The digital connections should be made with high quality 75screened cable. Suitable cables are available from Meridian. We do not recommend using audio cables which do not have

adequate shielding or the correct impedance, or cables intended for UHF applications, as these do not provide adequate shielding in the 1–30MHz region.

The MHR Smart Link connection can be made with an SVGA computer monitor lead, available from PC dealers. A Smart Link cable is supplied with the 568.2. The analogue connections should be made with high-quality phono leads.
