S5 LEAD

Use the Comms part of an M5 lead to connect one of the COMMS sockets on the G68 to the digital speaker you have chosen as the master (typically the centre speaker).

Use the audio part of the M5 lead to connect the digital speaker to the appropriate digital output socket.

If the system includes more than two Meridian DSP loudspeakers you will need a 511 S-patch box (available separately) to link together the S5 leads from each speaker.

Connect the COMMS output from the master digital speaker to one socket on the 511 using an S5 lead.

Link each pair of speakers together with an S5 lead, out of the first speaker and into the second speaker, as shown in the diagram for the main L&R.

Connect the inputs to the first speaker of each additional pair to the 511 (Comms) and the appropriate output of the G68 (audio), using an S5 lead.

The speakers should then be configured appropriately as master and slaves, and Left, Right, Centre, Surround; see Meridian DSP Loudspeaker User Guide for more details.
