Setting the channel selector switch

• Select Left or Centre. If Image Elevation is required, refer to the User Guide.
  If the loudspeaker is on the left of the system (two-channel or multichannel):

• Select Left or Centre.
  If the loudspeaker is on the right of the system (two-channel or multichannel):

• Select Right.
  If using a single loudspeaker on its own, or if using multiple speakers where the listening area does not have clearly defined left and right loudspeaker positions:

• Select L+R to play a balanced mix of left and right audio

Additional configuration

Additional configuration is only required if:

• You want to connect one or more digital audio sources directly to the Digital In, Optical In, or USB Audio inputs on the Master loudspeaker. Slave loudspeakers do not require this configuration.
• You want to be able to change the default settings of any loudspeaker, and no suitable Meridian product is connected to the loudspeakers which could provide access to those settings.

To carry out additional configuration:

Use the Meridian Control app on a Bluetooth phone or tablet to communicate with the B-Link adapter (supplied with the loudspeakers) while it is connected to the Speaker Link input of the loudspeaker.

When run for the first time, the app includes a simple step-by step installation process.

The Meridian Control app provides access to the configuration and control options on the DSP9 itself:

DSP9 loudspeakers are supplied ready for use in many applications. Their Speaker Link connections are active, and each loudspeaker will automatically detect its role as a Master or Slave. The only  configuration required in these cases is to set the channel selectors witch on each DSP9 – see step 2 of this guide.

Steps 3 and 4 of this guide are required only under the circumstances described within those steps.

Control of the loudspeakers can be carried out in a variety of ways, depending on the type of system they are used in. Details for a variety of system applications are given in the product’s User Guide. The User Guide also includes comprehensive information on installing and configuring the loudspeakers in different system scenarios.
