Introduction 5 Introduction Congratulations on choosing DSP5000 digital loudspeakers. We are confident that they will give a quality to your music that is unprecedented, and bring years of listening pleasure. This manual will enable you to get the most from them. The DSP5000 is a sophisticated product. You should therefore read all the supplied documentation before fully installing the DSP5000, particularly if you intend to customise its functions. We have supplied a Getting going sheet for thos

Description 6 DSP5000 description You will find it simpler to understand how the DSP5000 works if you consider it as a combination of the following components: • digital preamplifier, to select and control up to two digital sources directly, and to provide fixed and switched digital output for the other DSP5000 • digital audio processor, whose functions include decoding as well as error detection and correction • digital signal-processor, dealing with tone controls, digital crossover, dynamic b

Description 7 Control The DSP5000s are operated either by commands received from the Meridian System Remote (MSR) supplied with the loudspeakers, or by commands received through the communications cables of a Meridian installation (for example, from the front panel of a 562 or 601). The remote control provides enough keys to allow you to drive a Meridian installation via the DSP5000s, and this is the method to be preferred. Note If you have any 200-Series components to connect to the DSP5000, t

Installation 8 • hex wrench (3mm), for drive units If any of these items is missing, please contact your dealer. We suggest that you retain the packing carefully, as it provides maximum protection for the unit in transit. NOTE Take great care when unpacking or re-packing the DSP5000 that you do not put undue pressure on the front, as the drive units may be damaged if pressed. Fitting the feet It is easiest to fit the feet with the speakers upside down, before removing the inner carton or foam pa

Using DSP5000 10 Installing your DSP5000 General precautions Before carrying out any installation, you should ensure that the DSP5000 is marked with the correct voltage for your local AC supply. Should this not be the case, do not proceed, but contact your dealer. As a general rule, you should not make any connections to the DSP5000, or to any other component in your system, when the AC power supply is switched on. Customising features The DSP5000 is very flexible. Its functions can be significa

Using DSP5000 12 Final adjustments When you are sure that the DSP5000s are in the right places, you should adjust and finally tighten the feet with the wrench provided. We strongly suggest that you try to use the spike feet, in order to get the best sound. • Foot caps may be fitted if the spikes are unacceptable The spikes allow the DSP5000s to rest firmly on the floor. A spike passes through carpet to the wood or concrete below, and does less damage in the long run than a wide foot. The best so

Using DSP5000 14 Basic operation of DSP5000 Note DSP5000 is factory set for the most common installation, one using the full features of a Meridian 500-Series CD player and 562 controller. We call this a Type 1 installation. For more details, see Appendix 1 on page 55. Selecting sources To switch from CD to another input, say Radio: 1. Press Radio In Type 1, this will select RD on a Meridian 562. Both DSP5000s display rd 65 Here rd means that the source is a radio tuner, and that the DSP5000 ex

If the disc includes significant index points, the display will be like this: 3.4 3.4 here means track 3, index point 4. In theory, with the right disc, we could see displays of track and index up to 99.99. Index point 1 is never displayed. While the CD player is loading a disc (reading the disc’s directory), the DSP5000 will show the directory message: dir At the end of a CD, the DSP5000 will detect the lead-out

Using DSP5000 19 perhaps to compensate for a non-central listening position or a highly asymmetric layout. This is certainly not the case. Stereo sound is dependent upon time differences between the signals from the channels. To get the best out of a normal stereo system, you should be in the correct position in relation to the speakers. The balance control of the DSP5000, however, uses digital signal- processing to delay and diminish the sound in one speaker, thus effectively shifting the speak
