Hi Guys
Looking for a single S5 lead for connection speaker to speaker.
I can swop for a processor to speaker S5 lead as I ended up with 2 when I bought my 3 DSP's so can only use 2 of the 3 at the moment!

Hi gavp, I just found I was short an S5 cable myself. Searched this forum and found: https://www.meridianunplugged.com/u...bb=showflat&Number=93240&fpart=1so I decided to risk it with an old (I mean 1970s) analogue tape recorder 5-pin DIN-to-DIN lead. It worked! I use the M5 lead for the SPDIF signal and run the DIN-to-DIN lead for comms alongside. Or friends at www.maplins.co.uk will sell you a 5 metre DIN-to-DIN for �12.99 here: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=1096but I have not tried this one. Usual caveats apply. Try this at your own risk. The manual is very clear about not conecting audio DIN leads to the speaker but I suspect that means don't connect an audio signal DIN lead.
In the spirit of Spinaltap, I would like to confirm that I am not involved in the corrupt theft of a global sport.

I have just subtituted the Maplins part no L57BA (5 metre DIN-to-DIN lead) for the old DIN-to-DIN lead. It works fine. I also tested the Maplins part no JB22Y (a male to male 5-pin DIN coupler) joining the two cables and that works fine too.
These tests were as the Slave lead between two rear speakers but I can't see any reason why the wouldn't work between Master speaker and processor (also a Slave lead situation) or for extending the Slave end of a Master lead.
In the spirit of Spinaltap, I would like to confirm that I am not involved in the corrupt theft of a global sport.

Gavp,
I am heading to the UK soon so I could bring an S5 lead with me to mail to you and swap it for your M lead. How long is it ?
Let me know if you are interested.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Guys
Looking for a single S5 lead for connection speaker to speaker.
I can swop for a processor to speaker S5 lead as I ended up with 2 when I bought my 3 DSP's so can only use 2 of the 3 at the moment! You can cheat temporarily and run two Master cables out of the Preamp. For example one to Master Center and another to a Master Left (or Right). I've done it and it works, but I don't recommend it long term.
