Funnily enough, I think we'll see a return to action for the Meridian 512 Patch Panel here
In most 5.1 and 7.1 cases with embedded S Comms Cables, it will be a simpler means of propagating Comms around to the other DSP's than Re-Soldering with BNC's
Of course, why Meridian don't just come out and say this is beyond me....................
Carl, I agree with your comments about the fact there are a total of 5 Diagrams in the AC12 Manual and NONE of them are about the most popular Meridian Digital Theatres (5.1 & 7.1) out there. Just makes no sense
