Will a normal BNC to BNC cable work between the AC12 and a DSP3100 and than from 1st 3100 to the 2nd 3100 ?
This might be the most easy to source (75 Ohm video coax terminated with BNC) The BNC on the AC12 is for communication not audio. So I mean there is no need for 75 Ohms waver resistance at all. But if you mean the comm line,there are examples for the that in the AC12 user guide. For non SL speakers the com(coax) go from AC 12 to the first speaker and then the second speaker. If you want you can go daisy chained further to every speaker if you need. Or dit I missed your question? Robert

If anybody is doing this soon, they should try a Meridian 512 Patch Panel.
I'm pretty sure this will essentially replace the functionality (for Comms) of the internal SL00 in the 861v4
Give it a try as your dealer should be able to supply you with one of these free of charge

Or dit I missed your question? I could use the cinch of the S-link for the audio and a new coax for the comms, that would save me re-soldering the S-link. 67 euro for 100 meter good coax, and 1.25 euro per connector Or just ask the dealer for the correct cables. Or buy 2 more AC12 units.

No, I mean the 511 Patch Panel which should come with the G68 and historically the 568 in order to accommodate extra Comm ports, as the G68 and 568 have a very limited number

I find myself in two camps here. Having just gone speakerlink across the front (new speakers) I can appreciate the reduction in cable count thats snaking around to the front of the room from the processor (i.e. 3x S5 + 1x M5 has become 3x speakerlink); but (and its a big but) I really did expect the AC12 to be an SL00 replacement - i.e. unplug S5 from ID42/SL00 on v4 and then plug speakerlink from v6 and S5 into AC12, job done - but it just ain't so (I have my AC12 at the processor end).
On the BNC front the soldering is dead easy if you are confident (or your dealer is!). I used a phono with a BNC converter on it - chop off (or unsolder) the Din at the AC12 end and you then have a 2 core cable; solder centre core to centre pin and shield to shield on the phono, screw it all back togethor and connect to result to master BNC on AC12 - done
GP Just to be clear did you use your S lead cable and cut off one end of it or a totally new cable.Also what do you mean by "phono with a converter on it"-- do you mean a phono cable and you used the end of it? Sorry for the questions -just trying to make this easy for myself. Joe

What I find interesting is that just chopping of the DIN plug at the "Product" end of an S-Lead cable and soldering on a new connector; does not make it an M-lead as there is also a difference within the DIN plug at the "DSP" end.
S-Lead DIN(5-180) has the "signal" wire connected to both pins 1 and 5.
M-Lead DIN(5-180) has the "signal" wire connected to only pin 5.
Anyone know why?
I assumed pin 1 was connected or not so that the DSP could distinguish between having an M or S lead plugged in. Of course with advent of BNC comms connectors there is no scope for different wiring so may be the pin 1 connection is historical and is redundant these days and can just be omitted.
I wish I new more on how M-Comms worked, I have always assumed it is based on a "Multi Drop" serial communication standard like RS423.

Carl

Joe - Yes I used my original S5 lead and removed the 180 plug at the processor end and soldered on a standard phono plug. To that i added a simple push-on BNC converter to get the required connector
