To-date the word from the Mothership is that there is no cost effective upgrade of DSP speakers' amp packs in order to retrofit Speakerlink.

There is no Coax phono socket however; SPDIF (the digital audio signal format) is connected to the DSP420 via the connection box Digital Audio In / Ground. (Digital Audio Out / Ground for looping across to the other DSP in the pair).

SpeakerLink (AES/EBU) is not compatible with SPDIF without some form of passive converter.

It might be that this "connection box" could be swapped out by Meridian to one that is SpeakerLink compatible; you would have to speak to your dealer about it. However, past history suggests that Meridian would sell you one.

Regards,
Carl

Thanks a lot.

I will email Mothership to see what is possible.

Does Meridian still have an address to get in contact with them ?

Hi Peter, M HQ in the UK will not speak to you, you must go though a dealer. Or try Phone Meridian in the USA, who still (but not for much longer) will speak to you.

However, please note that a "reviver" box would also sort you out for about 100 Euro's from Robert W which is a lot cheaper than an AC12.

Carl
