Hi and welcome to the forum, don't worry about being a 'Meridian Newbie' we have all been there. It sounds like you starting to make good progress, excellent. The key thing with Meridian is that it is not plug & play one really does have to read and re-read the manuals.

As for not a having a 511 DSP DIN Comms Patch Box you don't need one as you can daisy chain the comms (BNC / DIN) from G68 to DSP to DSP to DSP etc. The 511 just helps to tidy up the cabling if you are using Meridians M5 and S5 leads that have both Digital Audio & DIN Comms connectors on them.


Whilst the G68 wizard is good I do recommend you go to the Meridian Software site and download the Common Installer on to PC with this you can get the Meridian Configuration application that can be used as an alternative to the wizard and does offer more feature like showing you how to connect up the kit and also for when your feeling ready for another adventure runs Meridian Room Correction software (MRC) that can help with bass issues.
Once you get in to multi-channel audio you will need to calibrate your system: for this your will need a tape measure, a SPL meter and a tripod/mic-stand to hold it steady.

Do keep us informed on how you’re getting on. Read and re-read the manuals and then ask away.
But most of all enjoy the music.

Regards,
Carl
