A friend will make me custom M and S leads, and to get the length of the different cables right I thought I'd better make sure here first...

Looking in the manual it seems like Meridian says we should use 511 patch boxes and/or have a finishing Slave lead go back from the last speaker to the processor, but it also shows one configuration with the spekers just daisy-chained from one to the next. I think some have written that daisy-chaining worked better for them than the more thorough methods.

I have a G68, a 5000C, a D1500 and two DSP33 - and it would be absolutely best for me if I could daisy-chain the speakers in that order: a Master to the centre speaker, then a slave to the sub, then on to the first and then the second surround speaker.

This would give me the shortest cables, but will it work alright? When I think about it now it doesn't seem so, I can't get both the centre/sub and the rear digital output into the same chain, can I?

thanks for any help,
Tommy Petersson
