Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Thread Like Summary - DSP5200HC firmware

Hi,

I'm looking for the firmware update for a DSP5200HC SpeakerLink. It's now 1.33 and I believe 2.69 is the latest or is it 3.16?

Sounds like the speaker is an early SpeakerLink and not the .2 version. If the tweeters have the newer 'M' logo, then it could be a .2 but usually, the speaker will start up and say "Meridian DSP5200.2" on the display at power-up.

It's definitely worth getting it serviced. That sounds like a bad capacitor. If you leave it and it goes short, it can do a lot more damage - white smoke will only be the start of it!

I've recently re-capped a 5200 that had a similar problem!

Cheers,
Steve

I'd recommend using Nichicon Fine Gold (if you can get hold of them).

Ideally for the DSP5200, replace like for like as Meridian had started to use quality capacitors for the newer DSPs.

Otherwise, look at the high-end Panasonics - but check the temperature and service life as 5200 amplifier panels run hot!
