Has anyone hooked a 271 to a Trinnov yet? TASCAM digital DB25-DB25 looks easy. BUT. then there is 271 config.

I'm checking to see what wisdom the Meridian guru's here might have

I'm assuming it works as Trinnov says they have dealers who have done it. The 271 manual says it should work, hehehe...

You have PM

Hi
My Trinnov arrived today, the 271 and the cable arrive tomorrow.
Friday I will attempt to set them up, so I hope it all works!
If someone has done it already maybe they would like to share any tips?

Hi

Finally got mine all working last weekend.

Assume you have got AC12s, check to read manual, as wiring of comms interesting. Also check out my thread on DSP33 comms, as slave connection can be fussy on AC12.

I missed the need for return s-lead, to AC12 and 271 did not talk to legacy DSPs.

Also I missed that master SpeakerLink needed to be in bottom row, slaves in top.

Which is your master, if 5500s then you will need return I think. Different if 7200 I think so check manual.

Surprised you still have these, no urge to change to 7200s?

Again advise you install control app and read manual couple of times.

Anyway enjoy combo, quite envious!

Read the Trinnov manual at least three times. I found a tablet (iPad in my case) the best interface for setting up the Altitude. I assume the 271, once configured, would play a passive role in the set-up.

In my setup I’m using the 271 for volume hence comms are important. Also you can tweak DSP settings etc.

You can turn 271 on off with trigger as well, then it will turn off on DSPs etc.

You can set Meridian sources to set input on 271, I am thinking of getting a 218 for music, via SpeakerLink on 271 so could set CD for this and TV for Atmos processor. But you have Trinov so perhaps you can control everything through that.

Can you use Trinnov as MQA endpoint?

Hi,

I've got the Trinnov connected to the 271 via digital.

The Trinnov is outputting the signal ok and the 271 reports it’s getting the signal ok but I can't seem get any sound from the speakers.

All the speakers connected to the correct SpeakerLink sockets on the 271, 1+2 for main L+R, 3 for centre (the master) and I've put the rear surrounds on 5+6. The Trinnov output is mapped to these channels.

I must be missing something obvious but what!?

Are you using AC12 or Reviver?

Check 2 things:

- Default input on 271, it is set to unbalanced by default on power up.

- That the master output has been changed to 3/4 SpeakerLink.

If you power up speakers with MSR is there still no sound?

Try different MSR sources / change to be digital Trinnov one)

I’m using AC12s for the non SL speakers.

Try DVD source on MSR.

Looks like default for DB25 digital.

Are all you speakers turning off and on, volume tracking?
