REFERENCE SYSTEM: WIRING DIAGRAM CONTROL NETWORK QNAP (STORAGE) The Meridian Reference 7.4.2 ATMOS Specification builds upon the premium system by upgrading all speakers to our in-wall loudspeaker range. This provides the viewers with the greatest overall in-wall cinema experience. Audio signal is processed by an AV Receiver and the signal converted to SpeakerLink by our Meridian 271 Digital Theatre Controller. This allows Meridian DSP loudspeakers to used with non-meridian AV processors. The AVR can be any manufacturer as long as it has pre-outs in either an Analogue or Digital format. The front channels are DSP640 in-wall loudspeakers positioned behind the screen for a completely hidden solution.
