Connecting speakers

The diagram below illustrates connection of a pair of speakers to the miniDSP SHD Power. The default settings of the SHD Power route the input channels to the speaker outputs with no crossovers active, so no further configuration is needed if you do not need to connect a subwoofer.

Of course, more complex connections are possible using the additional outputs. In that case, the internal processing will need to be set up using the miniDSP Device Console. Refer to the Signal Flow and DSP Reference sections for details.

Warning

Ensure all equipment is powered off when making audio connections.

Warning

Before playing audio for the first time, turn the volume down using the front panel encoder. Increase it gradually after audio playback starts.
