Playing Audio¶
The miniDSP SHD Studio has a range of input sources and output connections. This section provides an overview of the basics so you can quickly get started with playing audio.
Warning
Ensure all equipment is powered off when making audio connections.
Connecting sources¶
The diagram below shows the audio sources that can be connected to the miniDSP SHD Studio.
Connecting an amplifier and speakers¶
The diagram below illustrates a basic connection of a stereo DAC, amplifier and speakers to the miniDSP SHD Studio. Since the default settings of the SHD Studio route the input channels to output channels 1 and 2 with no crossovers active, you can make this connection for initial testing and listening.
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.
