Integrating Sooloos Control 10 with DSP speakers
This document applies to DSP speakers featuring infra-red control, i.e. all models except for DSP420
and DSP33.
In a system where a pair of DSP speakers is connected to a Sooloos Control 10 touchscreen, the
Meridian remote can be used to control the Sooloos system. The functions available are Play, Stop,
Pause, Next Track and Previous Track. To do this, the Master speaker must be configured to “talk” to
the Sooloos.
It is also possible to use the Control 10 to control the volume of the Meridian speakers. This requires
the Control:Ten to be configured appropriately.
Both features require that the Control 10 is connected to the Master speaker (the one showing a red
LED) using either a “5M” lead or a SpeakerLink cable - as appropriate for the model of speaker
concerned.
A. Control of the Sooloos via the speakers
The speakers are configured using the Meridian MSR+ remote control. The relevant keys are shown
here:
Aux key
Function key
“0” key Up-cursor key Right-cursor key

1. Enter “Config” mode on the Master speaker. This is done by switching on the mains power to the
speaker while holding down the “0” key on the MSR+ remote control handset.
2. Press the “Aux” key on the remote. The speaker display will show “AU Aux” like this…
3. Press the right-cursor key twice. The display will show “AU NC” like this…
4. Press the up-cursor until the display shows “AU 4C”…
5. Switch off the mains power. This action stores the settings.
The speakers are now configured.

B.Control of speaker volume from the Sooloos touchscreen
Within the Sooloos settings, there is a "Meridian Integration" tick box (check box, if you prefer). This
must be ticked (checked) to activate the necessary comunications to be sent from the touchscreen to
the speaker. The setting is found under the Control 10 "Zone" selection of the device manager.
