Connecting an amplier and speakers
The diagram below illustrates a basic connection of a stereo amplier and a pair of speakers to the
miniDSPFlexEight. Since the default settings of the FlexEight route the input channels to output channels 1 and 2
with no crossovers active, you can make this connection for initial testing and listening.
