Digital version ( G68D)
The G68 hardware architecture is designed to process up to 12
completely independent output channels. Currently the software
limits the number of outputs to a total of eight: Main L/R, Centre,
Sub, Rears, and either Sides or two more additional subwoofers.
All versions of the G68 provide analogue and/or digital output
sockets for these eight speakers. The G68D, G68AXV, and G68ADV
provide an additional stereo output (A/B) which may currently be
used for a pair of subwoofers. Future software updates will allow
these outputs to be used in addition to side speakers for either
extra subwoofers or height channels.
The G68ADV and G68D feature a pair of analogue outputs, LZ/RZ,
which can be used for any pair of outputs. For example on the
G68D a Meridian Digital Theatre may be complemented with
an analogue subwoofer or a pair of analogue rear speakers. In
conjunction with the other outputs this will in the future allow the
G68ADV and G68D to drive up to 12 independent outputs.
