  Well, depending on the setup you have it should be possible. The Multibridge Extreme has 8 digital AES EBU outputs. For 5.1 you need 5 or 6. So it should be possible if your NLE supports the routing.

  What would be the set up?

  AES DB-25 out of the Multibridge to a 6 to 8 channel D/A to a Martin Sound Multimax to the Speakers?

  The important thing is that with the Multibridge, you have up to 12 digital audio outputs. So where you go from there is up to you. There are countless ways to do it. If you want the dirt cheap example, here ya go… buy a DB25 to XLR breakout cable. Get an AES to SPDIF adapter (XLR to RCA). Buy three consumer stereo amplifiers w/ SPDIF inputs. Send two channels to each one. Plug two speakers into each one. Voila.
