The integrated spectrum of the rich open cluster M 11 was synthesized with a library of stellar spectra. The availability of a significant number of stars in a color-magnitude diagram (CMD) allows for the study of the missing fainter stellar component by means of an integrated light synthesis technique. The CMD-aided synthesis tests, carried out with the integrated spectrum of M 11, confirm the necessity for astrophysically plausible constraints to be used in conjunction with fitting algorithms in population syntheses. These tests are particularly relevant for the population syntheses of more complex objects like galaxy nuclei, when stellar libraries are used.
