7 Digital Audio Inputs - Coaxial
Th e SSP supports four digital audio inputs, with SPDIF connectors labeled
COAX1 to COAX4. Th ese inputs accept PCM data streams up to
24-bits long and up to 192kHz sampling frequency. We recommend using
cables that are optimized for digital audio signal transfer and that carry a
75Ω impedance rating. Your Classé dealer can help you with proper cable
selections.
8 Digital Audio Inputs - Optical
Th e SSP supports four digital audio inputs, with optical TOSlink
connectors labeled OPT1 to OPT4. Th ese inputs accept PCM data
streams up to 24-bits long and up to 192kHz sampling frequency. We
recommend using cables that are optimized for digital audio signal transfer.
Your Classé dealer can help you with proper cable selections.
NOTE: Th e bandwidth limits of TOSlink™ components are very
much strained at a 192kHz sampling frequency. For that reason we
recommend keeping the TOSlink™ connections at a maximum rate
of 96kHz.
9 Digital Audio Output - Coaxial
Th e SSP supports one digital audio coaxial output, with SPDIF connector
labeled COAX. Th is output can pass PCM data streams up to 24-bits long
and up to 96kHz sampling frequency.
10 Digital Audio Output - Optical
Th ese digital outputs carry only digital audio data, excluding any sub-
code information which some recorders might use to extract CD track
information.
11 7.1-Channel Analog Audio Inputs
Th ese inputs are designed for any multi-channel source with analog
outputs, such as SACD players. When connecting the analog audio inputs,
make sure to attach each cable from the source component output to the
appropriate SSP input.
Starting from the source, connect the Front Left output to the FL (Front
Left) input of the SSP, then the source center output to the CEN (center)
input of the SSP, and so on.
Th ese analog audio input signals are passed through the SSP and to the
speakers with no processing. When these inputs are selected, only volume
control is enabled.
