8 Digital Audio Output - Coaxial
The SSP supports one digital audio coaxial output, with SPDIF connector
labeled COAX. This output can pass PCM data streams up to 24-bits long
and up to 96kHz sampling frequency.
9 Digital Audio Output - Optical
These digital outputs carry only digital audio data, excluding any sub-
code information which some recorders might use to extract CD track
information.
10 7.1-Channel Analog Audio Inputs
These 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.
These 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.
11 2-Channel Balanced Analog Audio Inputs
The SSP-800/CT-SSP was designed with a 2-channel balanced analog
audio input, using a pair of balanced XLR connectors labeled R1 and L1.
Use this input with any 2-channel analog source component with balanced
outputs.
NOTE: This input conforms to the AES (Audio Engineering
Society) "pin 2 = hot" convention. The pin assignments of these
XLR-type female output connectors are:
Pin 1: Signal ground
Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
Verify that the source components are compliant with this
convention (Classé components are compliant). If not compliant,
contact your Classé dealer for assistance.
12 2-Channel Single-Ended Analog Audio Inputs
The SSP-800/CT-SSP was designed with a pair of 2-channel single-
ended analog audio inputs using the RCA connectors, labeled L2/R2 and
L3/R3. Use these inputs with any 2-channel single-ended analog source
component.
NOTE: The Balanced and Single Ended 2-channel analog audio
inputs can be set for either bypass mode (no DSP processing) or
converted to digital format to allow bass management, surround
mode processing, and/or equalization.
