18 CAN-Bus Input and Output
CAN-Bus (Controller Area Network) allows several Classé components to
be connected together for simultaneous operation, such as switching from
On to Standby. Using the CAN-Bus Input and Output connectors, the
Classé components can be daisy chained together and controlled via the
CAN-Bus interface.
NOTE: The final component in the daisy chain MUST have a
termination plug inserted into the CAN-Bus output.
For more information, refer to the CAN-Bus section found later in this
manual.
19 10-Channel Analog Outputs
The SSP supports ten analog audio outputs, with both balanced (XLR)
and single-ended (RCA) connections. Connect the appropriate Front
L/R, Sub, Surr L/R, and Rear L/R connectors to the appropriate power
amplifiers.
NOTE: The Rear L/R connectors are only active when the
SSP output is setup for a 7.1-channel surround system and the
audio stream or the selected surround processing mode are providing
rear channel signals.
The Aux 1 and 2 outputs are programmable and can be used for the
following purposes:
• Assigned as a 2-channel down-mix of the selected multi-channel
signal for either an analog recorder or a separate listening area.
• Assigned to follow the main Front L/R speakers for use in a
biamplification arrangement.
• One or both may be assigned as additional subwoofers with the
ability to select between mono, and stereo modes.
Refer to the Menu System section for more details regarding optional uses
for the auxiliary analog output channels.
NOTE: The Balanced (XLR) Output pin assignments adhere to
the AES (Audio Engineering Society) "Pin 2 = hot" standard. The
XLR male outputs carry the following pin assignments:
Pin 1: Signal ground
Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
Refer to the operating manuals of your balanced-input power
amplifiers to verify that the pin assignments of their input
connectors adhere to this standard (Classé power amplifiers are
compliant). If your amplifiers are not compliant, ask your Classé
dealer for assistance.
