    Be certain to maintain L/R consistency between the cables or you will accidentally reverse your stereo image. Note: The SBP-64X outputs should be run directly to a high level stage of your preamp without any input filtering. 1. Plug the power supply AC cord into the wall socket. DO NOT PLUG YOUR...
  • Page 6 These drop outs are caused by bad data in the digital stream which is sensed by the SBP-64X. This corruption in the data may be due to a poor input con- nection, damaged or dirty source material, or interconnects which do not have a wide enough bandwidth.

  • Page 9 CLASS "A" In audio components, Class "A" represents an operating state for power supplies and circuitry which is widely acknowledged as having superior sonic characteristics to other forms of operation. CLOCK SPEED The speed at which a processor operates, usually expressed in MttZ. COAXIAL A type of cable design where a center conductor is surrounded by an insulator which is then wrapped with a metallic shield.
