Downmix multichannel source formats — Downmixing produces a mixed stereo
or mono channel with an additional option to redistribute the downmixed signal to
all channels.
Configurable analog input — Input 5 accepts balanced/unbalanced stereo analog
input and can be configured to accept one or two balanced/unbalanced mono
inputs through a captive screw connector. The mono source can be left, right, or a
mix summed of the two.
Adjustable gain for analog input — The input gain is adjustable from 0 to +24 dB
using the front panel controls or the SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software.
Multiple Listening Modes — Not all listening modes are compatible with certain
input signals. The listening mode depends not only on the format of the source
material but also on the speaker configuration of the setting. Only those listening
modes that are compatible for a given input are available for that signal. The
SSP 7.1 comes with factory default listening modes that have been matched to the
source format to take into account source format and speaker configuration.
Listening Mode Override — The Listening Mode Override customizes the
listening mode to the needs of the source format, speaker configuration, the venue,
and the listener's personal preferences. Selections made through the front panel
can be further refined by the SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software.
This feature can be used to associate a specific listening mode with each input type,
allowing the user to switch quickly to the listening mode that suits each input type
for a given room configuration and the individual user preferences.
Test Signals — Pink noise, Dolby noise (generated by the SSP 7.1) and external test
signals allow full calibration of each output channel.
Speaker Compensation Delay — The signal to each output channel can be
individually delayed so that the sound from all speakers is synchronized when it
reaches the listener.
Lip Sync Offset — This feature delays an audio signal so that it is resynchronized
with a video signal that has been delayed by video processing.
