3 Digital Audio Inputs - Coaxial
The CP-800 supports three digital audio inputs, with SPDIF connectors
labeled COAX1 to COAX3. These inputs accept PCM data streams up to
24-bits long and up to 192 kHz 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.
4 Digital Audio Inputs - Optical
The CP-800 supports four digital audio inputs, with optical TOSlink
connectors labeled OPT1 to OPT4. These inputs accept PCM data
streams up to 24-bits long and up to 192 kHz 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: The bandwidth limits of TOSlink™ components are very
much strained at a 192 kHz sampling frequency. For that reason
you may want to limit signals using the TOSlink™ connections to a
maximum rate of 96 kHz.
5 Analog Audio Inputs - Single-Ended
The CP-800 supports 3pr of RCA type connectors for single-ended analog
sources. They are labeled R1/L1 to R3/L3.
NOTE: An optional phono stage may be installed inside the CP-
800. It uses input connectors R1/L1, can be configured for either
MM or MC phono cartridges and offers various custom loading
options. See your Classé dealer/distributor for installation details.
6 Analog Audio Inputs - Balanced
The CP-800 supports 2pr of XLR type connectors for balanced analog
sources. They are labeled R4/L4 and R5/L5.
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.
NOTE: The Balanced and Single-Ended 2-channel analog
audio inputs can be set for either digital bypass mode (all DSP
processing switched off) or converted to digital format to allow bass
management, tone control and/or equalization. If no processing is
applied, analog signals remain in the analog domain, even if not
specifically set to digital bypass.
