  • Page 7: Introduction

    “surround sound processor” all refer to the SSP 7.1 unit. About the SSP 7.1 The SSP 7.1 is a 7.1 channel surround sound processor with four digital inputs and one analog input. A variety of selectable listening modes can be changed to match the source format.

  • Page 8: Ssp 7.1 Features

    Listening mode override — Listening mode override customizes the listening mode to the needs of the source format, speaker configuration, the venue, and the personal preferences of the listener. Selections made through the front panel can be further refined by the SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software.
  • Page 9 The SSP 7.1 also offers the option to use an external source for test signals, which can then be directed to any speaker, or all speakers in sequence.

    Dolby Noise — Dolby noise provides a bandpass-filtered noise, centered at 750 Hz with a 12 dB/octave roll off. This signal is also generated by the SSP 7.1 and is used to set speakers to the same level when calibrating the room.

  • Page 24: Listening Mode Settings

    Listening Mode Settings The SSP 7.1 provides a range of settings that refine the sound distribution for each listening mode, depending on the decoding mode that has been selected. Dolby Pro Logic II or IIx Music Dimension control — This feature alters the ratio of L+R to L-R for two-channel input signals, which adjusts the sound field towards the front or towards the back.
