Classe Audio Surround Sound Processor SSP-800 Manual De Usuario

24

Your SSP-800 Surround Sound Processor is delivered with default factory 
settings to facilitate initial setup. But we highly recommend that you work with 
your Classé dealer for the fi nal setup of the SSP-800 processor. Your dealer’s 
knowledge and experience with Classé products will ensure that your surround 
system is optimized for your listening space.

However, if you can’t wait to get started, this section is designed to assist you in 
setting up and becoming familiar with the SSP-800 hardware. Once the initial 
setup is complete, be sure to read the rest of this manual to familiarize yourself 
with the daily operation and customizable features of your SSP-800 Surround 
Sound Processor.

Step 1

Connecting all system components to AC power, before making any 
interconnections between components, ensures that every component has a solid 
connection to ground. Th

  is lessens the chances of a static discharge that may 

damage delicate electronics or your loudspeakers.

Step 2

Choose the appropriate cables.
Before you start connecting components together, let’s take a minute to discuss 
the cables you will be using. Th

  e audio outputs available on the rear panel 

include both balanced XLR connectors and unbalanced, or single-ended, RCA 
connectors.

Single-ended RCA audio connections are the most popular means of 
transmitting audio in consumer electronics. As long as you use high quality, low 
capacitance cables, single-ended connections provide very satisfactory results.

However, balanced audio connections between components provide the best 
analog signal connection because they eff ectively double the signal strength.  
More importantly, as compared to single-ended connections, they signifi cantly 
improve resistance to common noise, therefore enhancing audio transparency, 
detail, and dynamics.

Please consult your local Classé dealer for advice on which cables are best suited 
for your system.
