7Optical Digital Inputs

These connectors accept digital audio signals in the EIAJ optical (sometimes called “Toslink™”) digital interface standard from a digital satellite receiver, compact disc, DVD player or other digital source component. Connect the optical digital output of your source component to either of the EIAJ optical inputs using a high quality EIAJ optical cable. Your Classé dealer can assist you in making an appropriate cable selection.

8AES/EBU Digital Input

This input accepts digital audio in the professional 110Ω AES/EBU digital interface standard (via a cable equipped with XLR-type connectors) from a digital satellite receiver, compact disc, DVD or other digital source component. Connect the AES/EBU digital output of your source component to the AES/EBU input of the SSP-300 using a high quality 110Ω AES/EBU cable. Your Classé dealer can assist you in making an appropriate cable selection.

The pin assignments of these AES/EBU XLR-type female input connectors are:

Pin 1: Shield

Pin 2: Digital + (non-inverting)

Pin 3: Digital – (inverting)

Connector ground lug: chassis ground

These pin assignments are consistent with the standards adopted by the Audio Engineering Society and the European Broadcast Union. Refer to the operating manual of your digital source to verify that the pin assignments of its output connector corresponds to the SSP-300. If not, wire the cable so that the appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent input pin.

9Classé CAN Bus Control Ports

These RJ-45 connectors are reserved for future control and communication applications using Classé Audio’s implementation of the Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus specification.

10RS-232 Control Port This port has two purposes:

•downloading new operating software into your surround processor (should new features ever be added).

•external control of your surround processor by systems such as i-Command™, AMX® and Crestron™.
