5.2SPEAKER SETUP:

You may wish to set up the speakers first. It will make it easier to properly set the speaker output levels if you have configured the SSP-30 MKII so it “knows” what speakers you have in the system as well as the speaker sizes. You should also consult the manual for the speakers and for the subwoofer and decide what crossover frequency you should set for the subwoofer. Usually the crossover frequency will be around 80 Hz, but if your speakers are small and have no real Bass capability you may wish to get more information from the woofer by setting the crossover at 100 Hz or 120. You may also wish to check with your dealer about this section of the setup sequence.

These displays show that you have accessed the Speaker setup sub-menu and highlighted the Level setup. You can scan through the available choices by pressing repeatedly the \/ and /\ buttons on the remote. When the speaker you wish to adjust is highlighted press the < or > key to decrease or increase the size or presence. To Exit scroll down to Exit and press the ENTER key.

5.2.1Level setup: Although this manual is following the setup sub-menus in the order they appear on the Main menu screen, it will usually be necessary to first go to the Size setup section (Section 5.2.3), to configure the speakers in your particular system. You must tell the SSP-30 MKII how many speakers you have, what their size is and where they are in relation to the listener. We recommend you first use the “Speaker setup” selection to set those parameters, and then use the “Distance setup” (Section 5.2.2), to set the correct distances before moving on to the “Level setup” Menu selection. You will want to set the crossover point for the subwoofer you are using (if you are using one).

Level setup is most easily accomplished with the aid of an SPL meter. An inexpensive but relatively accurate meter is available at most Radio Shack stores, or through their catalog.

Classé recommends all speakers be set at equal levels, at a sound pressure level of 75dB. This level will usually enable you to watch movies with the Volume level set at 0dB, depending of course upon the show, how loud you like to listen and, of course, your neighbors.
