1. Balanced and 2. Unbalanced Outputs

The SP1.7 offers both balanced (5.1) and unbalanced (7.1) outputs for power amplifiers or powered loudspeaker systems. The type you select to use will be determined by the input configuration of your amplifiers or self- powered loudspeakers.

NOTE: XLR and RCA connectors can be simultaneously utilized. (Example - Surround fill channels)

Back channel(s) are only available from the RCA outputs.

3. Analog Inputs

A paired stereo analog input with gold RCA jacks (labeled L and R, for Left and Right) is provided for each source button on the front panel.

The sensitivity of these Inputs is set to the industry standard of 2 Vrms, which should accommodate the vast majority of available source components. In Bypass mode, the input sensitivity is equivalent to the BP-25 preamplifier.

A 5.1 channel analog input is also provided on 6 RCA connectors. This is typically used for Multi-channel DVD-Audio, SACD, or external processors. In Bypass 5.1ch mode, the signal from the 5.1 channel analog inputs (RCA) will be routed through the volume controls and to their respective outputs, balanced and unbalanced. No bass management is available with the 5.1ch bypass mode.

4. Digital Audio Coaxial Inputs

The TV/SAT, DVD, CD, and AUX front panel selectable sources are also supplied with a standard SPDIF gold RCA jack digital audio input. These four inputs will accept any standard SPDIF source including DAT, CDR and similar components.
