Exceptional Design Features
The SSP-800 is a next-generation surround sound preamp/processor, conceived with pure performance as its raison d’être. It seamlessly unites a multitude of disparate audio and video signal formats to faithfully reproduce your music and movies as the artist intended.
The SSP-800 is also available in a Custom Theater chassis (CT-SSP), specially designed to facilitate rack mount installations. The CT series offers an alternative to the Delta series industrial design and may also be used on a shelf or in a traditional cabinet by installing the supplied feet and front panel security tabs.
The SSP-800/CT-SSP is a ten-channel preamp/processor with both balanced and single-ended connections for all channels. A comprehensive set of analog and digital inputs and control interfaces enable compatibility with most contemporary AV system equipment.
Advanced circuit topologies, component parts, and circuit layout techniques combine for superior audio performance. Opto-couplers and low voltage differential signal (LVDS) pathways thoroughly isolate audio, video, and control circuits.
Analog audio circuits benefit from a dedicated linear power supply based on a low noise toroidal transformer. Digital and control circuits draw from a separate low-noise, high current switching supply.
Custom-configured digital-to-analog converters and output stage components ensure exceptional dynamic range and resolution.
The SSP-800/CT-SSP incorporates professional grade video circuitry that has extraordinary bandwidth and dynamic range. Due to this, it can handle even the
most demanding video signals specified in the HDTV standard. Whether the video is carried on HDMI, high definition component, or standard definition cables, it is decoded and made available for display and preview. Reference quality circuitry is used throughout the video path, delivering uncompromised picture quality.
