The front left and right channels are supported with both balanced analog

 

outputs on XLR connectors and single-ended analog outputs on RCA

 

connectors.

using the balanced outputs

If your preamplifier/processor has balanced inputs for the front left and

 

right channels, connect these XLR outputs to them using high quality

 

balanced interconnects. Your Classé dealer can provide assistance in

 

selecting appropriate balanced cables for your system.

 

Balanced audio interconnections were originally developed in the

 

professional audio world, for preserving the delicate nuances of extremely

 

small microphone-level signals. For many years now, they have also been

 

used by performance-oriented consumer companies like Classé to preserve

 

every nuance of the finest audio performances in your collection.

 

Technically, balanced audio interconnections provide two distinct benefits:

 

they double the signal’s strength as it travels from one component to the

 

next, increasing the potential signal to noise ratio by 6 dB; they also do an

 

excellent job of rejecting noise and interference that might otherwise be

 

picked up between the components, due to either EMI (electromagnetic

 

interference) or RFI (radio frequency interference). In our modern world

 

of wireless telecommunications, there is more potential interference

 

floating around us than ever before—it makes sense to keep it all out of

 

our music and movie soundtracks.

 

For this reason, we strongly recommend using the balanced analog

 

interconnections between your Classé components wherever possible.
