•The name of each position can be specified in the same way that sources are. (See input setup earlier in this section.)

•autocalibration uses the provided microphone to calibrate the system automatically for optimal performance in each of these four positions.

Simply plug in the microphone to the mic input on the rear panel, place the microphone at the desired position, and then press auto levels and auto delays in turn, allowing the SSP-300 to run its tests and establish the correct settings for you.

•manual levels adjusts the speakers levels manually as you might have done with other surround processors. A noise sequencer is available to provide a reference signal for adjustment purposes.

Holding a dB SPL meter at the listening position, at arm’s length, and pointing straight up at the ceiling, adjust the level of each speaker in turn until it reads 75 dB SPL when the meter is set to “C” weighting and Slow response.

•manual distance adjusts the distances settings manually as you might have done with other surround processors. Simple measure the distance with a tape measure or equivalent, and enter the distance into the menu. The SSP-300 will automatically convert this distance to the appropriate delay.

Each of the SSP-300’s DC triggers may be programmed to either “logic” (12V) or “inverse logic” (0V) settings. The ability to change the way the trigger operates can solve installation-specific problems that otherwise require external devices that add to both the cost and complexity of your system.

For more information on the use of DC triggers, we recommend you speak with your authorized Classé dealer.

The maximum volume screen allows you to establish a maximum volume setting for your system. This scale runs from 0 to 100, with 100 indicating that you do not want any artificial limit placed on the maximum gain your surround processor can provide.

This setting is interactive. You can set the value to something less than 100, and then adjust the volume to see whether it is appropriate. (The volume knob itself does not set the maximum volume; you must do so in the menu itself.)
