19CAN-Bus Input and Output

CAN-Bus (Controller Area Network) allows several Classé components to be connected together for simultaneous operation, such as switching from On to Standby. Using the CAN-Bus Input and Output connectors, the Classé components can be daisy chained together and controlled via the CAN-Bus interface.

NOTE: The final component in the daisy chain MUST have a termination plug inserted into the CAN-Bus output.

For more information, refer to the CAN-Bus section found later in this manual.

2010-Channel Analog Outputs

The SSP-800 supports ten analog audio outputs, with both balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA) connections. Connect the appropriate Front L/R, Sub, Surr L/R, and Rear L/R connectors to the appropriate power amplifiers.

NOTE: The Rear L/R connectors are only active when the

SSP-800 output is setup for a 7.1-channel surround system.

The Aux 1 and 2 outputs are programmable and can be used for the following purposes:

•Assigned as a 2-channel down-mix of the selected multi-channel signal for either an analog recorder or a separate listening area.

•Assigned to follow the main Front L/R speakers for use in a biamplification arrangement.

•One or both may be assigned as additional subwoofers with the ability to select between mono, and stereo modes.

Refer to the Menu System section for more details regarding optional uses for the auxiliary analog output channels.

NOTE: The Balanced (XLR) Output pin assignments adhere to the AES (Audio Engineering Society) “Pin 2 = hot” standard. The XLR male outputs carry the following pin assignments:

Pin 1: Signal ground

Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)

Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)

Connector ground lug: chassis ground

Refer to the operating manuals of your balanced-input power amplifiers to verify that the pin assignments of their input connectors adhere to this standard (Classé power amplifiers are compliant). If your amplifiers are not compliant, ask your Classé dealer for assistance.
