9 Digital Audio Output - Coaxial
e SSP-800 supports one digital audio coaxial output, with SPDIF
connector labeled COAX.  is output can pass PCM data streams up to
24-bits long and up to 96kHz sampling frequency.
10 Digital Audio Output - Optical
ese digital outputs carry only digital audio data, excluding any sub-
code information which some recorders might use to extract CD track
information.
11 7.1-Channel Analog Audio Inputs
ese inputs are designed for any multi-channel source with analog
outputs, such as SACD or DVD players, although we highly recommend
using the HDMI or digital outputs if possible. When connecting the
analog audio inputs, make sure to attach each cable from the source
component output to the appropriate SSP-800 input.
Starting from the source, connect the Front Left output to the FL (Front
Left) input of the SSP-800, then the source centre output to the CEN
(centre) input of the SSP-800, and so on.
ese analog audio input signals are passed through the SSP-800 and
to the speakers with no processing, to preserve the purity of the original
signal. When these inputs are selected, only volume control processing is
enabled.
12 2-Channel Balanced Analog Audio Inputs
e SSP-800 was designed with a 2-channel balanced analog audio input,
using a pair of balanced XLR connectors labeled R1 and L1. Use this input
with any 2-channel analog source component with balanced outputs.
NOTE:  is input conforms to the AES (Audio Engineering
Society) “pin 2 = hot” convention.  e pin assignments of these
XLR-type female output connectors are:
Pin 1: Signal ground
Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
Verify that the source components are compliant with this
convention (Classé components are compliant). If not compliant,
contact your Classé dealer for assistance.
13 2-Channel Single-Ended Analog Audio Inputs
e SSP-800 was designed with a pair of 2-channel single-ended analog
audio inputs using the RCA connectors, labeled L2/R2 and L3/R3. Use
these inputs with any 2-channel single-ended analog source component.
NOTE:  e Balanced and Single Ended 2-channel analog audio
inputs can be set for either bypass mode (no DSP processing) or
converted to digital format to allow bass management, surround
mode processing, and/or equalization.
