1 Coaxial digital output
This output provides a S/PDIF digital audio signal for use with a processor
or external digital-to-analog (D/A) converter.
Connect this output to a corresponding coaxial digital input on your
preamplifier/processor. Doing so allows you to feed the signal in its digital
form directly to your A/V preamplifier for further digital processing.
2 Balanced (XLR) analog outputs
These XLR outputs provide a high quality, balanced stereo analog
signal to your processor or external (D/A) converter. Connect them
to corresponding balanced inputs on your processor or external (D/A)
converter, 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 the world of wireless
telecommunications, there is more potential interference around than ever
before—it makes sense to keep it out of music and movie soundtracks.
