Size setup
(Continued):
You can set the subwoofer crossover frequency from 40 Hz to 140 Hz in 10 Hz steps (the slope is 24dB per
octave). The crossover frequency is the frequency below which the bass signal does not go to small speakers, but
is redirected to the large speakers or subwoofer.
• Enhanced Bass duplicates the subwoofer information to both the large speakers and the subwoofer. You may desire
this in some cases to get more bass from your system.
Classé recommends a conservative approach towards speaker setup. Setting up medium sized speakers as Large may
degrade the sound by asking speakers to do more than they can. Subwoofers are very good at filling in the low
frequencies for a whole system. If you don’t let them provide the full amount of low frequencies required to balance your
system you will often miss some of the sound effects in music and AV program.

Auto-calibration
: Automatic calibration is easier but will work properly only in a quiet environment. Too much
ambient noise such as air conditioning, forced air heating, or people talking in the room can cause the auto-calibration to
fail. First, insert the battery in the calibration microphone. Plug the microphone into the MIC input at the back of the SSP-
60. Turn the microphone on and install it at the preferred listening position (or in the middle of the seating area) pointing
straight up (this microphone is omni-directional). Do not hold the microphone in your hand. Use a microphone stand or a
camera stand or simply prop it up with pillows.

Before you begin, set the volume level of the SSP-60 to a reasonably loud level (start around -10) and turn up your
subwoofer level. To activate distance auto-calibration place the cursor at “Dist. Autocalibrate ?” and press ENTER. The
monitor screen will immediately change to the following:

The process will stop when all speakers’ delays (distances) have been properly calibrated, unless there is an error. If the
speakers are too far apart or not set up correctly, the process will stop. The process will also cease if the speaker it is
attempting to calibrate is not attached or of the initial noise level from the speaker is too low. When this situation occurs,
an error message (autocalibration error) will appear at the top of your TV display (or screen). You will then have to press
any key on the remote to continue.
The calibrating process will generally begin again with the speaker it stopped at. We have observed that, depending on
the acoustics of your listening space, the subwoofer distance auto-calibration may fail or return unreasonable results. If this
happens try one of the following solutions: If the subwoofer level was very soft during the first pass of the auto-calibration
