7 Optical Digital Inputs
These connectors accept digital audio signals in the EIAJ optical
(sometimes called “Toslink™”) digital interface standard from a digital
satellite receiver, compact disc, DVD player or other digital source
component. Connect the optical digital output of your source component
to either of the EIAJ optical inputs using a high quality EIAJ optical cable.
Your Classé dealer can assist you in making an appropriate cable selection.
8 AES/EBU Digital Input
This input accepts digital audio in the professional 110
Ω AES/EBU digital
interface standard (via a cable equipped with XLR-type connectors)
from a digital satellite receiver, compact disc, DVD or other digital
source component. Connect the
AES/EBU digital output of your source
component to the AES/EBU input of the SSP-300 using a high quality
110Ω AES/EBU cable. Your Classé dealer can assist you in making an
appropriate cable selection.
The pin assignments of these AES/EBU XLR-type female input connectors
are:
Pin 1: Shield
Pin 2: Digital + (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Digital – (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
These pin assignments are consistent with the standards adopted by the
Audio Engineering Society and the European Broadcast Union. Refer
to the operating manual of your digital source to verify that the pin
assignments of its output connector corresponds to the SSP-300. If not,
wire the cable so that the appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent
input pin.
9 Classé CAN Bus Control Ports
These RJ-45 connectors are reserved for future control and communication
applications using Classé Audio’s implementation of the Controller Area
Network (CAN) Bus specification.
10 RS-232 Control Port
This port has two purposes:
• downloading new operating software into your surround
processor (should new features ever be added).
• external control of your surround processor by systems such as
i-Command
™
, AMX
®
and Crestron
™.
