SSP 7.1 Setup Guide
Overview
The Extron
®
SSP 7.1 is a 7.1 channel surround sound processor with four digital
inputs and one analog input. The unit accepts a range of source formats and
uses various listening mode options for use in 5.1 to 7.1 surround sound system
configurations.
The listening mode determines which audio signals will be passed to the speakers.
Each combination of source format and speaker configuration has a default
listening mode. The default listening mode can be overridden by the front panel
controls and the SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software to select a mode that matches
the requirements of the room and the personal preferences of the listener.
This guide provides basic instructions for an experienced installer to install and perform the initial configuration of the
SSP 7.1. For further details, see the SSP 7.1 User Manual on the Extron W
SSP 7.1 Installation
Attach the four rubber feet provided with the SSP 7.1, and place the unit on any convenient flat surface. The SSP 7.1 can
also be mounted in a rack with the optional rack-mounting kit (RSU 126, part number 60-190-10), or under furniture with
the optional under-furniture mounting kit (MBU 125, part number 70-077-01). For complete instructions on mounting the

SSP 7.1 Cable Connections
The SSP 7.1 uses an IEC power cable to connect to a 100 - 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, power source.
The SSP 7.1 accepts four digital inputs and one analog input:
•
Inputs 1 and 2 accept digital signals through S/PDIF optical cables.
•
Inputs 3 and 4 accept digital signals through S/PDIF coaxial cables.
•
Input 5 accepts a balanced or unbalanced, stereo or mono analog input through a 5-pin captive screw connector.
The SSP 7.1 outputs are balanced/unbalanced, line level, analog signals that feed into multi-channel amplifiers for
configurations up to 7.1 surround sound. See the wiring card (included) to ensure correct connections to the SSP 7.1.
Connect the front panel Config port or rear panel RS-232 port to a PC that has the SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software
installed (see "SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software Installation" on the next page).
