Classe Audio SSP-30 MKII - Manual (Page 5)

The Classé SSP-30 MKII Preamplifier/Surround Sound Processor is a beautiful sounding high end
two channel Preamplifier which also does the complex Surround Sound tasks of making multi-channel
movies out of data, while remaining simple and intuitive enough for anyone to use. The SSP-30 MKII is
the high quality center of any audio and home theater installation. It will sound and work best in your
system when used with other high end products, such as those from Classé. Classé has a powerful
selection of single, dual and multi channel power amplifiers, and also builds wonderful CD/DVD players
and CD players.
This owners manual will make it possible for you to set up the SSP-30 MKII and begin using it only
a very few minutes after you take it out of the box. The Section 1 quickly details getting it out of the box
and suggests a few precautions. Section 2 explains how to plug in all the wires from all the associated
equipment. Section 3, 4, 5, and 6 include instructions on setting up and using the SSP-30 MKII stereo
and surround sound capabilities correctly.
The most difficult part of the set-up will be attaching all the wires. Classé recommends labeling
each and every input or output wire in your system, including the AC cables. When you’ve done this you
will know what equipment is connected at each end. Labeling is a simple task which takes a few extra
minutes, but which can save hours of effort if you ever want to change anything, even a single cable or
wire.
It is also a good idea to make a chart of all the associated equipment and how you want to attach
everything together. Even a simple penciled flow chart will make your tasks go faster with fewer hookup
errors. You can keep the chart for later reference when you want to add to or subtract equipment from
the system.
