18 CAN-Bus Input and Output
CAN-Bus(ControllerAreaNetwork)allowsseveralClassécomponentsto
be connected together for simultaneous operation, such as switching from
On to Standby.UsingtheCAN-BusInputandOutputconnectors,the
Classé components can be daisy chained together and controlled via the
CAN-Businterface.
NOTE: e nal component in the daisy chain MUST have a
termination plug inserted into the CAN-Bus output.

19 10-Channel Analog Outputs
e SSP supports ten analog audio outputs, with both balanced (XLR)
and single-ended (RCA) connections. Connect the appropriate Front
L/R, Sub, Surr L/R, and Rear L/R connectors to the appropriate power
ampliers.
NOTE: e Rear L/R connectors are only active when the
SSP output is setup for a 7.1-channel surround system and the
audio stream or the selected surround processing mode are providing
rear channel signals.
e Aux 1 and 2 outputs are programmable and can be used for the
following purposes:

• Oneorbothmaybeassignedasadditionalsubwooferswiththe
ability to select between mono, and stereo modes.
Refer to the Menu System section for more details regarding optional uses
for the auxiliary analog output channels.
NOTE: e Balanced (XLR) Output pin assignments adhere to
the AES (Audio Engineering Society) “Pin 2 = hot” standard. e
XLR male outputs carry the following pin assignments:
Pin 1: Signal ground
Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
Refer to the operating manuals of your balanced-input power
ampliers to verify that the pin assignments of their input
connectors adhere to this standard (Classé power ampliers are
compliant). If your ampliers are not compliant, ask your Classé
dealer for assistance.
