13 7.1-Channel Analog Outputs

e Sigma SSP supports eight channels of analog audio output, with both

balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA) connections available for the

Front Left and Front Right channels. Connect the FR or R and FL or L

outputs to the Right and Left amplier channels respectively. Connect C

to the Center channel, S to the Subwoofer and SL and SR to the Surround

Left and Surround Right channels respectively.

e AUX 1 and 2 outputs are congurable and can be used for the

following purposes:

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.

NOTE: e Height L/R connectors are only active when the SSP

output is setup for a multichannel system where the audio stream

or the selected surround processing mode are providing Height

channel signals.

For additional details on setting up the Auxiliary channels, see the

Conguration Setup description in the Menu System section found later in

this manual.

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

ampliers to verify that the pin assignments of their input

connectors adhere to this standard (Classé power ampliers are

compliant). If your ampliers are not compliant, it may not pose a

problem, but ask your Classé dealer for assistance.
