SSP-800

SURROUND SOUND PROCESSOR

The SSP-800 is a ten-channel preamp/processor, offering both balanced and single-ended connections for all

channels. Audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is handled by a Texas Instruments-based platform which operates

in 64-bit double precision. It uses oating point arithmetic for all audio signal calculations to ensure the most

accurate results possible. All bass management lters, level adjustments and parametric lters also benet from

the added precision. To ensure the SSP-800 retains its value and competitive edge, the Classé Design Team has

designed the DSP onto a replaceable module to accommodate a planned future upgrade.
