Classe Audio SSP-800, Руководство пользователя

with each band adjustable in 1 Hz steps from 1 Hz to 200 Hz, then 10 Hz steps from
200 Hz to 2 kHz, and 100 Hz steps from 2 kHz to 20 kHz. You can also adjust
individual speaker levels (volume) and enter the distance to each speaker. So, it’s not
as sophisticated as the auto room correction circuits in other products, but it is also
one less step in digital processing that can induce distortion. Frankly, I am on the
fence about automated room correction. In general, I like the results, but sometimes,
when I change the furniture and run the Auto EQ function, the results are not quite
what I expect, so I re-run the program using di
ff erent microphone placement, and re-
run it again if I have to, in order to end up with something that sounds pleasant. I
have to say at this point that the Classé, even with no EQ added at all, sounds better
than any processor – with Auto EQ – that I have ever encountered. I may take the
time to tweak the EQ at some point, just to make the sound more laid back, because
my aging hearing likes it that way, but that is a personal preference, and it would not
be a flat response.
Below is a series of screen shots illustrating the main menu and sub-menus.
The first one is what you see while using the SSP-800. You can select the source (for
me that is the Blu-ray player – Input 1, and the HDTV cable box – Input 2). The Mode
button accesses the available playback/surround modes. Touching the Video Preview
button will bring up whatever video signal is passing through, and the Controls
button gives you access to Configurations (di
ff erent speaker combinations or
configurations of levels and subwoofer settings) and the System Trims, which is a
second set of volume controls that allows you to adjust individual channels’ volume
levels for the particular program you are watching. This defaults back to 0
adjustment when you change sources, or turn the SSP-800 o
ff . The reason for this is
that as part of the setup, you are able to listen to some white noise in each channel
and adjust the volume of each speaker so that it is whatever you want it to be at the
listening position. So, by using the Trims to adjust a channel(s) volume when
watching a particular program, this does not disturb the calibrated volume control
settings.
