Introduction
Welcome to the Primare SP31.7 Multi-Channel Processor! This chapter introduces you to its key
features, and explains how you can take advantage of its configurability to create a system
perfectly suited to your requirements.
WELCOME TO THE SP31.7 MULTI-CHANNEL
PROCESSOR
The SP31.7 provides a comprehensive range of features to
make it ideal as the heart of an unparalleled music or home
entertainment system:
Exceptional processing performance
The SP31.7 uses proprietary DSP circuitry developed by
Primare, providing better analog performance than the
current off-the-shelf circuits used in many other surround
processors, resulting in a very high standard of multi-channel
audio reproduction. The SP31.7 provides up to 192kHz/
24 bit processing to accommodate all the current
multi-channel audio formats and allow for expansion as new
formats are introduced.
Flexible range of inputs
The SP31.7 provides a range of inputs flexible enough to
cater for virtually any combination of sources including:
seven analog RCA inputs, one analog XLR input, five coaxial
digital inputs, two TOSlink optical digital inputs, and one
AES/EBU digital input.
Video switching
The SP31.7 provides two component video inputs, three
S-Video inputs and four composite video inputs, allowing you
to switch up to nine audio-visual sources.
Digital Surround Processing
The SP31.7 can decode multi-channel sources encoded in the
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital (AC-3), or DTS formats to
provide eight discrete output channels for up to eight
loudspeakers in a surround system. The SP31.7 provides a
wide range of processing options to allow you to choose the
ideal mode for each type of material, including Dolby Pro
Logic II, an improved version of Dolby Pro Logic, and several
new processing modes designed to provide superb results
with eight-channel systems from Dolby Digital and DTS
encoded materials.
Multi-channel analog input
In addition to decoding encoded multi-channel sources, the
SP31.7 provides a discrete eight-channel analog input for a
DVD audio or SACD player that provides a multi-channel
output.
Full configurability
The SP31.7 is fully configurable from either the front panel or
remote control, using a simple set of on-screen menus, to
allow you to set it up with the exact combination of sources
and outputs that you want to use for your own system. The
SP31.7 is supplied already set up with a standard set of
sources, designed to cater for the most usual combination of
inputs and outputs in a typical system, but you can modify
these or define your own sources with total flexibility.
Intuitive user interface
In keeping with the philosophy of the Primare range of
systems, the SP31.7’s powerful range of features can be
controlled through a very simple and intuitive interface,
designed so that it will not distract you from the pleasure of
listening to music or watching movies on your system.
In fact almost all the features of the SP31.7 can be accessed
through just two front panel controls and four push buttons;
alternatively the same degree of control is provided through
the C31 Remote Control supplied with the SP31.7.
