Sigma SSP SURROUND SOUND PREAMP/PROCESSOR

THE CLASSE’ APP AVAILBLE THROUGH THE APP STORE
The Sigma SSP is a 7.1 channel
preamp/processor optimized for stereo but including HDMI switching,
multichannel processing and bass management. Its wide variety of input
connectors includes asynchronous USB and Ethernet for streaming, augmented by
coax and optical; balanced and single-ended analog inputs plus an optional
phono stage show how versatile this preamp/processor is despite its compact
size. A host of performance-oriented features including digital domain
tone/tilt control, and nine-band per channel parametric EQ ensure the best
performance with each recording in every room.
Modern
high-end audio systems tend to fall into one of two broad categories: stereo
and theater. But rarely are they used exclusively in those roles. Most have a
television display of some kind between stereo speakers or use the surround
sound system for playing music. Inevitably, each makes compromises as it tries
to accommodate the requirements of the other.
The Sigma SSP
is designed to build a bridge between these two categories, optimized as a
stereo preamp/processor but with HDMI switching and 7.1 channels of
high-performance multichannel processing included. The stereo preamp/processor
circuitry is derived from the latest generation Delta series CP-800, making the
Sigma SSP a stunning performer as a stereo preamp. Test bench measurements are
exceptional and suggest comparison with cost-no-object designs. Sonically the
Sigma SSP out-performs stereo preamps with stand-alone DACs, while offering
superb decoding of high-resolution formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD
Master Audio.
A variety of connection
options supports virtually any source optimally: Stream audio asynchronously
from
a computer, storage device or the Internet via the Sigma SSP’s Ethernet
connection. The Sigma SSP supports both AirPlay and DLNA streaming. Front and
rear panel USB connections support asynchronous streaming from computers and
iOS devices. Eight HDMI inputs (including one on the front panel) provide the
optimum path for Blu- ray players, games and set-top boxes while simplifying
system connections. The Audio Return Channel lets YouTube, Netflix and other
online sources decoded at your display play through the Sigma SSP by using the
HDMI connection between them. Coax and optical are provided for those sources
lacking the HDMI option.
DSP options for improving
performance are available to all sources. Bass management, a nine-band
Parametric EQ and digital domain Tone Control with our Tilt feature ensure that
the system can be optimized for your speak- ers and room, and every source
sounds its best. An optional phono stage with custom loading may be fitted to
accommodate MM and MC cartridges.
The Sigma SSP owes its
outstanding performance and value to the unique engineering and manufacturing
capa- bilities of Classé in Montréal and the B&W Group globally. No other
high-end audio designers have access to the resources necessary to deliver such
a product at such
a competitive price. The
Sigma SSP has been conceived and built as an example of quality and value
without peer. It will stand as the seminal reference in the preamp/pro- cessor
category for many years to come.
