No record in/out in the CP800....you are right. You can feed a signal from any source into a another preamp or recording device at full signal like I mentioned but its a fair point to say its not identical to record out function.

Classe's SSP 800 and CT SSP surround processors do have a second zone which serves as a record out...I use each of these in separate rooms...and one is the source for the whole house sound system. And while these are great processors they do not have the USB functionality of the CP800 which is incredible.

The record monitor/record out feature seems to be fading in some of the new preamps...even the ARC preamps have downgraded that functionality...my Ref 2 has a separate selector for record out...while my Ref 5 SE and Ref 40 lose the separate record selector

Mike...I switch from using the CP800 with an ARC VS115, Classe CA 2200 or directly into my Stax Omega energizer

I also use a CA2200 and CA3200 combo with the SSP800 for our family room. Other than the expensive DVD player...I find the Classe gear to provide a high level of sound quality and value at a reasonable price

Jim...great forum...can't argue with the value...

Agree! The benefits of a membership make it even better.

Have you done any room correction or calibration with the SSP-800?

Do you know if the SSP-800 requires a windows PC to run the updates? I only own a Mac computer. Thanks.

The only calibration I have done is having my dealer set up at Dolby reference levels with a SPL meter. In the room with the CT SSP. I have a pair of JBL 212s running off the LFE channel and I did run its built in calibration with the mic.

The family room uses a Thiel SS2 and powerpoints and used a SPL meter only


I have not updated to HDMI 1.4 which was a software/hardware change. Since I bought the SSP 800when it came out....I did have software change done but dealer did it for me. I also have all Mac in the house but run VMware Fusion
