UNPACKING & SET-UP
Your CLASSÉ CA-150 power amplifier is packed in high density, semi-rigid foam placed in a special
cardboard box. To remove the unit, open and spread all the top flaps of the box and by its sides, lift out
the entire unit and put it on a large flat surface. Take it out of the plastic bag and inspect the unit for any
concealed damage. Apart from this owner's manual, please ensure the following has also been included:
1) Detachable linecord
2) Allen key for top plate
Please report any damage or missing parts to your dealer as soon as possible.
Place the CA-150 at or near its final set-up position, allowing 8 inches at the rear for tightening the
speaker output connectors. For optimum sonic performance, we recommend the optional CLASSÉ
REFERENCE A.C. LINECORD. Consult your dealer regarding this accessary.
The power transformer in the CA-150 is located at the front-center of the unit. Ideally, a few feet should
separate this area from components which potentially could pick up hum. These include preamplifiers,
turntables, and interconnect cables. In terms of providing adequate airspace for cooling, a good rule of
thumb is to allow 6 inches above and 3 inches on each side of the unit.
Check the Serial Number sticker on the back of the unit for the correct operating voltage.
The CA-150 has only one fuse, the rating of which should be as follows:
LINE VOLTAGE FUSE RATING
100 or 120 V.A.C. 6 AMP FAST BLOW
125 or 250 volts
220 or 240 V.A.C. 4 AMP FAST BLOW
250 volts
