Classe Audio CA-2200 Stereo Amplifier User Manual

If bi-wiring, run a total of four conductors between each amplifi er channel
and its corresponding loudspeaker: two separate +/– leads, one for the
bass and the other for the mids and treble. Make sure that no wires cross
between the red (+) and black (–) terminals, at either end.
Make sure all the connections are snug and cannot be easily wiggled free,
but do not overtighten them. If you can give the speaker wires a reasonable
tug without movement, they are snug. Further tightening will not make a
better connection, and (taken to the extreme) may damage the connectors.
6. Double-check all your connections.
We understand that this step sounds redundant, but it is worth the extra
minute or two it might take just to ensure that all connections are correct
and secure before plugging the power cables to the AC outlets.
7. Turn on all the other components in your system, and then
turn on your amplifier.
It is always good practice to turn any power amplifi er on last, and to turn
it off rst. Doing so prevents any turn-on/turn-off transients that might
originate in other components from damaging your loudspeakers.
CAN-Bus Classé’s Controller Area Network, or CAN-Bus, opens the way to a new level
of interaction between our Delta range of amplifi ers, preamps, processors and
source components. When the CA-2200 is connected with CAN-Bus, the
diff erent elements of a Delta series system are in constant communication,
creating a “global” network that delivers system wide status information and
shared operational features, all through the touchscreen display.
features CAN-Bus will allow a single Delta series touchscreen to:
Display status information for every connected unit, including
amplifi ers which do not have a touchscreen display.
Create a “PlayLink” that allows an SSP or Preamp to automatically
switch to the correct input when a Delta series source component
starts playback.
Adjust the global system brightness.
• Confi gure the entire system to go in and out of standby at the
touch of a button and also bring individual components in and
out of standby.
Mute any connected unit.
