Unpacking and Placement
unpacking
your preamplifier
Carefully unpack your preamplifi er according to the supplied instructions, and
remove all accessories from the carton.
Important! Keep all packing materials for future transport of your
Classé product. Shipping your new component in anything
other than its purpose-designed packing material may
result in damage that is not covered by the warranty.
placement As with any preamplifi er, it is best to place the CP-700 centrally within your
system, since it is the hub to which all other components are connected. It
should also be located at a convenient height for both visibility and use, since
you generally interact with your preamplifi er more than any other component
(changing inputs, adjusting volume, etc.).
Note that adequate clearance for the AC cord and connecting cables
must be left behind the CP-700. We suggest leaving eight inches
(20 cm) of free space behind your preamplifi er to allow all cables
suffi cient room to bend without crimping or undue strain.
Classé recommends that the unit not be placed directly on the top surface of a
power amplifi er (or any other heat source).
ventilation Your Classé preamplifi er generates a certain amount of heat in the course of
normal operation. Be sure to allow three inches of clearance above it and three
inches to each side to allow heat dissipation through air circulation. Avoid
placement on soft surfaces that would restrict airfl ow (such as plush carpeting).
custom installations Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and
custom cabinetry (see the section Dimensions). An optional, purpose-designed
rack mount kit is available for this product. Contact your Classé dealer for more
information.
serial number e serial number for your preamplifi er is found on the rear of the unit. Please
note and record this number on the page entitled Important Safety Instructions
for your future reference.
