Initial Setup
Your new Classé amplifier is quite simple to set up and enjoy. Please follow the
steps outlined below in order to safely set up and use your new amplifier.
Important: The AC mains connection should be the last connection you
make on your new power amplifier. In addition, it is always
a good idea to power up your power amplifier(s) last, after
everything else has been powered up and has stabilized.
.
Conversely, it is good practice to power the amplifier(s) down
first when shutting down the system, as this prevents any
transients from other components from getting through to
your loudspeakers.
1. Unpack everything according to the included instructions.
Be careful when doing so, as this amplifier is quite heavy.
2. Place your amplifier (be sure to read “Unpacking and Placement”)
and connect it to the AC mains.
This includes deciding on the location, making sure you have adequate
ventilation, and adequate clearance for all the wires behind the amplifier.
Once accomplished, connect the amplifier directly to the AC mains. Do
not use extension cords, as most are not suitable for the current sometimes
required by your amplifier.
3. Configure your amplifier.
The Select and Mode buttons are used when configuring your amplifier
for how you would like it to operate.
configuring balanced/
single-ended operation
While in standby, pressing the Select button will cause the Channel LEDs
to light up, indicating how the amplifier is currently configured (either
balanced or single-ended) for each channel.
One of the
Channel LED indicators will be blinking, indicating that you
may select either balanced or single-ended operation for that channel. Press
the Mode button to toggle between either the balanced mode or the single-
ended mode of operation, as indicated by which of the two channel LEDs
for that channel is blinking.
Press the Select button again to select the next channel, and repeat the pro
-
cess until the amplifier is configured as you desire. To finish, continue to
press and release the Select
button until all the Channel LEDs are off.
Make sure you configure the amplifier to use the type of input connection
you will be using for each channel. You may safely use any combination of
single-ended and balanced input connections your system requires.
