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 one of the Channel
LEDs to light up, indicating how the amplifier is currently configured
(either balanced or single-ended).
One of the Channel LED indicators will be blinking, indicating that you
may select either balanced or single-ended operation for your amplifier.
Press the Mode button to toggle between either the balanced or the single-
ended mode of operation, as indicated by which of the two
Channel
LEDs is blinking.
To finish, press and release the Select button until both Channel LEDs are
off.
Make sure you configure the amplifier to use the type of input connection
you will be using.
