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.
