Positioning the Omega Monaural
Power Amplifier
For best performance, place your Omega Monaural
Power Amplifier on a solid, non-resonant surface.
Do not place the Omega Monaural Power Amplifier
directly on top of another component.

Place the Omega Monaural Power Amplifer near its
final set-up position, allowing 8 inches of clearance
at the rear for tightening the speaker output
connectors.
final set-up position, allowing 8 inches of clearance
at the rear for tightening the speaker output
connectors.
The power transformer in the Omega Monaural
Power Amplifier is located at the bottom of the
chassis and just behind the front plate. Ideally a few
feet should separate this area from any components
which are susceptible to hum. These include
preamplifers, turntables and interconnect cables.
Allow 6 inches above and on each side of the unit
to provide adequate cooling.

CONNECTIONS
AC power
Check that the AC voltage for which this unit is
configured matches your local AC line voltage. The
correct operating voltage is indicated on the rear of
the chassis, adjacent to the AC power inlet.
Operating this unit on AC voltage other than that
specified on the rear of the unit can damage or
destroy this unit and increase the risk of electric
shock.

Connect the AC power cord to the rear of the unit
and directly to an AC outlet – See Fig 1. For best
results, do not use extension cords or multiple-
outlet “power strips”. Also, do not disable the
ground pin as this can increase the risk of electric
shock.

Monaural Power Amplifier showing the live and
neutral pins. For optimum performance make sure
the pins maintain proper polarity.

Analog inputs
The Omega Monaural Power Amplifier has both
balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA) inputs – See
Fig 1. Both types of inputs have been carefully
optimized to give best possible performance.
However, the most realistic and natural sonic quality
is obtained by connecting the balanced outputs to
the balanced inputs on your amplifier.
The balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA) inputs
must be used separately. Ensure that your new
Omega Monaural Power Amplifier is OFF before
changing any connections. When the amplifier is
shipped from Classé there is a jumper between pins
1 and 3 of the balanced (XLR) inputs. To use your
amplifier in single-ended mode simply connect the
single-ended interconnects from the preamplifier to
the RCA inputs of your Omega Monaural Power
Amplifier. To use your amplifier in balanced mode,
remove the single-ended interconnects if attached.
Remove the jumper between pins 1 and 3 of the
balanced (XLR) input and save them for later use.

All Classé products share the same balanced (XLR)
pin out. Other manufacturers may use a different
balanced (XLR) pin out configuration. Please contact
the manufacturer if you wish to maintain absolute
phase throughout your system when connecting
Classé products with equipment from other
manufacturers.

Infrared (IR) input and output
The Omega Monaural Power Amplifier is equipped
with 1/8“ mini-plug connectors that allow the unit
to directly receive and transmit remote IR
commands. These connectors can be used with
equipment that receives IR commands and converts
them for transmission on copper wire. This is
especially useful for situations where the Omega
Monaural Power Amplifier is outside of the line-of-
sight of your listening location. Contact your Classé
dealer for information on installing and using
remote IR repeating equipment.
