Classe CT-2300 Two-Channel 用户手册

(Many high quality loudspeakers also offer two sets of connections on their

speakers. Generally, one set of the connections on the loudspeaker feeds the

portion of the speaker’s crossover network that supplies the woofer with its

signal; the other set of connections connects to the portion of the crossover that

supplies the rest of the speaker with the midrange and high frequencies.)

Although the binding posts on your Classé amplifier will accept bare wire

connections, we strongly recommend the use of high quality spade or hook

lugs, crimped and soldered onto the ends of your speaker wires. Using

high quality connectors will ensure that your speaker connections do not

gradually deteriorate from fraying and oxidizing bare wires. It also helps

prevent accidental short-circuits from poorly-terminated connections.

Classé CAN-Bus Control Ports

These RJ-45 connectors are reserved for control and communication

applications using Classé Audio’s implementation of the Controller Area

Network (CAN) Bus specification. Refer to the CAN-Bus section located

later in this manual for more information.

IR Input and Output

Your Classé amplifier includes two

8th

-inch mini mono-jacks in order to

support the IR remote controls that are ubiquitous today. IR commands

exist for toggling the amplifier between operate and standby, as well as

discrete command codes for either operate or standby. These codes may be

used in “macros” for sophisticated remote control systems, facilitating the

control of the amplifier in the larger context of a complete system.

Actually, this IR Input and Output description is a bit of a misnomer: the

input supplied to these plugs is electrical in nature, not IR. It is obtained by

using standard IR receivers, distribution amplifiers, and emitters (available

from your dealer) to translate the remote’s flashes of infrared light into

corresponding pulses of electricity. The big advantages here include being

able to easily route the signals anywhere they might need to go, and the

reliability of a solid electrical connection.

Since an IR distribution system such as your dealer may design for you

usually must control many products, your amplifier includes both an IR

input (for the control of this product) and an IR output (so as to pass

along the same signal to the next product). This allows you to “daisy chain”

your control wires from one product to the next.

The amplifier is designed to respond to IR commands of 5 Volts DC, with

the tip of the mini-plugs defined to be “positive” relative to the shank of

the plug.
