• Contact AtlasIED for instructions on cleaning the inside of the unit. Large accumulations of dust inside the unit may result in heat buildup and fire. • Ensure that the power supply plug is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Never allow dust to accumulate on the power plug or inside the wall outlet.
Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the AtlasIED CLA Series amplifier. The CLA Series is a high-power amplifier designed for versatility, suitable for both commercial 25V/70V/100V distributed systems and professional applications requiring amplification for low impedance loads like 4Ω or 8Ω. Notably compact and lightweight compared to similar-performing models, the CLA Series incorporates Class D Output topology, offering the efficiency of a Class AB amplifier without compromising on sound quality.
The cooling system of the CLA Series includes an idle mode with convection cooling and variable-speed fan assist cooling during amplification. Notably, the design of the CLA Series is such that air filters are not necessary. However, in environments with high levels of dust or dirt, occasional cleaning may be required to ensure optimal performance.
The amplifiers feature an IEC-600320-C14 receptacle and come with a detachable 1.8-meter 14-gauge NEMA 5-15 power cord. Insert the IEC connector of the power cord into the IEC receptacle of the CLA Series amplifier, ensuring it is securely connected. For non-North American applications, refer to local electrical code requirements to select the appropriate power cord.
5. Remote Level Control Port To enable remote control of the level on the CLA Series, you can use the Remote Level Control port. This control port operates on a 10KΩ based system, and it is recommended to use the optional AtlasIED WPD-VC10K wall control for this purpose. Follow these guidelines for proper setup: Recommended Control - It is recommended to use the optional AtlasIED WPD-VC10K wall control.
CLA Series Owner’s Manual Rear Panel 7. Amplifier Load Configuration Switches - IMPORTANT! The CLA Amp series provides flexibility in configuring load requirements, allowing independent load selections for each channel. Each channel can be configured for 2Ω, 4Ω, 8Ω, 25V, 70V, and 100V loads. Two Dip Switches dedicated to each specific channel are used for configuring the amplifier channels’...

An unbalanced line is generally a single-conductor shielded cable with the center conductor carrying the signal and the shield at ground potential. Balanced Input - AtlasIED recommends using either 20-gauge or 22-gauge two-conductor wire with shield for low level signals. Maintain the proper polarity, (+) to (+), (–) to (–), and shield to ground.
1. Never plug a CLA Series amplifier into a circuit without knowing what other products are connected to the same circuit. 2. Never plug a CLA Series amplifier into a power strip. Always connect directly to a dedicated circuit wall receptacle. Power strips are not designed to deliver high amounts of continuous or peak current.
Rack Kit Installation The CLA Series amplifier can be rack mounted as a single amp or side by side with any other AtlasIED ½ rack model. All parts to rack mount single or two amps are included with the CLA amp. Depending on the rack mounting method there may be extra part left; disregard them. Follow the illustrations below for kit assembly.
