Welcome to the Classé family Congratulations on your purchase of a Classé product. It is the result of many years of continuous re–nement, and we are sure that you will enjoy it for many years to come. We value our relationship with our customers. Please allow us to stay in touch with you by returning your warranty card now, before you pack up the shipping carton of your new product and forget all about it.
Unpacking and Placement unpacking your amplifier Carefully unpack your power ampli–er according to the supplied instructions, and remove all accessories from the carton. Please take care when lifting the ampli–er, as it is quite heavy. Important! Keep all packing materials for future transport of your Classé...
custom installations Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and custom cabinetry (see the section Dimensions). An optional, purpose-designed rack mount kit is available for this product. Contact your Classé dealer for more information. serial number The serial number for your power ampli–er is found on the rear of the unit. Please note and record this number on the page entitled Important Safety Instructions for your future reference.
The CA-2200 includes protection circuitry that will prevent the ampli–er from operating at dangerously high or low voltages. • At startup: the AC mains voltage must be within a range of approximately -15% to +10% of its nominal value at startup, or the ampli–er will not turn on.
Special Design Features highly refined All Classé analog ampli–cation stages are based on circuits that have been circuit design extensively optimized over many years of continuous development. By starting with excellent circuit designs and working with them over the years, we are able to discover the many small re–nements that add up to superlative performance, in a variety of applications.
extraordinary longevity Another bene–t of having worked with highly re–ned circuit designs so extensively over many years is that we have vast experience in what works well over the long term. By using only the highest quality parts to begin with, and then using them in an informed way as a result of both accelerated aging experiments and actual long- term experience, we are able to design and manufacture products which we are con–dent will stand the test of time.
Front Panel Standby button & LED indicator The front panel Standby button will toggle the ampli–er between operate, its fully operational state, and a standby mode that leaves the ampli–er off, yet ready to respond to system commands via any of the supported control options (e.g.

Also, it is a good practice to physically disconnect any and all valuable electronics from the AC mains during electrical storms, as a lightning strike anywhere near your home can put a tremendous surge on the AC mains that can easily damage any piece of electronics, no matter how well designed and protected.

For this reason, we strongly recommend using the balanced analog interconnections between your Classé components wherever possible. The pin assignments of these XLR input connectors are: Pin 1: Signal ground Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting) Pin 3: Signal √ (inverting) Connector ground lug: chassis ground These pin assignments are consistent with the standard adopted by the Audio Engineering Society (AES14-1992).

(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...

DC Trigger Input and Output Many audio/video preampli–ers can supply a DC control voltage to associated equipment in order to induce desired behavior. Your Classé ampli–er can take advantage of these capabilities in order to be switched between operate and standby automatically, perhaps in concert with the A/V preamp itself.

Danger! Potentially dangerous voltages and current capabilities exist within your power amplifier, even when disconnected from AC mains. Do not attempt to open any portion of the amplifier’s cabinet. There are no user-serviceable parts inside your power amplifier. All service of this product must be referred to a qualified Classé...
Initial Setup Your new Classé ampli–er is quite simple to set up and enjoy. Please follow the steps outlined below in order to safely set up and use your new ampli–er. Important: The AC mains connection should be the last connection you make on your new power amplifier.
configuring amplifier In a system that contains multiple Classé ampli–ers, you may set the turn-on delay/amp no. number of seconds of turn-on delay for each ampli–er, allowing each to turn on in the order you have speci–ed, rather than all at once. This number also acts as an ID when using the CAN Bus.
Double-check all your connections. We understand that this step sounds redundant, but it is worth the extra minute or two it might take just to ensure that all connections are correct and secure before plugging the power cables to the AC outlets.. Turn on all the other components in your system, and then turn on your amplifier.
Troubleshooting In general, you should refer any service problems to your Classé dealer. Before contacting your dealer, however, please check to see if the problem is listed here. No sound, and no Channel LED is lit. • The ampli–er is not plugged into the AC mains, or the AC mains are down (circuit breaker, fuse).

The AC mains fuse is blown. There is a speci–c troubleshooting procedure for a blown AC mains fuse, since this rare occurrence sometimes indicates a signi–cant problem. Please follow the following steps, in order: a. Disconnect your ampli–er from the AC mains, as well as from its input connections and speaker connections, and remove the fuse cover on the rear of the unit.
