Phono Gain; Triggers; Max Volume - Classe Audio CP-500 - V2.4 Owner's Manual

phono gain

The phono gain menu is only active if the optional phono module is installed;
otherwise it is grayed out. When it is installed, the CP-500 will automatically recognize
it, rename the line 1 input to phono, and activate the input on the main menu.
Setting the phono gain is simple enough: choose low gain for most moving magnet
cartridges, and for high output moving coil cartridges; choose high gain for low output
moving coil cartridges. Your Classé dealer can assist you in determining what type of
cartridge you have, and which setting is most appropriate.

triggers

Each of the CP-500's trigger outputs may be programmed as to its "logic level," which
is to say, whether its voltage is low (essentially 0V), or high (approximately 12V) when
the trigger is activated. The ability to change the logic level of a trigger's "on" state can
solve installation-specific problems that otherwise require external devices that add to
both the cost and complexity of your system.
If this seems an obscure point, that's okay. It is a feature designed to solve problems you
may not even have, but your installation professional appreciates being able to easily
solve such problems when they occur.

max volume

The max volume screen allows you to establish a maximum volume setting for your
system. This scale runs from 0 to 100, with 100 indicating that you do not want any
artificial limit placed on the maximum gain your preamplifier can provide.
This setting is interactive. You can set the value to something less than 100, and then
adjust the volume to see whether it is appropriate.
