Initial Setup

Your new Classé amplifier is quite simple to set up and enjoy. Please fol-
low the steps outlined below in order to safely set up and use your new
amplifier.
The AC mains connection should be the last connection
you make on your new power amplifier. In addition, it is
always a good idea to power up your power amplifier(s)
last, after everything else has been powered up and has
stabilized.
Conversely, it is good practice to power the amplifier(s)
down first when shutting down the system, as this
prevents any transients from other components from
getting through to your loudspeakers.
1 Unpack everything according to the included instructions.
Be careful when doing so, as this amplifier is quite heavy.
2 Place your amplifier (be sure to read "Unpacking and
Placement") and connect it to the AC mains.
This includes deciding on the location, making sure your have ad-
equate ventilation, and adequate clearance for all the wires behind
the amplifier. Once accomplished, connect the amplifier directly to
the AC mains. Do not use extension cords, as most are not suitable
for the current sometimes required by your amplifier.
3 Configure your amplifier.
The select and mode buttons are used when configuring your am-
plifier for how you would like it to operate.
While in standby, clicking the select button will cause the channel
LED to light up, indicating how the amplifier is currently config-
ured (either balanced or single-ended).
The channel LED indicator will be blinking, indicating that you
may select either balanced or single-ended operation for your am-
plifier. Click the mode button to toggle between either the bal-
anced mode or the single-ended mode of operation, indicated by
one of the two channel LEDs remaining on.
To finish, click the select button again.
