Please complete the card now, before you forget. operating voltage Th e CA-5200 power amplifi er is set at the factory (internally) for 100V, 120V, 220V, 230V, or 240V AC mains operation, as appropriate for the country in which it is to be sold (230V only in European Union countries, in compliance with CE regulations). -
Page 8: Warm Up/Break-In Period
Th e CA-5200 includes protection circuitry that will prevent the amplifi 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 amplifi... -
Page 9: Special Design Features
Special Design Features highly refined All Classé analog amplifi 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 refi... -

Rear Panel Th e following descriptions are intended as a quick reference, should you have any questions about your new product. Please see the next section (entitled Initial Setup) for specifi c advice on incorporating your new amplifi er into your system. - Page 14 Th e 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 Th ese pin assignments are consistent with the standard adopted by the Audio Engineering Society (AES14-1992).
- Page 15 IR Input and Output Your Classé amplifi er includes two 8 th -inch mini mono-jacks in order to support the IR remote controls that are ubiquitous today. IR commands exist for toggling the amplifi er between operate and standby, as well as discrete command codes for either operate or standby.

Page 17: Initial Setup
Initial Setup Your new Classé amplifi 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 amplifi er. Important: The AC mains connection should be the last connection you make on your new power amplifier. -
Page 18: Configuring Amplifier Turn-On Delay/Amp No
configuring amplifier In a system that contains multiple Classé amplifi ers, you may set the turn-on delay/amp no. number of seconds of turn-on delay for each amplifi er, allowing each to turn on in the order you have specifi ed, rather than all at once. Th is number also acts as an ID when using the CAN-Bus. -
Page 19: Can-Bus
CAN-Bus Classé’s Controller Area Network, or CAN-Bus, opens the way to a new level of interaction between our Delta range of amplifi ers, preamps, processors and source components. When the CA-5200 is connected with CAN-Bus, the diff erent elements of a Delta series system are in constant communication, creating a “global”... -
