Unpacking and Placement

Carefully unpack your integrated amplifier according to the supplied
instructions, and remove all accessories from the carton.

connected. It should also be located at a convenient height for both visibility and
use, since you generally interact with your integrated amplifier more than any

Classé recommends that the unit not be placed directly on the top surface of a
power amplifier (or any other heat source).
