Page 4: Unpacking & Set-Up
UNPACKING & SET-UP Your CLASSÉ CP-45 preamplifier has been carefully wrapped in heavy gauge plastic, packed in semi-rigid foam and contained in a special box. To remove the unit, open and spread the top flaps of the box. By its sides, lift out the entire unit with foam pieces intact. Remove each foam side by pulling straight out. -
Page 5: A.c. Line Power
A.C. LINE POWER The Classé CP-45 preamplifier has no power switch. Its low power consumption and improved sonics from always being ON led to the omission of an ON/OFF switch. In fact, while thoroughly musical shortly after turn-on, the preamplifier will exhibit "sonic growth" during its first 300 hours of use. -
Page 6: Inputs
INPUTS: The input jacks are clearly marked on the back of the CP-45. The following inputs are provided: PHONO/AUX, VIDEO, CD, TUNER, BALANCED, and TAPE. PHONO/AUX The CP-45 preamplifier can be configured as a PHONO unit by installing the optional internal phono board onto the main board. - Page 7 PHONO INPUT: When switched to PHONO the input can accommodate both magnetic and moving coil cartridges of various outputs. In the MC position, gain of the Moving Coil stage is factory preset at 16dB which matches perfectly with most typical MC cartridges. With the resistor kit included, the gain can be adjusted to 18dB, 23dB, or 28dB, in order to optimize system gain, and lower noise while using other less typical MC cartridges.
- Page 8 TAPE IN The TAPE IN of the CP-45 preamplifier should be connected to the LINE OUT or TAPE OUT of the tape deck. The TAPE input does not appear on the selector switch. It is activated by the TAPE switch. (See FRONT PANEL CONTROLS: TAPE SWITCH.)

Page 12: Outputs
Having confirmed the correct connections, plug the XLR connectors of the balanced interconnects into the locking XLR connector on the rear of the CP-45 marked BALANCED OUTPUT. (To remove the connectors, press the tab above the connector.) -
Page 13: Front Panel Controls
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS INPUT SELECTOR: This selects one of the five inputs connected to the preamplifier, except TAPE IN (see TAPE SWITCH below). The selector switch is silent and will prevent pulses when switching positions. However, it remains good practice to reduce the volume control level or put MUTE to ON (steady GREEN LED) when changing the input selection. - Page 14 Switching between PLAY and MUTE can be done by either pushing the MUTE button on the CP-45 faceplate or on the hand held remote control unit. The PLAY (or MUTE OFF) and MUTE ON selections are indicated by the STEADY RED or GREEN LED respectively at the preamp.
