A.c. Line Power - Classe Audio CP-40 Owner's Manual

A.C. LINE POWER

The Classé CP-40 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.
For optimum sonic performance, you should consider the use of the optional
. Consult your dealer regarding this accessory.
A.C. LINECORD
SAFETY FEATURE:
The CP-40 preamplifier is designed with an auto-muting circuit which engages and is indicated
by a FLASHING GREEN LED when the unit is first connected, or after an AC power failure. After 15
seconds the STEADY GREEN LED signals that the unit is in STANDBY mode (Note: MUTE is ON
during STANDBY mode).
This feature will prevent any turn-on surges or unstable output from reaching the power
amplifier and possibly the loudspeakers. Similarly, make sure the MUTE is ON (STEADY GREEN)
again when removing A.C. line power.
CAUTION:
DISCONNECT AC LINE CABLE WHILE MAKING ALL CONNECTIONS. "FLOATING THE GROUND"
OR DEFEATING THE GROUND ON A 3-PRONG LINECORD MAY CREATE A SHOCK
CONNECT ALL INTERCONNECT CABLES BETWEEN THE ELECTRONICS BEFORE
A.C. LINECORDS TO THE WALL OUTLETS. THIS WILL REDUCE THE POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD. SEE
