  • Page 4: Unpacking & Set-Up

    U NPACKING & SET-UP Your CLASSÉ C-151 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 C-151 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

    I NPUTS: The input jacks are clearly marked on the back of the C-151. The following inputs are provided: AUX, VIDEO, CD, TUNER, BALANCED, and TAPE. AUX INPUT: When selected, the AUX input serves as an additional high level input, accommodating additional sources such as VIDEO, CD, TUNER, etc..
  • Page 7: Outputs

    Having confirmed the correct connections, plug the XLR connectors of the balanced interconnects into the locking XLR connector on the rear of the C-151 marked BALANCED OUTPUT. (To remove the connectors, press the tab above the connector.)
