The remote Fkey menu has four buttons, one each for the four Fkeys on your remote control. Pressing any of these buttons on the LCD touchscreen takes you to a subordinate, scrolling list of possible functions for that particular Fkey.

Selecting the one you want is as simple as scrolling through the list (by touching either the up or down arrows on the right), and then touching the specific function in the list that you want that Fkey to perform.

Note that all Classé remote controls provide these same four Fkeys, so that you need not worry about which remote you happen to pick up. Thus F1 on the preamplifier’s remote control sends the same infrared signal as F1 on the CD player’s remote control.

While this is intended to minimize confusion amongst different remotes (since this aspect of them will all perform identically), you should take care when assigning different functions on different components to the same Fkey. Doing so would result in two components doing two different things at once, in response to a single press of a button on the remote control. This can sometimes be useful. As an example, F1 could set the preamplifier to the CD input, and also set the CD player to Play, both from the press of a single Fkey.

The status screen provides several items of information about the current operation status of the CP-700, as well as access to information on the software used in and the internal sensors of the CP-700.

The version info button on the status screen takes you to the version information screen, which displays information on various pieces of software used by your CP-700. If you ever have occasion to call our technical support people to ask a question not covered in this manual, they may want to know precisely what version of software your unit is running. Having this information available will help enable them to give you the best possible service.

The sensors button on the status screen takes you to the sensors screen, which displays information about several internal sensors within the CP-700. It is unlikely you might ever need the sensor information, unless directed to do so by a customer service representative at Classé in order to help troubleshoot some unexpected problem.

cp-700 specifications

The Classe Audio CP-700 is a high-performance audio preamplifier that exemplifies the brand’s commitment to sound quality, design, and innovative technology. Tailored for audiophiles and music enthusiasts, the CP-700 combines superior build quality with advanced circuitry to deliver an immersive listening experience.

One of the standout features of the CP-700 is its robust digital processing capabilities. It includes a high-resolution DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) that supports audio formats up to 24-bit/192kHz. This ensures that every detail of the music is reproduced with outstanding clarity and precision. The preamplifier also boasts multiple digital inputs, including USB, coaxial, and optical, making it versatile enough to accommodate various audio sources.

The analog section of the CP-700 is equally impressive, featuring Classe's proprietary technologies that minimize noise and distortion. The preamplifier utilizes high-quality components and a carefully engineered circuit design that embraces a dual-mono architecture. This approach reduces crosstalk and enhances imaging, allowing listeners to experience a wider soundstage and more defined instrument placement.

Moreover, the CP-700 features a state-of-the-art volume control system. Rather than a traditional potentiometer, Classe employs a digitally controlled analog attenuator, providing precise volume adjustments without compromising the audio quality. Users can expect smooth and seamless changes in volume levels, enhancing user experience during playback.

In terms of usability, the Classe CP-700 offers an intuitive interface, with a large, bright display and a user-friendly remote control. The preamp can also be controlled via an app, adding convenience for modern users who prefer controlling their audio systems through mobile devices.

Another notable characteristic is its elegant design. The CP-700 features a sleek aluminum chassis with a minimalist aesthetic that fits well in various home theater or music room setups. This careful attention to design aligns with Classe Audio’s philosophy of marrying form with function.

In conclusion, the Classe Audio CP-700 preamplifier stands out for its high-resolution audio capabilities, advanced volume control, and exceptional build quality. It is an ideal choice for discerning listeners who seek an unparalleled audio experience without compromising on features or aesthetics. With its combination of digital and analog prowess, the CP-700 represents the pinnacle of modern audio engineering.
