Insert the linecord into the A.C. receptacle on the rear of the unit. PLEASE MAKE SURE

YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY HOOKED UP THE SPEAKERS AND PREAMPLIFIER TO YOUR AMPLIFIER BEFORE CONNECTING THE AC POWER CORD TO THE AMPLIFIER.

CAUTION: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DISCONNECT AC LINE CABLE WHILE MAKING ALL CONNECTIONS. "FLOATING THE

GROUND", OR DEFEATING THE GROUND ON A 3-PRONG LINECORD MAY CREATE

A SHOCK HAZARD. CONNECT ALL INTERCONNECT CABLES BETWEEN THE ELECTRONICS BEFORE CONNECTING THE A.C. LINECORDS TO THE WALL OUTLETS. THIS WILL REDUCE THE POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD.

Input and output connectors are clearly marked on the back of the amplifier. Use only high quality interconnect and loudspeaker cables, and make all connections tight. If the RCA input plugs are loose, remove them and pinch down the ground leaves slightly with pliers. Observe correct phasing of the loudspeaker connections, and tighten.

Caution:

1)Do not over tighten the output connectors as this can result to damage your unit.

2)Do not use speaker system that has common ground with this amplifier.

The Classe Audio CAM-200 is a distinguished model in the high-performance amplifiers category, renowned for its exceptional sound quality and robust engineering. Known for its sleek aesthetics and powerful performance, the CAM-200 epitomizes Classe's commitment to delivering an unparalleled audio experience.

One of the main features of the CAM-200 is its Class AB amplification, which combines the benefits of both Class A and Class B designs. This unique configuration allows the amplifier to produce high power levels while maintaining low distortion, ensuring a clean and dynamic sound across the frequency spectrum. With an output of 200 watts per channel at 8 ohms, and the capability to drive lower impedance loads, the CAM-200 is versatile enough to handle a wide range of speakers with ease.

Another standout characteristic of the CAM-200 is its fully balanced design, which significantly reduces noise and interference, leading to a more refined sound. This approach is crucial in high-end audio systems where signal integrity is paramount. The balanced circuitry works harmoniously with both single-ended and balanced input sources, providing flexibility in system configurations.

The CAM-200 also features advanced thermal management systems, including high-quality heat sinks and efficient power supplies. This not only enhances reliability but also allows the amplifier to maintain optimal performance even during extended listening sessions at high volumes. The low noise floor of the CAM-200 contributes to its ability to resolve intricate details in music, bringing out nuances that might otherwise be lost in inferior designs.

Additionally, the build quality of the CAM-200 reflects Classe’s dedication to excellence, as it is constructed with premium materials and finishes. The rugged chassis provides excellent isolation from outside interference, while the minimalist design philosophy ensures that form complements function.

In conclusion, the Classe Audio CAM-200 is more than just an amplifier—it's a gateway to an extraordinary audio experience. With its Class AB amplification, fully balanced design, and robust build quality, it caters to the discerning audiophile seeking depth, clarity, and power in their sound systems. Whether used in a dedicated listening room or as part of a comprehensive home theater setup, the CAM-200 is poised to deliver a listening experience that is both immersive and engaging.
