Unpacking and Placement

Carefully unpack your integrated amplifier according to the supplied instructions, and remove all accessories from the carton.

Keep all packing materials for future transport of your Classé product. Shipping your new component in anything other than its purpose-designed packing material may result in damage that is not covered by the warranty.

As with any integrated amplifier, it is best to place the CAP-2100 centrally within your system, since it is the hub to which all other components are connected. It should also be located at a convenient height for both visibility and use, since you generally interact with your integrated amplifier more than any other component (changing inputs, adjusting volume, etc.).

Note that adequate clearance for the AC cord and connecting cables must be left behind the CAP-2100. We suggest leaving eight inches (20 cm) of free space behind your integrated amplifier to allow all cables sufficient room to bend without crimping or undue strain.

Classé recommends that the unit not be placed directly on the top surface of a power amplifier (or any other heat source).

Your Classé integrated amplifier generates a certain amount of heat in the course of normal operation. Be sure to allow six inches of clearance above it and three inches to each side to allow heat dissipation through air circulation. Avoid placement on soft surfaces that would restrict airflow (such as plush carpeting).

Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and custom cabinetry (see the section Dimensions). An optional, purpose-designed rack mount kit is available for this product. Contact your Classé dealer for more information.
