7RS-232 Control Port

This DB-9 connector has two purposes:

downloading new operating software into your amplifier (should new features ever be added, for example)

for external control of your amplifier by systems such as i-Command, AMX® and Crestron

For more information, please contact your dealer and ask about home automation systems.

8AC Mains Input

An IEC standard power cord is used with the CA-5200. Plug the cord into the IEC receptacle on the rear panel, and the other end into a suitable wall outlet.

9AC Mains Fuse

Your Classé power amplifier has an AC mains fuse, accessible on the rear panel. If you suspect that your AC fuse has blown, disconnect your amplifier from the AC mains, as well as from its input connections and speaker connections, and refer to the appropriate item of the section enitled Troubleshooting.

Do not open your amplifier. There are no user-serviceable parts within this product.

Potentially dangerous voltages and current capabilities exist within your power amplifier, even when disconnected from AC mains. Do not attempt to open any portion of the amplifier’s cabinet. There are no user-serviceable parts inside your power amplifier. All service of this product must be referred to a qualified Classé dealer or distributor.

CA-5200 specifications

The Classe Audio CA-5200 is a high-performance power amplifier that exemplifies the pinnacle of audio engineering. Designed to deliver exceptional sound quality and robust power, the CA-5200 is a favorite among audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike.

One of the standout features of the CA-5200 is its impressive power output. With a five-channel configuration, it provides an astounding 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms, delivering superior dynamics and headroom. This makes it an ideal choice for driving a wide range of loudspeakers, from compact, bookshelf models to larger, floor-standing options. The amplifier can effortlessly handle the demands of both music and multichannel movie soundtracks, ensuring that every nuance is captured with fidelity.

The CA-5200 utilizes Class A/B amplification technology, which is renowned for its efficiency and warmth. This technology combines the benefits of Class A operation—characterized by low distortion and an open soundstage—with the efficiency of Class B operation. The result is a powerful amplifier that remains cooler in operation while still providing rich, detailed sound reproduction across the frequency spectrum.
