Unpacking and Placement

Carefully unpack your power amplifier according to the supplied instructions, and remove all accessories from the carton. Please take care when lifting the amplifier, as it is heavier than it may appear.

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

Many installations will utilize an equipment rack, although a shelf, a cabinet or the floor near the speaker(s) are acceptable alternatives. In any case, take care to position it well away from source components and preamp/processors, which may be sensitive to the amplifier’s electromagnetic fields.

Note that adequate clearance for the AC cord and connecting cables must be left behind the amplifier. We suggest leaving six inches (15 cm) of free space behind your power amplifier to allow all cables sufficient room to bend without crimping or undue strain.

Your Classé power amplifier generates a certain amount of heat in the course of normal operation. Avoid placement on soft surfaces that would restrict airflow around the unit (such as plush carpeting).

Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and custom cabinetry (see the section Dimensions). Contact your Classé dealer for more information.
