Unpacking and Placement
unpacking your amplifier Carefully unpack your power amplier according to the supplied instructions,
and remove all accessories from the carton. Please take care when lifting the
amplier, as it is heavier than it may appear.
Important! 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.
placement Many installations will utilize an equipment rack, although a shelf, a cabinet or
the oor near the speaker(s) are acceptable alternatives. In any case, take care to
position it well away from source components and preamp/processors, which

Note that adequate clearance for the AC cord and connecting cables
must be left behind the amplier. We suggest leaving six inches (15 cm)
of free space behind your power amplier to allow all cables sucient
room to bend without crimping or undue strain.
ventilation Your Classé power amplier generates a certain amount of heat in the course of
normal operation. Avoid placement on soft surfaces that would restrict airow
around the unit (such as plush carpeting).
custom installations Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and
custom cabinetry (see the section Dimensions). Contact your Classé dealer for
more information.
