CAN-Bus

features

Make sure all the connections are snug and cannot be easily wiggled free, but do not overtighten them. If you can give the speaker wires a reasonable tug without movement, they are snug. Further tightening will not make a better connection, and (taken to the extreme) may damage the connectors.

6.Double-check all your connections.

We understand that this step sounds redundant, but it is worth the extra minute or two it might take just to ensure that all connections are correct and secure before plugging the power cables to the AC outlets.

7.Turn on all the other components in your system, and then turn on your amplifier.

It is always good practice to turn any power amplifier on last, and to turn it off first. Doing so prevents any turn-on/turn-off transients that might originate in other components from damaging your loudspeakers.

Classé’s Controller Area Network, or CAN-Bus, opens the way to a new level of interaction between our Delta range of amplifiers, preamps, processors and source components. When the CA-5100 is connected with CAN-Bus, the different elements of a Delta series system are in constant communication, creating a “global” network that delivers system wide status information and shared operational features, all through the touchscreen display.

CAN-Bus will allow a single Delta series touchscreen to:

•Display status information for every connected unit, including amplifiers which do not have a touchscreen display.

•Create a “PlayLink” that allows an SSP or Preamp to automatically switch to the correct input when a Delta series source component starts playback.

•Adjust the global system brightness.

•Configure the entire system to go in and out of standby at the touch of a button and also bring individual components in and out of standby.

•Mute any connected unit.
