features

hardware setup

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 CP-700 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.

1Classé Delta Series Products

Two or more Classé Delta series products are required, at least one of which must have a touchscreen display.

2Category 5 Network Cables

These are ordinary network cables, commonly used for broadband Internet connections. They should be typical “straight through” cables not the “crossed over” type, and the total required will be one less than the total number of Delta series components in your system.

3CAN-Bus Terminator

A single CAN-Bus Terminator may be required. It is inserted into the CAN-Bus OUT connector of the last component in the CAN-Bus daisy chain. One is included in the box with your CP-700. They are also available free of charge from your nearest Classé Customer Support Centre http://www.Classeaudio.com/support/service.htm

4SSP-300 & 600 CAN-Bus Interface Box

Systems that include an SSP-600 or SSP-300 will also require an SSP-300/600 CAN-Bus Interface Box. These are included with the products or available free of charge from your nearest Classé Customer Support Centre http://www.Classeaudio.com/support/service.htm
