The CA-5100 includes protection circuitry that will prevent the amplifier from operating at dangerously high or low voltages. • At startup: the AC mains voltage must be within a range of approximately -15% to +10% of its nominal value at startup, or the amplifier will not turn on. For example, a 120V unit requires the AC mains to be between approximately 95V–135V in order to turn on. • Over-voltage during operation: if the AC mains voltage surges by roughly 10% or more during operation, the

ENGLISH Special Design Features highly refined All Classé analog amplification stages are based on circuits that have been circuit design extensively optimized over many years of continuous development. By starting with excellent circuit designs and working with them over the years, we are able to discover the many small refinements that add up to superlative performance, in a variety of applications. Altering a voltage here, or using a slightly different part there, may make all the differen

extraordinary longevity Another benefit of having worked with highly refined circuit designs so extensively over many years is that we have vast experience in what works well over the long term. By using only the highest quality parts to begin with, and then using them in an informed way as a result of both accelerated aging experiments and actual long- term experience, we are able to design and manufacture products which we are confident will stand the test of time.

2 Select button The Select button is used (along with the Mode button) when configuring the amplifier for either balanced or single-ended operation. It is also used when configuring the turn-on delay or amplifier number for an amplifier connected to a Classé preamplifier by the DC Trigger or CAN Bus control systems. 3 Channel status LED indicators Each amplifier channel has two Channel LED indicators. They are used to indicate the use of either balanced (XLR) or single-ended (RCA) inputs for that

Initial Setup Your new Classé amplifier is quite simple to set up and enjoy. Please follow the steps outlined below in order to safely set up and use your new amplifier. Important: The AC mains connection should be the last connection you make on your new power amplifier. In addition, it is always a good idea to power up your power amplifier(s) last, after everything else has been powered up and has stabilized. . Conversely, it is good practice to power the amplifier(s) down first when shut

ENGLISH configuring amplifier In a system that contains multiple Classé amplifiers, you may set the turn-on delay/amp no. number of seconds of turn-on delay for each amplifier, allowing each to turn on in the order you have specified, rather than all at once. (Having several powerful amplifiers all turning on at the same time can sometimes stress the AC mains in your home, potentially leading to nuisance tripping of circuit breakers). This number also acts as an ID when using the CAN Bus. For e

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 i
