Unpacking and Placement
unpacking your
integrated amplifier
Carefully unpack your integrated amplifier according to the supplied
instructions, and remove all accessories from the carton.
Important! Keep all packing materials for future transport of your Classé
product. 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 As with any integrated amplifier, it is best to place the CAP-2100 centrally
within your system, since it is the hub to which all other components are
connected. It should also be located at a convenient height for both visibility and
use, since you generally interact with your integrated amplifier more than any
other component (changing inputs, adjusting volume, etc.).
Note that adequate clearance for the AC cord and connecting cables
must be left behind the CAP-2100. We suggest leaving eight inches
(20 cm) of free space behind your integrated amplifier to allow all cables
sufficient room to bend without crimping or undue strain.
Classé recommends that the unit not be placed directly on the top surface of a
power amplifier (or any other heat source).
ventilation Your Classé integrated amplifier generates a certain amount of heat in the course
of normal operation. Be sure to allow six inches of clearance above it and three
inches to each side to allow heat dissipation through air circulation. Avoid
placement on soft surfaces that would restrict airflow (such as plush carpeting).
