Classé CAN-Bus Control Ports
Th
ese RJ-45 connectors are reserved for future control and communication
applications using Classé Audio’s implementation of the Controller Area
Network (CAN) Bus specifi cation.
9
RS-232 Control Port
Th
is DB-9 connector has two purposes:
• downloading new operating software into your integrated
amplifi er (should new features ever be added, for example)
• external control of your integrated amplifi er by control systems
such as i-Command
™
, AMX
®
and Crestron
™
For more information, please contact your dealer and ask about home
automation systems.
10 DC Trigger Input and Output
Many audio/video components can supply a DC control voltage to
associated equipment in order to induce desired behavior. Your Classé
integrated amplifi er can take advantage of these capabilities in order to be
switched between operate and standby automatically.
Th
e 1/8th-inch mini-jack Trigger In provides for remote-controlled
turn-on (that is, toggling between operate and standby) of the integrated
amplifi er.
Two 1/8th-inch mono mini-jacks provide individually controllable DC
trigger outputs which can be used for any of a number of purposes, as
described in Th
e Menu System. For example, your dealer can program
Trigger Out1 to toggle an outboard Classé power amplifi er between
operate and standby with your CAP-2100 (to facilitate the operation of
bi-amped systems).
Th
e remote trigger input will respond to the presence of 5–12VDC, with
tip polarity as shown below:
Similarly, the trigger outputs will create a 12VDC signal that can support
up to 100mA of current.
11 Ground
terminal
Th
e ground terminal on your integrated amplifi er is most often used for
the ground wire of a turntable, assuming you have the optional phono
module installed (see your authorized Classé dealer for more information
on this option if you are interested).
Connecting the ground wire from your turntable’s tonearm to this screw
terminal usually minimizes any hum or buzzing to which the turntable
might otherwise be susceptible. Your authorized Classé dealer can assist
you in handling this problem if it should arise.
