Unpacking and Placement
unpacking your
integrated amplifier
Carefully unpack your integrated amplifi er 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 amplifi er, 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 amplifi er 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 amplifi er to allow all cables
suffi
cient room to bend without crimping or undue strain.
Classé recommends that the unit not be placed directly on the top surface of a
power amplifi er (or any other heat source).
ventilation Your Classé integrated amplifi er 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 airfl ow (such as plush carpeting).
custom installations Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and
custom cabinetry (see the section Dimensions). An optional, purpose-designed
rack mount kit is available for this product. Contact your Classé dealer for more
information.
serial number Th e serial number for your integrated amplifi er is found on the rear of the
unit. Please note and record this number on the page entitled Important Safety
Instructions for your future reference.
