[. . . ] This means all amplifiers and all high level circuits of the preamps are the same. Differences between less expensive models and more expensive models are parts quality and compliment, power supply extravagance and the amount of filtering etc. , as well as features and packaging. This means that for years Classé has been constantly fine tuning and upgrading this circuit and its application, thus reaching a very high level of understanding and musical achievement which benefits all models - least expensive, most expensive, preamps and amplifiers alike. 3. EXTREME LONG LIFE IN REAL WORLD CONDITIONS: Choosing the best attainable quality parts and materials combined with the advantages of the two above-mentioned areas provides Classé owners with years of proven trouble free reliability and musical enjoyment CAM200 OWNER'S MANUAL TABLE OF CONTENTS UNPACKING & SET-UP. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [. . . ] Check the Serial Number sticker on the back of the unit for the correct operating voltage. The CAM200 has one external AC fuse, the rating of which should be as follows: LINE VOLTAGE FUSE RATING 100 or 120 V. A. C 10 AMP SLOW-BLOW 125 or 250 volts 220 or 240 V. A. C 8 AMP SLOW-BLOW 250 volts GENERAL CONNECTIONS A. C. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY HOOKED UP THE SPEAKERS AND PREAMPLIFIER TO YOUR AMPLIFIER BEFORE CONNECTING THE AC POWER CORD TO THE AMPLIFIER. CAUTION: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS DISCONNECT AC LINE CABLE WHILE MAKING ALL CONNECTIONS. "FLOATING THE GROUND", OR DEFEATING THE GROUND ON A 3-PRONG LINECORD MAY CREATE A SHOCK HAZARD. CONNECT ALL INTERCONNECT CABLES BETWEEN THE ELECTRONICS BEFORE CONNECTING THE A. C. THIS WILL REDUCE THE POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD. Input and output connectors are clearly marked on the back of the amplifier. Use only high quality interconnect and loudspeaker cables, and make all connections tight. If the RCA input plugs are loose, remove them and pinch down the ground leaves slightly with pliers. Observe correct phasing of the loudspeaker connections, and tighten. Caution: 1) Do not over tighten the output connectors as this can result to damage your unit. 2) Do not use speaker system that has common ground with this amplifier. IR OUT and IN 5 The CAM200 can be turned ON /OFF using a +5VDC trigger or with remote control code via the IR IN jack located at the rear of the unit. Your CAM200 is factory set as being the 1st amp (AMP 1) to be turned on in sequence. To reprogram your unit so that it would be the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th amps to be turned on in sequence you have to follow this procedure.

To turn all six of the amplifier ON and OFF the following code should be used: ALL ON_____08 ALL OFF_____9 CONNECTIONS FOR REGULAR OR BALANCED INPUTS: 7 The CLASSÉ CAM200 power amplifier is equipped with both regular and balanced inputs, either one may be used SEPARATELY, BUT NOT SIMULTANEOUSLY. Be sure that the CAM200 is OFF before changing any connections. When the amplifier is shipped from Classé, there is a jumper at the balanced input (XLR) between pin 1 and 3. To use the amplifier in single ended mode simply connect a single ended interconnect from the preamplifier to the RCA input of the CAM200. To use the CAM200 in balanced mode, remove the single ended interconnect and remove the jumper at the XLR; please keep this jumper for later use; connect the preamplifier to the CAM200 using balanced interconnect. The XLR connector of the CAM200 is configured as below PIN 1: DRAIN PIN 2: POSITIVE (NON-INVERTED) SIGNAL, "HOT" PIN 3: NEGATIVE (INVERTED) SIGNAL All Classé preamplifiers and amplifiers have the same pin out configuration of the XLR. Other manufacturers may have different XLR pin out configuration please contact the manufacture if you wish to maintain absolute phase throughout your system when connect Classé's equipment with other manufacturer's equipment. Having confirmed or established the correct phasing, be sure the amplifier is off, then plug the XLR connector of the balanced interconnect into the locking XLR connector on the rear panel of the CAM200.
