Also, it is a good practice to physically disconnect any and all valuable
electronics from the AC mains during electrical storms, as a lightning
strike anywhere near your home can put a tremendous surge on the AC

mains that can easily damage any piece of electronics, no matter how well
designed and protected. The best protection in the case of severe electrical
storms is to simply remove the electronics from any connection with the
power grid.

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.

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 channel.

These indicators are also used to indicate fault conditions in your ampliﬁer,
should any ever arise. If a channel’s LED indicators blink red, there is a
problem in that particular channel. If all the Channel LEDs are blinking
red, there may be a systemic problem that is not speciﬁc to a particular
channel.

Caution!

If you see any Channel LED Indicator blinking red, please

disconnect the ampliﬁer from the AC mains immediately and

check that all external connections are cleanly made and

secure. If no fault is immediately obvious, please call your

authorized Classé dealer for assistance.

Mode button
The Mode button is used (along with the Select button) when conﬁguring
the ampliﬁer for either balanced or single-ended operation. It is also

communications or Trigger systems.
