CONNECTIONS FOR REGULAR OR BALANCED INPUTS:
The
CLASSÉ
CA-150
power amplifier is equipped with both regular and balanced inputs.
Either one may be used
SEPARATELY BUT NOT SIMULTANEOUSLY
. The balanced inputs must be
connected to a preamplifier which has balanced main outputs, and balanced interconnects with
"XLR"
connectors are also required. Regardless of the amplifier inputs used, stereo or mono operation is
still possible on the
CA-150
.
REGULAR INPUTS
Switch
the
REGULAR/BALANCED
switch to the position marked
"REGULAR"
[UP]. (The
amplifier is factory set for regular use.) Connect the regular interconnects to the
RCA
input jacks on
the rear panels of the
CA-150
. The balanced connectors are automatically disabled.
BALANCED INPUTS
Switch
the
REGULAR/BALANCED
switch to the position marked
"BALANCED" [DOWN]
. A
balanced preamplifier and balanced interconnects are also required. For use with balanced
preamplifiers other than Classé, the wiring of the 3-pin
XLR
connectors must be matched to that of
the CLASSÉ
CA-150
which are wired as follows:
PIN 1: GROUND
PIN 2: POSITIVE (NON-INVERTED) SIGNAL
PIN 3: NEGATIVE (INVERTED) SIGNAL
If the pin configuration of the preamplifier differs from above, the balanced interconnects must be
modified to accommodate the different preamp.
Having confirmed the correct connections,
plug the
XLR
connectors of the balanced interconnects into the locking
XLR
connectors on the rear
panel of the
CA-150
. (To remove the connectors, press the tab above the connector.)
