The pin assignments of this XLR input connector are:
PUSH
2 1
3
Pin 1: Signal ground
Pin 2: Signal
+ (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
These pin assignments are consistent with the standards adopted by
the Audio Engineering Society.
If you are using your Classé amplifier with a Classé preamplifier,
you’re all set. Just buy a standard balanced interconnect and plug it
in. Then engage that input on the power amplifier by configuring
it as described in the section
Initial Setup .
If you are using another brand of preamplifier, please refer to the
operating manual of your balanced-output preamplifier to ascertain
that the pin assignments of its output connectors correspond to
those of your amplifier. If this is not the case, have your dealer wire
the cables so that the appropriate output pin connects to the
equivalent input pin.
5 Single-Ended (RCA) Input
Single-ended cables using RCA connectors are the most common
form of analog connection used in consumer electronics. When
implemented carefully and with use of high quality interconnect-
ing cables, this standard can provide excellent performance. Classé
has gone to extraordinary effort to ensure that the
single-ended
(RCA) input of your power amplifier is as good as possible. How-
ever, this connection standard cannot offer the immunity from in-
terference that balanced interconnection does—hence our
recommendation to use the balanced inputs when possible.
If you elect to use the single-ended input of your Classé power
amplifier, you need to engage it by configuring the amplifier as de-
scribed in the section
Initial Setup .
6 Speaker Outputs
Two pairs of high-quality five-way binding posts are provided
on the amplifier, in order to facilitate bi-wiring .
In practice, bi-wiring involves connecting two (preferably identi-
cal) sets of speaker cables between the amplifier and its loudspeaker.
In many cases, the benefit is a subjectively improved level of clarity
and detail from the speaker, as a result of being able to feed the two
separate sections of its crossover and driver complement with iden-
tical yet separate signals.
