Available in both Satin Black and Soft Shadow Silver finishes.This Classe Audio CA-100 Power Amplifier comes with original box, owners manual (including allen key), original packaging and plastic cover bag it came in labeled Classe audio incorporated (picture shown). This listing does NOT INCLUDE POWER CORD/CABLE, UNIT COMES AS-IS, AS-DESCRIBED**Shipping: CA-100 box will be boxed to make it double boxed with corrugated cardboard boxes, initial box that will hold the amplifier will have additional padding such as bubble wrap, and styrofoam, to ensure it does not move and stays stable and free from shipping damages, and will be labeled FRAGILE on the outer most box, near the shipping label. **Condition: The CA-100 is in excellent working condition, powers on red and stays red with no internal rail fuses blown. Transformer sits inside the middle of the metal casing and is in perfect performing condition. Never opened metal encasing but this CA-100 Power Amplifier is in guaranteed working condition not requiring any repair of any kind to its internals. 9/10 Cosmetic condition, 10/10 Working condition**This unit along with every other piece of audio equipment listed comes/sells as described and as listed, will uphold listed return policy but under no circumstances will accept my equipment back if it is not in the same condition (or worse condition) than I have sold it in. **CA-100 Specifications:Frequency Response: 20 Hz to 20 KHz - 0.1 dBSensitivity: 950 mV in for rated outputInput Impedance: 75 KohmsOutput Impedance: 0.036 OhmGain: 29.02 dBTHD+N: 0.030%S/N Ratio: 128 dBRated output: {Stereo: 8 Ohms - 100 Watts, 4 Ohms - 200 Watts ;Mono: 8 Ohms - 350 Watts, 4 Ohms - 600 Watts}Dimensions: Gross: 22 x 19 1/2 x 10 1/2 Net:19 x 14 1/4 x 5 1/2Weight: Gross: 40lbs Net: 34lbs**Features Straight sourced from Classe Audio CA-100 Owners Manual:The CA-100 has one AC line fuse, the rating of which should be as follows: {LINE VOLTAGE100 or 120 V.A.C. 220 or 240 V.A.C.FUSE RATING6 AMP SLOW BLOW 125 or 250 volts4 AMP SLOW BLOW250 volts}Remote Control: (Optional) {With a simple connection from the Classé Remote Interface Module to the remote jack atthe back of the amplifier, (see Figure 1) the power amplifier can be turned ON/OFF from a distance (or from another room). }For Regular or Balanced Inputs: {The CLASSÉ CA-100 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-100.}Mono Mode: {The MONO Input is the left channel input, as marked. The unused right channel input is automatically disconnected. MONO output connections are marked below the connectors.Repeat the above MONO settings and connections on the second CA-100 to be used for the other channel.Please remember that the negative output connection of a bridged amplifier is NOT a ground. Do not use a common ground or switchbox set-up. Do not use with electronic crossovers which have a common ground.}Protection Circuit: {The Classé CA-100 is equipped with rail fuses to protect the output drivers (GBD4, 4 amps fast blow.). In the event that a short circuit or other problems occur at the output of the amplifier, one or more of these fuses may blow in an attempt to protect the amplifier. In addition to the fuses, the unit has a circuit for the detection of unusual distortion characteristics and/or DC content in the incoming audio signal. There is also an AC line fuse protecting the unit, it is located at the back of the unit, immediately to the right side of the AC receptacle If the protection circuit of the unit is triggered or any of the fuses has blown, the FRONT PANEL POWER LED will go to BLINKING GREEN. IF THE PROTECTION CIRCUIT HAS BEEN TRIGGERED, TURN THE CA-100 OFF. After the situation which triggered the protection circuit has been clearly identified and corrected, attempt to re-start the unit. IF THE UNIT STILL GOES INTO PROTECTION MODE, OR IF IT APPEARS THAT PROTECTION FUSES DID BLOW, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DEALER.DO NOT TRY TO CHANGE A BLOWN FUSE. REPLACING FUSES AND RE-STARTINGTHE UNIT WITHOUT CHECKING FOR COMPONENT FAILURE COULD RESULT IN FURTHER, SERIOUS DAMAGE TO VITAL COMPONENTS IN YOUR AMPLIFIER.}Longevity in Real World Conditions: All Classé products (all preamps and all amps) share exactly the same circuit (excluding moving coil and moving magnet phono circuits). This means all amplifiers and all high level circuits of the preamps are the same. The same circuit is tailored to different power levels etc. 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. 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.Features listed above are from Classe Audio CA-100 Owners Manual directly.
