Connect the speaker cables using either banana plugs or spade connectors (preferable) to the

appropriate terminals (white for ground / return and red for live). Observe the flow polarity of your

speaker cables. Only ever connect and disconnect the cables while the amplifier is powered off.

Take care not to short circuit the connectors or cables at any time as this may damage the

amplifier's output stage. Once you are certain that all cables are correctly fitted at both ends, you

are ready to power up the Elysian 100.

Operation

Power the Elysian 100 by turning the switch on the rear to the ON (I) position. This is a mechanical

switch and will disconnect the product from the main supply. Once turned on the front LED will

illuminate.

Although the Elysian 100 will produce exceptional performance from the first time it is switched on,

this performance will improve as components settle in. The greatest improvement to performance

will occur in the first 50 hours of operation. After 100 hours or so the amplifier performance will

remain consistently high.

Each time the amplifier is switched on, the Elysian 100 will require at least 20 minutes to reach its

optimum operating temperature (around 50 degrees C).

Partnering Equipment & Components

The Elysian 100 amplifiers are a perfect match for CAAS Audio's DAS or EAS. Take care when

choosing a pre-amplifier to partner the Elysian 100. If your pre-amplifier is a passive unit with high

output impedance, it may not be best suited to the @30kohm input impedance that the Elysian 100

offers. For the best results, CAAS Audio recommends partnering the Elysian 100 with a low output

impedance pre-amplifier (200ohms or less) like the Elysian EAS.

The Elysian 100 has a low output impedance and hence a good to high damping factor, therefore

speaker cable choice may be less critical than some amplifiers. Never the less, to maximise the

audio performance, CAAS Audio recommend keeping speaker cable lengths to an absolute

minimum and ensuring that both left and right speaker cables are identical in both length and type.

The Elysian 100 can drive practically any loudspeaker you can name with exceptional results.

Therefore we have no real recommendations here, except take care with the power rating of your

speaker (especially for low impedance speakers) as the Elysian 100 is capable of delivering over

200W into low impedance speakers. If run at this level for a significant period, the amplifier may

run too hot and require a period of rest.

Ground Lift & Ground Loops

The Elysian 100 is not fitted with a ground lift switch. CAAS Audio believe the practice of

disconnecting grounds to be detrimental to the overall system quality and in some instances

dangerous. The Elysian 100 has been designed to minimise internal ground loops and reduce the

effect of connecting equipment ground loops. The Elysian 100 should operate with no audible

mains hum. If mains hum (and or ground noise) is present when a pre-amp is connected, the

resulting noise is due to the preceding pre-amp and or source component, not the Elysian 100.
