Getting Started

Thank you for purchasing a CAAS Audio Elysian 100 Power Amplifier. The Elysian range have

been designed to meet the highest standards of performance, sound and build quality.

The Elysian 100 Mono-Block Power Amplifier should arrive in a well packaged box weighing

slightly in excess of 10kg. This should mean that your Elysian 100 arrives in pristine order. If this is

not the case please contact CAAS Audio immediately.

While unpacking, please take care to always lift with bent knees and a straight back, using

your leg muscles to lift, in accordance with government HSE guide lines.

The Elysian 100 is a single channel power amplifier, for use in a stereo system you will require two

(2) Elysian 100 amplifiers. For use in a 5.1 system you will require five (5) Elysian 100 amplifiers.

The Elysian is heavily biased towards class A and therefore will need to dissipate significant power

as heat. For this reason adequate ventilation is mandatory. If the Elysian 100 is running too hot to

touch you should power off the unit immediately, leave time for it to cool down and then increase

the ventilation around the amplifier. Never install the amplifier near any other heat sources.

Place the Elysian 100 in its preferred listening position, taking care to insure that it has adequate

ventilation (CAAS recommend > 20cm all around & >30cm above), is not close to any heat

radiating sources and is installed on an equipment stand capable of supporting in excess of the

Elysian's 11kg weight. Do not use fans to try and cool the amplifier as this will adversely affect the

internal temperature feedback system. Do not operate the amplifier in ambient temperatures below

0 degrees C or above 35 degrees C.

Ensure when connecting the power cable that any extension leads necessary are rated at 13A or

above. (Do not use extension cables unless totally necessary).

The Elysian 100 is available in two standard mains input versions the 240V UK and European and

the 120V USA. Please check the rear of your unit to make sure the right input voltage is marked.

For normal music or AV operation the average output power level of the Elysian is much lower than

rated. A reasonable listening level tends to be around 1W, while a quite loud listening level would

still only be below 50W. This means that under normal operation the Elysian will only be using a

fraction of its maximum power rating from the mains supply and will operate with significantly

reduced power dissipation (approximately 100W per channel). When operating at audio output

levels of 200W or higher the amplifier could use up to 400W per channel from the mains supply.

The Elysian 100 has single ended (RCA) and balanced (XLR) inputs on the rear of the unit. Both

inputs are DC coupled directly to your pre-amplifier (this is done for maximum sound quality) so

please ensure that the pre-amplifier does not exhibit a large output DC offset. It is very

IMPORTANT that the input select toggle switch (on the rear) is set in the right position (Up for XLR,

down for RCA). Do not operate the amplifier with this switch in the wrong position.
