Sigma AMP MONO - Mono Power Amplifier

Information

The Sigma MONO is the reference design for the proprietary Classé amplifier platform introduced in the Delta series CA-D200 and Sigma AMP2 and AMP5 models. With completely separate chassis for each channel, the monaural amplifier architecture eliminates the possibility of crosstalk between channels and allows speaker cable lengths to be held to a minimum to minimize losses. It efficiently delivers a prodigious 350W into 8Ω and 700W into 4Ω, suitable for the most difficult speaker loads and critical listening applications.

Firmware

  • Latest Firmware : Version 0.57 (Date: Jan 1, 2017)
How to Check and Update Firmware

How to check the current Firmware of your Sigma AMP

  • If the Sigma AMP is connected via CAN-Bus (to a SSP), you can check the installed Firmware Version using the Status Screen of your Classé Surround Sound Processor.

  • If you have no CAN-Bus connection to verify the Firmware Version then we advise you update the Firmware using the Procedure below in any case.  It will take only a minute.

How to update  Firmware on a Sigma AMP (all models)

  • download the latest Firmware package
  • unzip the downloaded file on your local computer
  • copy the unzipped file onto a new USB key.  This key must be empty.  The file must be located at the "root" level
  • power off your Sigma AMP using the Power switch on the rear of the unit
  • insert the USB stick in the front USB port
  • Power on the Sigma AMP using the power switch in the rear of the unit
  • the Firmware update will start automatically and will take less than a minute
  • When finished the unit will go into Standby (solid red LED)

What to do when your Firmware Update fails

  • simply power down the unit and remove the USB key, the unit will revert back to its previous Firmware Version when your power on again;

    Then what...?

    1. Our first suggestion is to try again using the same USB key;
    2. If the Update Fails once more, we suggest that you get a new, clean USB key and try again. We have seen updates fail because of fragmentation of the USB key, or because of vendor-specific key issues.
    3. If the Update still fails, we ask you to send us the APP.LOG and BOOT.LOG files that you will find on the USB Key:
      - insert the USB key into your local computer and open the USB key (file explorer)
      - you will notice that 2 LOG files have been written to the USB key.
      - Copy these log file to your local computer. 
      - Please send them to Classé Tech Support for further evaluation, with the Serial Number of the unit.
