CLASSÉ DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
1. REPEATED LISTENING DESIGN SESSIONS:
Fine tuning of sound by exchanging and mixing of parts (transistors, capacitors, wiring,
PCB boards etc.), and adjusting many specific operating voltages within proper engineering
ranges, producing an overall sonic recipe giving the most natural harmonic realism of music
typical of instruments in a live performance.
2. UPGRADABLE SINGLE CIRCUIT DESIGNS:
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.
3. EXTREME LONG LIFE IN REAL WORLD CONDITIONS:
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.
