lasse Audio, Inc. shares
a dream with its clients -

the true re-creation of a live perfor-
mance. Our devotion to the creation
of audio and home theater products
of impeccable quality is an
approach that an audiophile maga-
zine recently called a combination
of art and science (that) exemplifies
the best that high-end audio has to
oflen This remarkable achieve-
ment is reflected in our worldwide
reputation for unsurpassed
musical performance,
reliability, consistency,
and overall value
Classés philoso-
phy is one of
technological
evolution, not

Building on what

we know works. . -. c:

All Classe amplifiers

share a common, unique design.
Each model employs a massive,
shielded toroidal transformer to
power our sophisticated, high-speed
circuitry. In most high~end ampli-
fiers, this power is sent to a small
number of large reservoir capaci-
tors for distribution. However, large
capacitors are often slow in
responding to the rapidly fluctuating
energy demands of music. The inge-
nious Classe solution uses a large
number of small capacitors distrib»
uted throughout each amplifier
which are located in close proximity

to the circuits they supply. The
result is a lightening-quick response
creating fabulous dynamics coupled
with a more natural sound!

Microphonics, caused by component
vibration and magnetic interference
from the passage of electric current
through them, has plagued audio
designers since the beginning of
recorded sound. Isolation is the key.
At Classé, we begin with a unique
front-end circuit topology that
mechanically decouples
vibration-sensitive
components from all
sources of vibra-
tion. In addition,
our transformers
rest on a specially
designed plate to
draw magnetic
fields away from the
circuitry.

Bl-POLAR? MOSFET? J-FET?
Most high-end amplifiers use only
one type of transistor. At Classe, we
use all three in a unique sequence
that makes the most of their particu-
lar voltage and input impedance
characteristics. In addition, we have
designed small but highly eflicient
extruded aluminum heat sinks that
disperse transistor-generated heat,
ensuring maximum output without
distortion.
