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

the true re-creation of a live
performance. Our devotion to the
creation of audio and home theater
products of impeccable quality is an
approach that an audiophile
magazine recently called a
combination of art and science
(that) exemplifies the best that high-
end audio has to ofler." This
remarkable achievement is reflected
in our worldwide reputation for
unsurpassed musical per-
formance, reliability,
consistency, and
overall value.
Classés philo-
sophy is one of
technological
evolution, not
r e v o l u t i o n .
Building on what
we know works.

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 amplifiers, this
power is sent to a small number
of large reservoir capacitors
for distribution. However, large
capacitors are often slow in
responding to the rapidly fluctuating
energy demands of music. The
ingenious Classe solution uses a
large number of small capacitors
distributed throughout each
amplifier which are located in close
proximity to the circuits they supply.

The result is a lightening-quick
response creating fabulous dyna-
mics 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-erui circuit topology that
mechanically decouples
vibration-sensitive
components from all
sources of vibration.
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 Classé, we
use all three in a unique sequence
that makes the most of their
particular voltage and input
impedance characteristics. In
addition, we have designed small
but highly efficient extruded
aluminum heat sinks that disperse
transistor-generated heat, ensuring
maximum output without distortion.
