Classé 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 producm
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 offer.
This remarkable achievement is
reflected in our worldwide repu-
tation for unsurpassed musical
performance, reliability, consisten-
cy, and value. Classés philosophy
is one of technological evolution,
not revolution.Building on what
we know works.

All Classé 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
Classé 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 creat-
ing fabulous dynamics coupled
with a more natural sound!

Microphonix, caused by compo-
nent 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 vibration. In addition,
our transformers rest on a
specially designed plate to draw
magneticfields 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 character-
istics. In addition, we have
designed small but highly
efficient extruded aluminum
heat sinks that disperse transistor-
generated heat, ensuring maxi-
mum output without distortion.

The CAV-150 offers complete
flexibility for use in a wide range
of home theatre applications.
The six channels of the CAV-150
can be easily customized to meet
the amplification needs of the
most demanding home theatre
systems.
