The Classé One- Thousand brings together world leading levels of engineering, highest quality parts
and materials, and a never ending love for music, providing an unsurpassed blend of technology, musical
performance and value, while retaining the classic Classé look, feel, and individuality.

The One-Thousand employs sophisticated circuitry using reference quality parts including one
percent custom metal-film resistors, polystyrene and polypropylene capacitors, leading-edge printed
circuit boards incorporating specially designed Classé UH C transfercharacteristics, and Classé custom
designed switches and relays with special contacts, providing quiet trouble free operation,

The One- Thousand incorporates a massive custom toroidal transformer providing a voltage»
current ratio that removes the restraints of inefiicient loudspeakers, low impedances, and larger listening
rooms, providing dramatic lifelike dynamics, detail, and resolution, in an eflortless easy to listen to
natural fashion.

The main storage filtering is handled by large custom made capacitors totalling 140,000 UF filter
capacitance, and features proprietary Classé ultrasonic filtering of both the main output transistorstage,
as well as the local supply to the low level differential amplifier stages.

Special custom designed heat sinks by Classe efficiently maintain lower output transistor case temperatures, allowing ultra high current and voltage with a
reduced number of devices, resulting in a faster and truly transparent response as well as total freedom of dynamic contrasts.

Both balanced and single ended operation are standard features.

Extensive research into mechanical isolation of sensitive signal path circuitry, as well as controlled impedances and voltages, dramatically reduced vibrations
causing microphonics, resulting in previously unattainable levels of transparency, resolution ofdetail, soundstagefocus, and a clean natural timbre and harmonics

Unprecedented state of the art music reproduction, and levels of natural musical excitement of the Classe One-Thousand have created an immediate stir, from
stereo publications and showrooms worldwide, to the most demanding audio critics and devoted music lovers alike, thus reinforcing Classé s philosophy of repeated
listening design sessions, and years of musical fine timing necessary to approach the harmonics of music, typically achieved with only the finest quality musical
instruments.

Whether judged by its sonic merit or its handcrafted quality, the Classé One- Thousand is clearly a reference quality product capable of compl imenting the finest
audio system.
