Special Design Features
highly refined
circuit design
is Classé amplier utilizes our latest technology, implemented with the
highest quality parts. A combination of careful part selection and circuit layout
combined with an extended class A operating area enables superior performance
under all conditions. It delivers enormous power into low-impedance loads and
achieves extremely low distortion throughout the audio band, most notably
maintaining its low-distortion prole even at high frequencies. e result is
an engaging sound without listener fatigue that will lead to countless hours of
listening enjoyment.
extensive listening tests Excellent measured performance is to be expected in world-class products, and
Classé products deliver that performance. However, experience has shown that
technical excellence alone is insucient to guarantee subjectively musical results.
For this reason, all Classé products are laboriously ne-tuned during the
development process by carefully controlled listening tests. Our ears are still
some of the nest test instruments available, and nicely complement even the
best engineering test equipment. We rely on careful listening tests, which we
view as a necessary complement to the solid engineering you should rightly
expect from Classé.
extraordinary longevity e Classé Design team has accumulated vast experience in what works well over
the long term.
By using only the highest quality parts to begin with, and then using them in
an informed way as a result of both accelerated aging tests and actual long-
term experience, we are able to design and manufacture products which we are
condent will stand the test of time.
We are condent that your new Classé amplier will give you many years of
trouble-free reliability and musical enjoyment, just as previous Classé products
have given their owners.
robust protection Finally, your new Classé amplier incorporates a variety of protection circuits, all
designed to protect both the amplier and your loudspeakers against dangerous
fault conditions. Signicantly, these protection circuits do not intrude upon
or limit the normal performance of the amplier; rather, they simply put the
amplier into protection mode when confronted with abnormal conditions.
ese conditions include:
• output overload and short circuit protection
• DC oset
• excessive operating temperatures
Some conditions, such as DC oset, may be corrected up to a point
automatically in the amplier while others will result in the amplier switching
itself o. In such a case, the Standby LED status indicator will blink red until
the fault can be righted and the amplier is reset by pressing and holding the
standby button for at least ve seconds.
