THANK YOU FROM EVERYONE AT CLASSÉ
Thank you for purchasing the Classé Audio
We take great pride in offering components that combine exceptional sonic performance and long term reliability. To do that, we have invested in extraordinary design and manufacturing facilities. We trust that you will enjoy your purchase for many years to come.
CLASSÉ DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
All our components benefit from the same rigorous design goal: All Classé products must reproduce music with the harmonics and spatial integrity typical of fine instruments heard in a live performance.
Single Circuit Design
To this end, we make extensive use of carefully optimised versions of the same basic circuit precisely matched to specific power requirements. This means that all Classé line level components and power amplifiers benefit from years of refinement. However, our efforts do not stop here.
Listening: The Critical Design Element
Once we determine general circuit values for a particular application, we listen carefully while exchanging and mixing different parts (transistors, capacitors, wiring, PC boards, ect.) and adjusting specific operating voltages within proper engineering ranges.
Extending Real-World Lifespan
Every Classé component, even the most affordable, benefits from our painstaking approach to design parameters. The result is an optimum balance between the often conflicting demands of exceptional performance and long term reliability. Our most expensive components gain from even tighter tolerance parts and highly segmented and exceptionally robust power supplies with large reserve current capabilities.
Our Pride in Manufacturing, Your Pride in Ownership
We build all of our components to the highest possible standards. From multi layer glass epoxy circuit Boards with the highest quality components, and full sized power supplies,
