CLASSÉ DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
1. REPEATED LISTENING DESIGN SESSIONS:
Fine tuning of sound by exchanging and mixing of parts (transistors, capacitors, wiring, PCB
boards etc.), and adjusting many specific operating voltages within proper engineering ranges,
producing an overall sonic recipe giving the most natural harmonic realism of music typical of
instruments in a live performance.
2. CIRCUIT DESIGN:
The OMEGA is based on Classés whole history of designing and building High End
amplifiers.The OMEGA is an Ultra- High performance amplifier of incredible sonic realism
capable of transmitting to the listener the emotional essence of the music. The OMEGA is
actually two completely separate amplifiers with two massive toroidal transformers totalling
5KVA, each with their own power cords and a huge storage capacity which totals over 100,000
uF per channel
. The OMEGA has sixteen high voltage/current Bi-Polar output devices per
channel. Discrete high voltage/current voltage regulation for the pre-driver and input sections.
Also featured are heavily gold plated bars connecting supplies of the output devices. Gold plated
input and output connectors. Oxygen free copper wiring. All signal carrying cables are shielded
and have Litz type configuration. The OMEGA is symmetrical from input to output
3. EXTREME LONG LIFE IN REAL WORLD CONDITIONS:
Choosing the best attainable quality parts and materials combined with the advantages of the two
above-mentioned areas provides Classé owners with years of proven trouble free reliability and
musical enjoyment.
