Classé CAV-180 Multichannel Power Amplifier:
Design Overview
The Classé CAV-180 Multichannel Power Amplifier
is the result of repeated listening design sessions.
The sound is fine tuned by the exchanging and
mixing of parts and the adjusting of many specific
operating voltages. The result of these sessions is a
sonic recipe that yields a natural harmonic realism
typical of instruments in a live performance.

Single Circuit Design
All Classé Power Amplifiers and Preamplifiers
including the CAV-180 Multichannel Power
Amplifier share exactly the same circuit design.
This means all amplifers and all high level circuits of
our preamplifers are the same. The circuit is tailored
for different power levels and applications. The
differences are found in the complement and the
quality of parts, and the power supply
sophistication. The result of years of fine tuning is a
very high level of understanding and achievement
in circuit design that benefits all Classé products.
