Classé Omicron Monaural Power Amplifier: Design Overview
The Classé Omicron Monaural Power Amplifier is the result of
repeated listening 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.
Unique Circuit Design
The Classé Omicron Monaural Power Amplifier circuitry design is
derived directly from our Omega Mono Power Amplifier. This unique
design utilizes 48 output devices in a special arrangement designed
to maintain internal rail voltage under the most adverse conditions.
The 48 output devices are divided evenly, 24 being utilized to
maintain rail voltage, and the other 24 utilized as output power
devices. The result of this unique design is an amplifier which offers
uncompromised performance even under the most adverse
conditions.
