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 P-303 is based on Classé’s whole history of designing and building High End amplifiers.The

P-303 is an Ultra- High performance amplifier of incredible sonic realism capable of

transmitting to the listener the emotional essence of the music. The P-303 has a massive toroidal

transformer totalling 2 KVA, each with their own power cords and a huge storage capacity

which totals over 70000 uF per channel. The P-303 has 10 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 P-303 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
