Thank You From Everyone At Classé
Thank you for purchasing the Classé Audio SSP-60 Preamplifier/Surround Sound Processor.
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 of our components benefit from the same rigorous design goal: All Classé products must reproduce music with the
harmonic and spatial integrity typical of fine instruments as heard in a live performance or in the recording studio.
Single Circuit Design
To this end, we make extensive use of carefully optimized 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, etc.) and adjusting specific operating voltages within proper
engineering ranges.
Extended 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, the full
sized power-supplies, and the massive faceplates, every Classé product is a tribute to both the science and art of sound
reproduction. We hope that you derive as much pleasure and satisfaction from using your Classé unit as we did in
producing it.
