CA-5300 FIVE-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER

Our Delta series amplifiers embody all that Classé represents:
innovation, technological achievement, consummate craftsmanship, and
iconic design. But they are not just the latest in the distinguished
line of Classé amplifiers to be launched since 1980. They are new,
revolutionary and unique.

Performance first

The original Delta series amplifiers won more than critical acclaim.
Elite audio professionals use them to master music and movies that the
whole world has enjoyed. Our newest amplifiers are even better.
Objectively, pure technical measurements prove they deliver our highest
performance ever. Subjectively, they simply blow audiences away.

The Classé design team has created the ultimate environment to
amplify an audio signal. The entire amplification process occurs on a
single board, creating the most direct and transparent signal path
conceivable. Our uniquely miniaturized driver stage is virtually noise
free, so every nuance of the original signal reaches the output stage.
Here, vast quantities of clean power are controlled with absolute
precision. Suddenly, the world’s finest speakers sound even better.

Performance fast

There is a relationship between temperature and performance but it is
widely misunderstood. Audiophiles say that optimal performance is
obtained when an amplifier is “warmed up,” but what does this actually
mean? When is it warm enough and when is it too warm?

The exposed heatsink fins found on conventional amplifiers are
passive.They can’t help circuits reach their ideal temperature or keep
them there throughout a listening session. They run at a temperature
wholly defined by their environment and how loud they are playing. This
can be far from ideal.

Heat management in Classé’s new Delta series amplifiers is provided
by the ICTunnel™ (pronounced Icy Tunnel), a sensor- and
microprocessor-controlled technology inspired by the heatsinks found in
high-power laser and medical equipment. Mounted inside the unit, the
ICTunnel™ actively regulates the amplifier temperature to ensure both
optimum performance and reliability.

From room temperature, the amplifiers warm up fast. They reach their
ideal temperature in less than fifteen minutes and remain there
regardless of how hard they are driven. No conventional heatsink can do
this.

In a Class by itself

Ground-breaking performance, prodigious power, sophisticated control and
rock-steady reliability—Classé’s new Delta series is a giant leap in
amplifier design. Thanks to exclusive ICTunnel™ and audio technologies,
only Classé amplifiers can consistently deliver top performance and
reliability in every installation.

* Specifications for output into 4 ohms are omitted
because the AC Mains/power supply cannot support all channels driven
simultaneously at this level, which would require over 5,000W and only
occur under a special test condition. The amplifier easily drives lower
impedance loads.
