This review will look at the latest offerings from Classé: The Delta PRE preamplifier and Delta MONO monoblock amplifiers. Today, while Classé and those other companies are still in existence, the high-end audio landscape has changed tremendously. When Classé came on the scene, not only were they producing gear that was at least of equal quality and craftsmanship, but they were just as sonically spectacular and seemed to be more reasonably priced. Back in the late '80s and early '90s, the landscape of high-end audio equipment was dominated by companies like Krell, Conrad Johnson, Audio Research, and Jeff Rowland Design Group. Even going back to one of my early favorite amps, the legendary DR3 VHC Class-A amplifier, I've always looked at Classé as sort of a renegade among the high-end audio elite. Other features in the AWS include AUTOCUE functionality, MONITOR VOLUME POT CALIBRATION, SOLO ISOLATE, the ability to control two DAW's simultaneously, and the addition of SOFT BOOT power cycling.Classé Audio Delta PRE and MONOs amplifiers By Dave ThomasĬlassé Audio has always been a fascinating company to me. Each channel sports a dual 12-segment meter which allows DAW Stereo track monitoring. There is a dedicated Stereo VU meter for the MIX, REC, Monitor and Solo busses, a VU Phase meter, 5.1 monitor metering, 8 individual Track Bus meters and all Cue and FX send level indication.

A highly flexible external source selector section can sum, assign and route up to four 5.1 sources, and four stereo input sources to either the control room, studio loudspeaker and headphone foldback feeds. Comprehensive Bass management is also included.
