In fact, in some ways it is even simpler to operate than a more conventional
design might be. For example, if you are not using one or more of the inputs on
your CAP-2100, you can delete the unnecessary buttons from the operational

(Of course, you can easily restore the button if you subsequently add another source
component and need that input.)
customizable
volume control
e volume control on your new Classé integrated amplifier is controlled by
sophisticated software that allows you to fine-tune its response to suit your
preferences.
Ideally, a volume control would allow you to reach the volume you desire
quickly, and would also provide extremely fine control once you are close to the
“perfect”volume.Ofcourse,thesecharacteristicsareinconictwitheachother:
one requires the volume to change by quite a lot for a given amount of turning
of the knob, while the other requires small, incremental changes for the same
turn of the knob.
e volume control system on your CAP-2100 solves this problem by
responding differently based on the specific circumstances (e.g., how quickly you
are turning the knob and where in the volume range you are). After extensive
testing, we feel we have created factory default settings that most people will find
intuitive and a real pleasure to use. However, if you feel you would like to fine-
tune its performance further in order to suit your particular preference, you may
easily do so.
highly refined
circuit design
All Classé analog amplification stages are based on circuits that have been
extensively optimized over many years of continuous development.
By starting with excellent circuit designs and working with them over the years,
we are able to discover the many small refinements that add up to superlative
performance, in a variety of applications. Altering a voltage here, or using a
slightly different part there, may make all the difference between solid and
absolutely outstanding performance.
is level of refinement only comes with a great deal of experience, and is not
available to those who flit from one trendy notion to the next. It accounts
in no small measure for both the consistency of sonic performance among
Classé products (as they are all based on similar analog gain stages), and for the
consistently excellent reviews these products receive from owners and reviewers
alike.
