Classé Omicron Monaural Power Amplifier: Design Overview The Classé Omicron Monaural Power Amplifier is the result of repeated listening sessions. The sound is fine tuned by the exchanging and mixing of parts and the adjusting of many specific operating voltages. The result of these sessions is a sonic recipe that yields a natural harmonic realism typical of instruments in a live performance.
