Description
Fidelity
Delta PRE is the foundation of your perfect system. Designed to connect to a wide range of sources, Delta PRE delivers precision and low-noise performance whether playing analog or digital recordings. Short signal paths, rhodium-plated connectors and custom Navcom® feet ensure clean, interference-free signal transfer.
Control
Audiophiles and professionals trust Classé for accurate sound. Delta PRE offers precise 0.25dB volume steps, a digital-domain Tilt control, selectable subwoofer options, selectable frequency & slope control, advanced five-band parametric EQ, and a digital bypass mode available to analog sources. It supports mono or stereo subwoofers and features pass-thru mode for flexible system integration.
