 HEGEL Amplifier Technology NEW

 Back To Products

HEGEL pre amplifiers are different than other pre amplifiers.

The basic technology used in almost all pre amplifiers on the market are more or less the same. 

Standard circuit configurations such as global feedback technology or local feedback technology are used. These standard technologies has been available for more than 30 years, and is a mature technology. This means most amplifier technologies are more or less the same.

HEGEL decided there was no point in making just another pre amplifier using the standard audio amplifier technology used by a lot of other audio amplifier manufacturers.

HEGEL wanted to do something different.

All HEGEL pre amplifiers are divided into 2 completely separate circuit blocks: the first amplifier block is using a digitally controlled volume control gain stage that will set the needed voltage gain and the second amplifier block will amplify the current needed to drive the connected signal cables.

All Hegel pre amplifiers use completely separate power supplies for the left and the right channel. This makes sure the crosstalk between the Left and right channel is lowest possible

All HEGEL pre amplifiers are fully balanced from input to output, including the crucial volume control stage. This makes sure the distortion is the lowest possible and keeps the dynamic range as high as possible.

These new and innovative technologies are designed to give each separate amplifier block the best possible work conditions, and to prevent the different amplifier blocks from having any influence on each other. This gives the best possible overall sound quality.
