Product Description
The Hegel C5 series offers versatile and configurable options to meet your specific needs. Whether you need 3, 4, or 5 channels, these rack-mountable power amplifiers deliver up to 150 watts per channel of pure analog power. This powerful yet affordable solution will surely impress even the most discerning audiophiles, making it the perfect addition to any sound system.
Discover the ultimate in high-performance multi-channel amplifiers with the Hegel C5-series. Tailored to your specific needs, the C5 comes in three different versions - offering 3, 4, or 5-channel configurations. This means you can easily create a 5.1 or Atmos theater with one or more C5's, or even bi-amp speakers and utilize active cross overs. From mastering studios to restaurants to homes, the C5 delivers unmatched sound quality with impressive dynamics and minimal distortion.
As flexible as it is, the C5-series of amplifiers still maintains the full Hegel Sound. C5 uses the patented SoundEngine2 technology with its many benefits. One of them is the possibility to run low bias, meaning the high power class A/B amplifier do not run as warm as normal, allowing you to install it in a 19” rack. Another benefit of the SoundEngine2 is the very high damping factor (more than 2000). Higher damping factor means deep, deep bass and complete control of the bass drivers. It is one of the reasons people are talking about the dynamic Hegel sound. Yet the most important is its low distortion. Hegel’s patented SoundEngine2 amplifiers work almost like a noise-canceling headphone. All distortion elements created within the amplifier circuits are dynamically canceled out, by being played back in a negative phase. So no matter how you choose to configure, the C5-Series will deliver a spectacular soundstage. Never hard or unpleasant. Always natural, smooth and with incredible dynamics.
Versatility stretches further than the number of audio channels and ways to use. The ability to switch phase individually for each channel or selecting between different gain settings for each channel makes it so much easier to integrate into a larger system. The trigger input and output (allows daisy chaining) means you can place it in a separate room and never worry about switching it on or off. The C55 is 3u tall, with massive rackmount ears that are an integrated part of the amplifier shell. When installed in a rack, we recommend 1u spacing on top and bottom. There are also adjustable and detachable rear mount ears. If you do not choose to install it in a rack, feet are supplied in the accessory box. Meaning, the C5-series can fit in any application.
