Hegel C55 Power Amplifier

Introducing the Hegel C55 Power Amplifier: When functionality meets astonishing sound quality, sheer power, and luxury, you know you're in for a treat. The Hegel C55 doesn't just tweak expectations, it shatters them. Designed to raise the bar in audio performance without raising the bar in cost, the C55 is not your usual pricey diamond - it’s much more valuable. No matter your sound needs, catering to them has never been this effortless and fulfilling.

With the flexibility to opt for 3, 4 or 5 channels and an impressive 150w/pc analog amplifier power on each, the Hegel C55 holds the keys to the world of ultra-clear, high fidelity sound. It's not just about quantity, but quality too – with low distortion courtesy of Hegel’s patented SoundEngine2 technology, your bass will reach new depths of control and clarity, while treble stays crisp and luscious. Hate the heat? No worries. The C55's low bias means it won't run as warm as your typical A/B class amplifier, making it perfect for 19” rack installation without losing any of its incredible performance.

Whether you're planning a mastering studio, restaurant background music, or a home theatre experience - the Hegel C55 adapts and excels, proving it's not just a power amplifier, it's the power amplifier. Need even more control? The C55's switchable gain and phase control for each channel allows for effortless integration into any system, while the trigger input and output practically takes care of the power control for you, wherever you decide to place it. If you thought high-performance sound and ultra-low distortion were out of your reach, think again. Welcome to the future of sound, welcome to the Hegel C5 series.

Features:

  • Multi-channel Experience: Designed in 3, 4, or 5 channel variations, the C55 series from Hegel allows you to design an immersive sound environment in any setting. Whether you're aiming for 5.1 or Atmos in a home theatre, or a rich sound experience in a restaurant or mastering studio, C55 stands ready.
  • SoundEngine2 Technology: Hegel's patented technology ensures ultra-low distortion and a high damping factor for controlled, resounding bass and clear, undefined trebles. The unique advantage of this technology is the bias control that keeps the amp cool, making it perfect for 19” rack installation.
  • Switchable Gain and Phase Control: Gain control works on various modes (23 dB or 29 dB) to match your sound needs, while the Phase control (1/180) allows for seamless integration into your desired sound system.
  • Trigger Input/Output: Convenient power control features, including daisy-chaining capability, allow optimum ease of use, making the C55 both a user-friendly and a performance-heavy amplifier.

Benefits:

  • Power meets Performance: The C55 amplifier delivers an unusual 150W/pc of analog power, promising breathtaking sound performance across frequencies. From high-volumed movie effects to the gentlest melodies, the C55 delivers with unparalleled poise.
  • Quality Sound, Low Heat: Unlike traditional A/B class amplifiers, C55, with its clever bias control, does not run as warm. This cool operation makes it perfect for mounting in racks without compromising the sound quality even a bit.
  • Flexibility par Excellence: With options to choose the number of channels, switch between different gain settings, and even manage phase control, the C55 delivers the exact sound output you desire, catering to your unique needs.
  • Ease of Installation: Coupling its power and performance with matchless design intelligence, the C55 amplifier is easy to install. Whether you want to rack-mount it using the supplied rack ears or keep it on a tabletop using feet accessories, the C55 is always at home.
  • Uncompromised Fidelity: With a noise cancellation technique (like in headphones) through negative phase playback, the SoundEngine2 design delivers an immersive sound environment with negligible distortion.
  • Connectivity: Unbalanced (RCA) and balanced inputs (XLR), along with handy trigger in/out, make the C55 a wonderful choice for the modern, connected world.
