Hegel C53 Multi Channel Amplifier

Presenting the Hegel C5 Series: An exceptional multi-channel amplifier designed for unparalleled sound performance, all without the astronomical price tag. This amplifier is tailored to your exact needs, making it more than just a dream come true. The Hegel C5 Series includes 3, 4, or 5 channel power amplifiers that are rack-mountable, configurable to your specifications, and, most importantly, they will leave you astounded with their sound quality. With up to 5 channels of 150 watts per channel analog amplifier power, it boasts the power and finesse to elevate your audio experience to new heights. Allow us to introduce the Hegel C5 Series.

Meet the Hegel C5 Series, the most versatile high-performance multi-channel amplifiers on the market. The C5 is available in three different versions, all designed to cater to your unique requirements. You can opt for a 3-channel, 4-channel, or 5-channel configuration, allowing you to create a 5.1 or Atmos theater with one or more C5 units. Whether you want to bi-amp speakers, utilize active crossovers, power multiple speakers in a studio, restaurant, or home, the C5 Series is your solution for high-performance sound with exceptional dynamics and ultra-low distortion.

Even with its flexibility, the C5 Series preserves the renowned Hegel Sound. It utilizes the patented SoundEngine2 technology, offering numerous advantages. Notably, it allows for low bias, ensuring that the high-power class A/B amplifier doesn't run as hot as usual, making it suitable for 19" rack installations. Another advantage of the SoundEngine2 is its remarkable damping factor, exceeding 2000. This translates to deep, precise bass and complete control of the bass drivers, a key contributor to the acclaimed dynamic Hegel sound. Most importantly, it minimizes distortion, akin to noise-canceling headphones, canceling out any distortion elements created within the amplifier circuits in real-time.

The C5 Series is not just about the number of audio channels or how it's used. It offers the convenience of individually switching phase for each channel and selecting different gain settings for each channel, simplifying integration into larger systems. The trigger input and output, which allows for daisy-chaining, means you can place it in a separate room without concerns about powering it on or off. The C55 is 3U tall, featuring substantial rack-mount ears that are seamlessly integrated into the amplifier's shell. When installing it in a rack, we recommend leaving 1U of space above and below. Adjustable and detachable rear mount ears are also included. If you prefer not to rack-mount it, the accessory box provides feet for versatile placement options.

In essence, the C5 Series by Hegel is the epitome of versatility and unmatched audio performance, ensuring your soundstage is always natural, smooth, and dynamically impressive.
