Hegel P30A Preamp

The P30A is Hegel’s reference preamplifier and can be paired with the H30A power amplifier. It was designed for separates to reduce distortion to the minimum.

Internal layout is designed in a way that makes the signal paths within the preamplifier as short as possible with the music signal only passes through two transistors and an ultra-low noise volume attenuator. This reduces the possibility of distortion coming from electrical interference.

A pair of hand matched FET’s (Field-Effect Transistors) helps limit input stage distortion. These are carefully  transistors that have the exact same values, and therefore they have no higher order harmonic distortion.

The patented SoundEngine technology eliminates any other distortions at the output stage. The P30A is fully balanced all the way through. This means you have two separate amplifiers, volume controls, and SoundEngine modules per channel. With this design, almost all leftover distortion is canceled out, and what you are left with is a signal that is as close to the original source material as possible.

A fixed level Home Theatre input allows you to integrate it into a Pre/Pro to enhance your movie matching experience.

A 3,5 mm IR-direct input and a 12V trigger output connector provides versatility for integrators.

The chassis is made of aluminium which helps to reduce noise.
