Hegel Music Systems
Hegel, a prestigious Norwegian brand in the Hi-Fi industry, specialises in integrated amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, and power amplifiers, CD players, and advanced D/A converters (DACs). The company conducts extensive research and designs its own DAC converter boards to deliver superior high-resolution analog audio from digital sources.
Hegel's "organic sound" promises audio reproduction identical to the original recording—nothing added, nothing taken out. Their systems aim to deliver a live studio experience, born from over a decade of R&D and innovative technologies.
Hegel Key Technologies
SoundEngine: This patented error-canceling system prevents distortion within the amplifier, preserving the music signal's original detail and dynamic range. It combines Class A and AB amplifier benefits without their drawbacks.
DualAmp Technology: By separating voltage and current gain stages, Hegel optimises each for its specific task, leading to lower distortion and higher dynamic range.
DualPower Technology: Independent power supplies for different amplifier sections prevent high speaker currents from interfering with sensitive input stages, resulting in cleaner sound and greater dynamic range.
USB Connectivity: Hegel products act as high-quality external computer sound cards, routing all computer audio through the system. This significantly reduces noise and delivers a more dynamic and less distorted sound.
Master Clock: Hegel CD players feature a high-precision, low-jitter master clock strategically placed on the DAC board for optimal timing and sound quality.
SynchroDAC: This new synchronised upsampling technology, combined with their Direct MasterClock, minimises jitter and conversion errors for higher resolution and less distortion.
Hegel's meticulous engineering ensures an un-compromised, natural, and engaging listening experience, faithfully reproducing music as it was intended.
