Hegel P30

P30 este cel mai bun preamplificator construit vreodata de catre Hegel. Cu noile tehnologii dezvoltate special de catre producatorul norvegian si cu piesele atent selectionate si imperecheate manual, P30 este gata sa concureze in liga mare, cu cele mai bune preamplificatoare din lume, indiferent de gama de pret.
In ciuda aparentelor, preamplificatoarele sunt printre cele mai delicate si dificil de proiectat aparate audio. In acelasi timp, rolul lor este esential si foarte important pentru sunetul sistemului audio.

Preamplificatoarele opereaza cu semnal de nivel mic si orice distorsiuni sau interferente pot avea efecte majore in rezultatul final. Controlul volumului este unul dintre punctele cheie, iar P 30 este o adevarata capodopera in acest sens. Butonul de volum, in sine, este folosit doar pentru a seta volumul dorit, semnalul este prelucrat de o retea de tranzistori MOS care dirijeaza semnalul catre o retea de rezistente de inalta calitate. De aici, semnalul merge direct catre amplificatorul de putere. Pentru prima data, Hegel a folosit tehnologia SoundEngine intr-un preamplificator de linie. Traseul de semnal din preamplificator este redus la minim, semnalul trece doar prin doi tranzistori si 1-3 rezistente, intre intrarea si iesirea din P30.

Sunetul lui P30 poate fi descris doar prin adjectivele "organic" si "natural".
P30 are doua perechi de intrari balansate (XLR) si trei perechi nebalansate (RCA), plus o intrare de tip HomeTheater utila pentru integrarea intr-un sistem Home-Cinema.

Wojciech Pacula ( 6 Moons ): "The Hegel system is quite a chameleon whose presentation reflect the recordings. Yet there is something dominant like the fingerprint of superior technology. That fingerprint is fullness and maturity. Despite its enormous power rating, the result is not a flamboyant or ruthless sound. The bass is an integral part of the whole and not running off on its own. I don’t believe there are loudspeakers beyond the Hegel’s power capacity starting with the Franco Serblin Ktêma through the German Physiks HRS 120 Carbon to the Ascendo System ZF3 S.E. and Avalons ending with the Sonus Faber Elipsa and Stradivari. "

Marcin Olszewski ( Sound Rebels ): "Listening to the Hegel P30 + H30 was truly a pleasure. For a reasonable price (in High End!) the set offered incredible drive combine with a tube’esque timbre, while having enough braw and current that only a marble tombstone could put it in embarrassment. Inside the simple and modest enclosures of the Hegel true audiophile gems reside, which will shine fully when paired with the rest of the system at least equally good, and when good XLR cables are used to connect them. It will not be bad using RCA, but who would want to use only half of such a system? And this is only the first step to happiness according to Bent Holter, because only using two H30 in mono mode we can feel like the Odin during a feast in the mythical Valhalla."
