HEGEL power amplifiers are different than other power amplifiers.

The basic technology used in almost all power amplifiers on the market are more or less the same. 

Standard circuit configurations such as global feedback technology or local feedback technology are used. These standard technologies has been available for more than 30 years, and is a mature technology. This means most amplifier technologies are more or less the same.

HEGEL decided there was no point in making just another power amplifier using the standard power amplifier technology used by a lot of other audio amplifier manufacturers.

HEGEL wanted to do something different.

All HEGEL power amplifiers are divided into 2 completely separate circuit blocks: the first amplifier block will amplify the voltage and the second amplifier block will amplify the current to drive the connected speaker.

All Hegel power amplifiers are using completely separate power supplies for the voltage amplifying block and the current amplifier block. This makes sure the sensitive voltage gain block is not disturbed by the high currents flowing in the current amplifier block.

These new and innovative technologies are designed to give each separate amplifier block the best possible work conditions, and to prevent the different amplifier blocks from having any influence on each other. This gives the best possible overall sound quality.

For more information about why the sum of these new and innovative technological solutions will give better sound quality, please read about the HEGEL Audio Amplifier Technology
