A multi-channel amplifier designed for sound performance... and that doesn't cost a diamond. And yet, tailored to your needs. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it once was, but not anymore. The Hegel C5 series: 3, 4, or 5-channel power amplifiers are rack-mountable, configurable, tailored to your needs, and—most importantly—will blow you away with their sound performance. Up to 5 channels of 150 w/pc of analog amplification, with enough oomph to boogie with almost any loudspeaker on the market. Meet the Hegel C5 series.

Introducing the most versatile high-performance multi-channel amplifiers on the market - the Hegel C5 series. The C5 is available in 3 different versions, tailored to your needs. You can have it in a 3-channel, 4-channel, or 5-channel configuration. This means you can build a 5.1 or Atmos cinema using one or more C5s. Perhaps you want to bi-amp loudspeakers or use active crossovers? You could also power multiple loudspeakers in a mastering studio, a restaurant, or a home. In short, anywhere you need high-performance sound with dynamics and extremely low distortion.

As flexible as it is, the C5 amplifier series still retains the full Hegel sound. The C5 utilizes the patented SoundEngine2 technology with its many benefits. One of these is the possibility of low-bias operation, meaning the high-performance Class A/B amplifiers do not get as warm as usual, which allows for installation in a 19" rack. Another advantage of the SoundEngine2 is the very high damping factor (more than 2000). A high damping factor means deep, rich bass and complete control over the woofers. This is one of the reasons why people talk about the dynamic Hegel sound. But the most important thing is the low distortion. Hegel's patented SoundEngine2 amplifiers work almost like noise-canceling headphones. Any distortion created in the amplifier circuits is dynamically canceled out by reproducing it in negative phase. No matter how you configure the C5 series, it delivers a spectacular soundstage. Never harsh or uncomfortable. Always natural, smooth, and with incredible dynamics.

The versatility extends beyond the number of audio channels and usage possibilities. The ability to switch the phase for each channel individually or to choose between different gain settings for each channel makes it so much easier to integrate into a larger system. The trigger input and output (allowing daisy-chaining) mean you can place it in a separate room and not have to worry about turning it on or off. The C55 is 3U high and has massive rack-mount ears that are an integrated part of the amplifier chassis. When installing in a rack, we recommend a space of 1U above and below. There are also adjustable and removable ears for rear mounting. If you choose not to install it in a rack, feet are included in the accessory box. This means the C5 series can fit into any application.
