Hegel P30A Reference Stereo Preamplifier

The P30A is Hegel's reference preamplifier. The P30A uses a single pair of hand-matched FET transistors that have no higher order harmonic distortion. The internal layout is designed in a way that makes the signal paths within the preamplifier as short as possible. This reduces the possibility of distortion coming from electrical interference.

To further reduce distortion, Hegel also minimized the number of electrical components the signal passes through. In the P30A the music signal only passes through two transistors and an ultra-low noise volume attenuator. The P30A also uses Hegel's patented SoundEngine technology which actively monitors the music signal for corruptions and corrects for intermodulation distortion using a feed forward design. SoundEngine effectively removes distortion in real time as the signal is amplified.

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. The P30A is a highly versatile, extremely quiet, and natural sounding preamplifier that can be the heart of any high-end audio system.
