How is the volume controlled on the Hegel P30?
The physical volume knob sends the desired volume to a network of gigahertz-fast MOS transistors, which pass the signal through a series of resistors to achieve the desired attenuation.
What inputs are available on the Hegel P30?
The P30 features 2 balanced XLR inputs, 3 unbalanced RCA inputs and a Home Theatre input that allows it to be integrated into a home theater system.
What outputs does the Hegel P30 offer?
The preamplifier has 1 balanced XLR output and 2 unbalanced RCA outputs for connection to power amplifiers or other audio equipment.
Is the Hegel P30 compatible with remote controls?
Yes, the P30 can be controlled with the Hegel RC2 remote control and has a 3.5mm IR direct input for external control.
What is the signal-to-noise ratio of the Hegel P30?
The P30 has a signal-to-noise ratio of over 130 dB in balanced mode, providing very clean sound reproduction.
How is the Hegel P30 turned on?
The unit is turned on with the front panel button; after turning on, there is a delay of about 60 seconds while the volume control system is calibrated.
Can the Hegel P30 be integrated into a home theater system?
Yes, the P30 has a Home Theatre input that allows it to be integrated into a home theater system.
What technologies are used in the Hegel P30 to reduce distortion?
The P30 uses patented SoundEngine technology and hand-selected FET transistors to minimize harmonic distortion and provide natural sound reproduction.
