Available in three, four or five-channel configurations, the C5 series lets you build a custom audio setup, whether it’s a 5.1 or Atmos theatre system, bi-amping speakers, or powering multiple speakers in a studio, restaurant or home. The Hegel C53, a three-channel model, provides the perfect solution for those looking to deliver dynamic, ultra-low-distortion sound in a compact, adaptable setup.

Key Features of the Hegel C53 Modular Amplifier

• Modular Three-Channel Design: Ideal for customisable setups.
• Advanced SoundEngine2 Technology: Patented tech for reduced heat and deep bass control.
• Gain and Phase Adjustments: Tailor the sound for each channel to suit any environment.

Powerful Performance with SoundEngine2 Technology

The C5 series amplifiers are built with Hegel’s patented SoundEngine2 technology, offering key benefits like low bias operation for reduced heat, making them ideal for rack installations. With a damping factor of over 2,000, the C5 series delivers precise, powerful bass and total control over the bass drivers—hallmarks of the signature Hegel sound. SoundEngine2 also uses a dynamic distortion-cancelling system, similar to noise-cancelling headphones, ensuring smooth, natural sound with incredible dynamics and clarity.

Complete Versatility

Each C5 amplifier channel offers individual phase selection and gain control, making it simple to integrate into larger, more complex setups. Whether for a multi-room audio system or a dedicated home theatre, the C5 series adapts effortlessly to your requirements. A trigger input and output allow for easy daisy-chaining, so you can control the amplifier even from a separate room without hassle.

Ready for Any Setup

Designed for flexibility, the C53 is a 3U rack unit with robust integrated rackmount ears, adjustable rear mount supports, and optional feet if you prefer standalone placement. To ensure optimal cooling in rack installations, a 1U space above and below the unit is recommended. The C5 series fits seamlessly into any audio setup, whether in a rack or on display.

The Hegel C5 series is crafted for those who demand precision, power, and flexibility in a single, compact package. Choose the Hegel C53 or another model in the series for an audio experience defined by ultra-low distortion, deep bass and Hegel’s signature natural, dynamic sound.
