Designing the P20 was not a task we took lightly. Many of the ideas and concepts were taken from its bigger brother. Although scaled-down, many of the good characteristics remain - the enormous soundstage, the deep rhythmic bass response, the perfect timing... In short, the sense of being there with the performers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.hegel.com\/images\/products\/p20\/P20Front.jpg\" alt=\"Hegel P20\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCrafted with Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 1.8em;\"\u003eThe P20 comes with a high-quality system remote control, milled out of one solid piece of aluminum. It has the same bead blasted and anodized surface finish as the preamplifier itself. You can really feel the quality of each part of the P20; not only hear it. There is a total of 5 regular inputs. Both balanced and unbalanced. In addition, a special Home Theatre input allows integration in Home Theatre systems. Finally, there are both balanced and unbalanced outputs as well as a fixed line-level output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.hegel.com\/images\/products\/p20\/P20Angle.jpg\" alt=\"Hegel P20\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDelicacy, Dynamics, and Detail Combined\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 1.8em;\"\u003eThe idea behind the P20 was, as mentioned, to offer a more affordable entry into our line of separates. But most of all, it was to set a new standard of price and performance in preamplifiers. Something we think we have achieved. The preamplifier is perhaps the most delicate unit in a sound system. Because the signal levels are so low, even the tiniest levels of noise or distortion smear the image and mask the small details that enliven the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg id=\"vjzoomvjzoom6a3974614fbb5\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hegel.com\/images\/products\/p20\/P20Back.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e(hover mouse for zoom)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInnovation for Pure Sound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 1.8em;\"\u003eIn designing the P20, we achieved the highest quality of sound at such a low price point by using brand new technologies, such as Silicon Germanium transistors. In addition, we implemented high-frequency components that were not originally designed for audio, and use them in ways that had never been done before. The result is an open and natural sounding preamplifier at a very competitive price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.hegel.com\/images\/products\/p20\/P20Set.jpg\" alt=\"Hegel P20\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemote control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Volume, source and mute controlled by the Hegel RC8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x XLR balanced, 4 x RCA unbalanced and Home Theatre inputs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x XLR balanced, 1 x RCA unblanced and 1 x RCA recording outputs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignal to noise ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e More than 130 dB balanced mode\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrosstalk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Less than -100 dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Less than 0.005%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntermodulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Less than 0.01% (19 kHz + 20 kHz)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\/weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 cm x 43 cm x 30 cm (HxWxD), weight 10 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\/weight US:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3,2\" x 17\" x 12\" (HxBxD), weight 22 lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eAVAILABLE AS CLICK AND STORE COLLECT ONLY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hegel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58318512914816,"sku":null,"price":2350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1002\/6926\/1184\/files\/Screenshot2026-06-22at18.45.27.png?v=1782150383","url":"https:\/\/thespinningroomhifi.co.uk\/products\/hegel-p20-preamplifier-1","provider":"The Spinning Room Hifi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
