Our demonstration H200 is arriving any day.
The H200 is built for listeners who want a connected amplifier with the power, control, and intelligence to bring the whole system together. Together with the A200, it represents one of two listening paths: one connected, one fully analog. The H200 is The Connected: an integrated amplifier with streaming, DAC, MM phono input, headphone output, USB drive playback, and 150 watts of output power per channel. It brings flexibility and highend performance together in one powerful, elegant component. But the H200 is not built around features for their own sake. Every part of it is made to work together, with the amplifier at the center and the music as the priority.
At the heart of the H200 is the powerful 150W analog Class A/B amplifier section. However, the power rating only tells part of the story. What matters just as much is how the amplifier behaves when driving real loudspeakers with real music. The H200 uses Hegel’s SoundEngine2 technology to reduce distortion in real time. Instead of correcting errors after they have already passed through the amplifier, Sound-Engine2 detects distortion where it occurs and cancels it before it can travel further through the signal path. Combined with stability down to 2-ohm loads, the result is an amplifier that remains clean, composed, and controlled, even when the music becomes complex or the loudspeaker load becomes demanding. A damping factor of more than 4000 gives the H200 firm control over the loudspeaker drivers. Bass notes start and stop with precision. Rhythms become easier to follow. The entire presentation gains clarity because low-frequency energy is kept in order. This is not control for its own sake. It is control in service of the music.
Although the H200 is built for streaming and digital playback, its foundation is still a serious analog amplifier. It includes a balanced XLR input, two unbalanced RCA inputs, fixed and variable line level outputs, and a high-quality headphone output for private listening. This gives external DACs, CD players, and other components connected through analog inputs a proper place in the system. The H200 may be connected, but at its core it remains a serious analog amplifier.
The H200 includes a dedicated Moving Magnet phono input based on the MM section of our standalone V10 phono stage, using hand-matched FET transistor gain stages together with carefully selected op-amps. Designed for low noise, precision, and musicality, it is not a checklist feature, but a high-performance input we are happy to recommend.
