Hegel H120 Integrated Amplifier – Hegel

Carrying On The Hegel Legacy At An Affordable Price
Over the years, Hegel’s amplifiers have won multiple design awards, and have dazzled listeners with their combination of raw dynamics and delicate naturality. The H120 carries that history with it, but in a smaller package and at a reasonable cost.

The Hegel H120 is a small step up from Hegel’s entry level amplifiers in terms of price, but it is a solid step up in features and performance.

The digital section is taken directly from its bigger siblings, and this is really the core of the H120, which was designed with digital music streaming in mind.

Ensuring Digital Music Delivery In Its Purest Form
The digital-to-analog conversion is of the highest quality in the H120, with technology crafted from the ground up by Hegel. Using technology developed from their absolute reference products, Hegel took full control of the digital data stream. The result for you is perfectly natural sound, without any artifacts that make you want to turn the volume down. The H120 has Apple Airplay, Spotify Connect, IP Control, Control4 and upnp streaming.

Whatever you want, you can do it with the H120.
More features are already in progress and will be offered at no cost, using the easy software update functionality. All inputs are configurable for volume bypass, so you can integrate in a home theater or with (for example) a Bluesound or Sonos.

Canceling out Sound Pollution So You’re Left With The Most Natural Sound
The H120 uses the Hegel SoundEngine 2 amplifier platform allowing a damping factor higher than 2000 together with extremely low distortion levels. In many ways the SoundEngine 2 works like a noise canceling headphone. It compares the output of the amplifier with the input. It detects all the sound pollution (distortion), and plays this forward into the speaker output, but in reverse phase. Like 1 minus 1 equals 0. It cancels out all pollution in real time, leaving you with only the most natural sound. The SoundEngine technology has been developed over more than 30 years, from conception to where it is now. Millions of dollars were invested in initial development. It is what makes possible the sound performance for the money in the H120.
