HEGEL H120INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER – DAC – STREAMER

Standing onthe shoulders of GIANTS, the H120 carries forward the proud history of HEGELamplifiers. The multi award winning designs that over the years have dazzledlisteners with their combination of raw dynamics and delicate naturality. TheH120 carries that legacy with it, but in a smaller and more affordable package.

"If Ihave seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants" - saidIsaac Newton in 1675. Without comparing ourselves to Isaac, we claim the samefor the H120. It is a relatively affordable integrated amplifier that would nothave been possible, were it not for its brothers leading up to its design. TheHegel H120 is a small step up from our entry level amplifiers in terms ofprice, but it is (and we refrain from the obvious quotes here) a solid step upin features and performance. The significantly larger power supply creates amore dynamic sound and for combining with large loudspeakers presenting morechallenging drive loads. The digital section is taken directly from its biggersiblings, and this is really the core of the H120. We see the typical user ofthe H120 as people who are into digital music streaming. For the money we claimthat the H120 does that better than anything else.

The digital-to-analog conversion is of the highestquality in the H120, with technology crafted from the ground up by Hegel. We take full control of the digital datastream, using technology developed from our absolute reference products,ensuring digital music delivery in its purest form. The result for you isperfectly natural sound, without any artifacts that make you want to turn thevolume down. The H120 has Apple Airplay, Spotify Connect, IP Control, Control4and upnp streaming. More features are already in progress and will be offeredat no cost, using the easy software update functionality. All inputs areconfigurable for volume bypass, so you can integrate in a home theater or with(for example) a Bluesound or Sonos. Whatever you want, you can do it with theH120.

The H120 uses the Hegel SoundEngine 2 amplifierplatform allowing a damping factor higher than 2000 together with extremely lowdistortion levels. Detailsabout the SoundEngine can be found on hegel.com. In many ways it works like anoise cancelling headphone. It compares the output of the amplifier with theinput. It detects all the sound pollution (distortion), and plays this forwardinto the speaker output, but in reverse phase. Like 1 minus 1 equals 0. Itcancels out all pollution in real time, leaving you with only the most naturalsound. The SoundEngine technology has been developed over more than 30 years, fromconception to where it is now. Millions of dollars were invested in initialdevelopment. It is what makes possible the sound performance for the money inthe H120.
