Hegel H390 Integrated Amplifier – Hegel
The Performance Of Hegel’s Reference Products At A Lower Price
The Hegel H390 Integrated Amplifier provides world-class sound, jaw-dropping power and comes packed with convenient services. It offers extraordinary resolution and musical quality, typically found only in the most esoteric products, but at a reasonable price. The H390 is very much at the tip of the spear in Hegel’s pursuit of making mainstream sources sound their very best. Meaning the H390 is not just for the Audiophile. It is a product for the entire family to enjoy.
SoundEngine 2
The SoundEngine 2, in many ways, works like a noise canceling headphone. A computer inside will sample what comes into the amplifier and compares it to what comes out. The computer subtracts the difference (distortion) and then adds it into the music but in reverse phase. The result being that, without any time delay, the SoundEngine cancels out almost all errors made by the amplifier. Leaving you with the most musical and natural sound you ever have experienced.
Digital In Its Purest Form
If you aren’t using a turntable, you are probably using digital connections. Hegel designed both the analog and digital sections from the ground up and in house. The digital section in the H390 is unique in that regardless of the signal type or input, the music signal remains unchanged and untampered within the H390. Hegel calls it a “bit perfect” DA-Converter. For those interested in deep tech, Hegel even designed digital clocks that will follow the sampling frequency in the music and “down-clock” when receiving a low-resolution file. For the non-techie, the result is a far more natural and “analog” sound as well as an unbelievable soundstage and realism.
Connectivity
The H390 has Apple Airplay and UPnP streaming. Hegel offers free updates with services like Spotify Connect, IP Control, and Control4. It supports most audio formats like DSD and MQA. All inputs are configurable for volume bypass, so you can integrate in a home theater or with a Bluesound or Sonos. Almost whatever you want, you can do it with the H390.
A complete product
Great care was taken in every step of the design. From carefully selecting and matching components to using the best measurement equipment in the world. Real people gave Hegel input on how they would want to use a stereo system and that feedback was implemented in the construction of the H390, an integrated amplifier that can connect to virtually anything you like.
