Hegel H400 Streaming Amplifier

Streamlined Audio Signal Processing

The H400 is a Class AB amplifier, delivering 250W of power into 8 ohms, and is stable down to 2-ohm loads. With a remarkable damping factor of 4000, H400 ensures tight control over your speakers, providing precise and dynamic sound. H400’s dual mono construction and symmetrical layout ensure superior sound quality. The absence of an equalizer preserves signal integrity, while our SoundEngine 2 technology offers instant distortion correction during amplification. This results in a detailed, agile sound, delivering both punch and finesse while maximizing power efficiency. Experience your favorite music with a new level of clarity and richness, as the H400 faithfully reproduces every nuance and detail.

Shared Features with Reference Integrated Amplifier

The H400 incorporates many of the same advanced features found in our reference integrated amplifier, ensuring high performance and value. It includes the same Dual Mono design, the same robust streaming platform, and a high-quality bit-perfect DAC based on the one in the H600. These shared features mean that the H400 delivers similar high standards of sound quality and versatility, making it a remarkable choice for discerning listeners.

Efficiency through In-House Development

Every aspect of the H400 has been meticulously developed in-house, ensuring unparalleled quality control and cohesive design. This streamlined approach eliminates unnecessary steps and complications, allowing our engineers to focus on innovation and performance. By keeping development under one roof, we guarantee that every component and feature is perfectly integrated, enhancing overall efficiency and reliability. This in-house development strategy also allows for faster implementation of new features and improvements, ensuring the H400remains at the forefront of audio technology.

Environmentally Friendly

Built from high-quality materials and components, the H400 is designed for durability and reliability, ensuring a long life, and minimizing the need for frequent maintenance. The SoundEngine 2 technology makes the H400 energy efficient, consuming minimal power while delivering top-tier performance. This technology, and the amplifier’s auto standby feature, reduces energy waste and environmental impact without compromising sound quality.

Streamlined Visual Design

Designed with simplicity and intuitive operation in mind, the H400 features a sleek, minimalist front with two multifunctional knobs for source selection and volume control. The knobs can also be pressed to mute, pause, or navigate the device menu. The central display is clear and easy to read from a distance, showing only essential information. To maintain a clean and uncluttered appearance, the power button is discreetly located underneath the amplifier. This thoughtful design ensures that nothing distracts from the beauty of your audio setup.

Streamlined Connectivity

The H400 offers a comprehensive range of analog and digital inputs, ensuring seamless compatibility with various audio sources. Its impressive power, detail, and control means you can connect any speaker, even those very hard to drive. With automatic signal detection, the H400 instantly recognizes connected digital audio sources and switches to the correct input, eliminating the need for manual selection. All inputs can be set at a fixed high volume, enabling the use of home theatre preamps and multi-room devices. It even has a TV remote function that lets you use your TV remote to control the amplifier, making your home entertainment setup more intuitive and user-friendly.
