Where can I buy the Hegel H200?
H200 is available in many
countries.
Please use the "How to buy"
button to find the dealer
locations in your country.
Is the Hegel H200 available in different
colours?
The H200 is available in two
different colours: The standard "Pearl silver" colour
and in completely Black colour. The
Front panel finish is made by blasting the solid Aluminium front panel with tiny glass particles and anodizing the surface.
The top cover finish is brushed anodized
aluminium.
Can the H200 input source selector
and volume level be controlled from the remote control?
The H200 source selector
and volume level can be controlled from the remote control
RC2.
How many inputs does the H200
have?
The H200 has got four
different pairs of stereo
inputs: CD, Balanced, Aux and
Home Theatre. The balanced
inputs are using XLR connectors
and the CD, Aux and Home Theatre
inputs are using RCA connectors.
Can the H200 be used in a
surround sound system?
The H200 has got a stereo "Home
Theatre" input that can be used
with a surround sound system. By
selecting Home Theatre from the
remote control or from the
source selector the H200 can be
used as a power amplifier for the
main front speakers of a Home
Theatre setup. When selecting the Home Theatre
input the volume is
automatically faded up to the
maximum volume setting 99,
making the H200 a powerful Home
Theatre power amplifier.
Which CD-player should be
used together with the Hegel H200
?
The sound quality of the H200 is
so high that we recommend to use
it together with a Hegel CDP4A
CD-player. In this way you will
be able to experience the full
potential of the H200. Of course
the H200 and the CDP2A is also a
very good combination. All the different Hegel units have got a neutral sound signature, so they can
of course also be used together with
high quality audio units from
other manufacturers.
What is the difference between the
H200 and the P2A mk2 /
H2A
mk2 combination?
The
H200 is using a basic version of the
P2A mk2 active preamp
stage, combined with a H2A mk2
power amp stage. The H200 is using
the new improved version of the patented SoundEngine amplifier
technology. With two separate
cabinets the
P2A mk2 / H2A mk2 has got a
larger physical distance and
more shielding between the high
level speaker output currents
and the sensitive preamp stages. This
gives the H2A mk2 / P2A mk2
combination an even higher resolution
and dynamic range than the
H200. The H200 has got a "Home
Theatre" input that can be used
with a surround sound system.
Is the Hegel H200 using an
active preamp stage?
The preamp stage of the H200 is
using a high quality active
preamp stage based upon the
P2Amk2 preamp. This solution is
a better solution than the
passive volume stages normally
found in integrated amplifiers.
Is the Hegel H200 true balanced?
The balanced inputs of the H200 are as all the other Hegel units using true electronically balanced inputs.
Is the patented SoundEngine amplifier
technology used in the Hegel
H200?
The H200 is using the new and
improved version of the patented
Hegel SoundEngine technology,
exclusively used by Hegel. The
power amplifier part of the H200
is based upon technology from
the Hegel H2A mk2 and H4A mk2 power
amplifiers.
What is the power consumption
of the Hegel H200?
Because of the SoundEngine
technology used in the H200,
there is no need to run a high
bias current in the output stage
of the amplifier. The H200 will as all the other Hegel
amplifiers use a minimum of
power in standby mode when it is
not playing music. The H200
will use about 60W of power in
standby mode, the same as a normal
light bulb.
