In this section you will find frequently asked questions about the Hegel H20. If you can not find an answer to your question, please ask your Hegel dealer, your national distributor or send us an e-mail: info@hegel.com

Where can I buy the Hegel H20?
Please check the "How to Buy" section.

Is the Hegel H20 available in different colors?
The Hegel H20 is available in the standard "Pearl silver" colour. The finish is made by blasting the solid Aluminium panels with tiny glass particles and anodizing the surface.

Can the Hegel H20 be used with other Pre Amplifiers than  Hegel?
All the different Hegel units has got a neutral sound signature, so that they can be used together with other high quality audio units from different manufacturers. However we recommend you to listen to a combination of a H20 and a P4A mk2, since this combination has got a very high performance in this price range.

Is the Hegel H20 true balanced?
The balanced inputs of the H20 are, as all the other Hegel units, using true electronically balanced inputs.

Is the patented SoundEngine amplifier technology used in the Hegel H20?
The H20 is using the new and improved version of the patented Hegel SoundEngine technology. The SoundEngine modules are laser trimmed to an extremely low distortion. The power amplifier part of the H20 is based upon technology from the Hegel H10 anniversary power amplifier.

What is the difference between the H20 and the H2Amk2?
The main difference is that the H20 uses the Next Generation FET-technology, reducing distortion and improving bass control. The output stage is also improved with new transistors. The H20 is also the first Hegel product to use our new balanced input section, were the number of components in the signal path has been much reduced. In some ways the H20 is the best amplifier Hegel has ever made. The H20 has also got an improved cabinet where the top and side panels are given the same treatment as the front panel, giving it a more impressive look.

What is the power consumption of the Hegel H20?
Because of the SoundEngine technology used in the H20, there is no need to run a high bias current in the output stage of the amplifier. The H20  will as all the other Hegel amplifiers use a minimum of power in standby mode when it is not playing music. The H20 will use about 60W of power in idle mode, the same as a normal light bulb.
