Where can I buy the Hegel H2A mk2?
Please check the "How to Buy" section.

Is the Hegel H2A mk2 available in different colors?
The Hegel products are available in the standard "Pearl silver" colour. The finish is made by blasting the solid Aluminium front panel with tiny glass particles and anodizing the surface. Knobs, side panels and top cover are brushed anodized silver.

Can the Hegel H2A mk2 be used with other Pre Amplifiers than the Hegel P2A mk2 and the P4A mk2?
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 H2A mk2 and a P2A mk2, since this combination has got a very high performance in this price range.

Is the Hegel H2A mk2 true balanced?
The balanced inputs of the H2A mk2 are as all the other Hegel units using true electronically balanced inputs.

Is the patented SoundEngine amplifier technology used in the Hegel H2A mk2?
The H2A mk2 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 H2A mk2 is based upon technology from the Hegel H4A mk2 reference power amplifier.

What is the difference between the H2A mk2 and the H200? The main difference is that the H2A mk2 is a dedicated power amplifier, while the H200 is an integrated amplifier. The H2A mk2 has got the possibility for true balanced operation together with a true balanced pre amplifier like the Hegel P2A mk2. This gives the P2A mk2 / H2A mk2 combination an even better resolution, dynamic range and power control than the H200.

What is the power consumption of the Hegel H2A mk2?
Because of the SoundEngine technology used in the H2A mk2, there is no need to run a high bias current in the output stage of the amplifier. The H2A mk2  will as all the other Hegel amplifiers use a minimum of power in standby mode when it is not playing music. The H2A mk2 will use about 60W of power in standby mode, the same as a normal light bulb.
