Product Description

The Hegel H400 replaces the H390 as the newest high-value proposition for the customer who wants to drive any speaker, connect any source, and stream any way, without compromising on quality. Our goal has been to create an all-in-one solution that doesn’t break the bank and still meets our highest aspirations for audio performance and user friendliness. In our maybe not-so-humble opinion, we believe we have managed just that. With 250 watts of power, a high-end DAC, and a very advanced streaming section, the H400 only needs a good set of speakers to be a complete audiophile system. Oh, and for the first time ever, we’ve made a Hegel Control App. We hope you enjoy it!

H400 – Streamliner

The Hegel H400 amplifier, affectionately nicknamed Streamliner, is a masterpiece of streamlined design and performance. The H400 is engineered to deliver exceptional audio quality while maximizing efficiency and enhancing the user experience. Whether you are an audiophile or a casual listener, the H400 promises a remarkable listening journey.

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 H400 remains 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.

Streaming and Control App

The H400 is optimized for simplicity, supporting popular streaming platforms such as AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Roon Ready, Tidal Connect, Google CastTM, and UPnP. Users can control the amplifier through these services directly. Additionally, our Hegel Control App provides volume and input control, and access to internet radio, podcasts, and media server playback, enhancing the overall user experience. Whether you are streaming your favourite playlist or exploring new podcasts, the H400 makes it easy and enjoyable.

Multi-Room Audio

The H400 supports multi-room audio via Roon, AirPlay, and Google Cast, enabling synchronized music playback in different areas of your home. Imagine having the same high-quality audio in every room, seamlessly integrated with your smart home system. Enhance your home entertainment experience with the flexibility and convenience of the H400.

Brand

Hegel

Established at the Technical University in Trondheim, Norway, in 1988, Hegel Music Systems is a revolutionary in the audio industry. Unlike other audio manufacturers, Hegel is as committed to developing new technology as it is in producing new products. It’s recognized worldwide as one of the leading brands in the hi-fi market, particularly for its award-winning integrated, pre, and power amplifiers.

Virtually all Hegel innovation began with the goal of reducing distortion, then fighting the common results of those efforts like dampened sound. Eventually those efforts resulted in the SoundEngine Technology behind most of their products. Enjoy the best in sound with their power amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, integrated amplifiers, CD players and C/A converters. Dealers in over 54 countries, along with the many product awards, attest to the quality of their products.

Chosen as the winner of the 2013 Golden Hear by the Absolute Sound, the Hegel H300 has since inspired two successors: the H390 and H190. The H390 integrated amplifier delivers reference-quality sound at an affordable price. It includes patented SoundEngine technology that works similar to noise canceling headphones to eliminate distortion and errors. The H190 is optimized for streaming music through DLNA streaming capabilities, a DAC converter, and enough power to fill any speaker on the market.

As a nationally recognized leader in the field of high-end audio and home theater, Overture is a proud dealer of Hegel Music Systems, selling customers the best music streamers from Hegel Music Systems in Sales Tax Free Delaware.
