Hegel H600 Integrated Amplifier

The Hegel H600 is the reference integrated amplifier from Hegel. With its 303 watts in 8 ohms, a damping factor of 4000, and 2 ohms drive capability, this powerhouse of an amplifier can drive any speaker with confidence and ease. The Hegel H600 is a dual mono design, bringing it as close as possible to the performance of two mono amps in a single box. It also boasts a state-of-the-art preamplifier with the extremely precise volume attenuator found in the reference P30A amplifier.

All electronic circuitry is designed in-house, and Hegel only use the best-quality components. This gives unprecedented control over the amplification process. When Hegel combine this with their SoundEngine2 correction technology, we are left with an audio signal that is as close to the original recording as possible; the result is an immensely wide and deep soundstage with incredible dynamic range and tremendous bass control. This amplifier reveals all the details and nuances in the music. All you have to do is connect a pair of really good speakers of your choice.

The Hegel H600’s D/A Converter is a bit-perfect design, offering pure audio fidelity without any resampling or  upsampling. The DAC has a large, dedicated power supply that ensures uncontaminated and stable performance, and it is shielded by a thick steel plate so there is no interference from other electronics inside the amplifier. The result is a cutting-edge D/A converter with incredible resolution and smoothness.
