Product Description

The Hegel H390 integrated amplifier is a REBEL by offering much of the performance of our Reference products, albeit at a lower price. A REBEL that in one integrated product offers the same as others do in two or three. A REBEL that provides world-class sound, jaw-dropping power and comes packed with convenient services. Nicknaming the H390 “Robin Hood” is a bit bold, you may think. After all, it isn’t pocket money and we are not giving it away to the poor. But it is a rebellion against the established. It is a rebellion because it offers extraordinary resolution and musical quality, typically found only in the most esoteric products, but at a reasonable price. It is a rebellion against the establishment of “forcing” consumers into a user interface defined by the amplifier/streamer manufacturer. The Hegel H390 integrated amplifier is very much at the tip of the spear in Hegel’s pursuit of making mainstream sources sound their very best. Meaning the H390 is not just for the Audiophile. It is a product for the entire family to enjoy.

At the heart of the H390 is Hegel’s patented SoundEngine 2 amplifier section. The SoundEngine 2, in many ways, works like a noise canceling headphone. A computer inside will sample what comes into the amplifier and compares it to what comes out. The computer subtracts the difference (distortion) and then add it into the music but in reverse phase. The result being that, without any time delay, the SoundEngine cancels out almost all errors made by the amplifier. Leaving you with the most musical and natural sound you ever have experienced. Then there is digital. If not using a turntable, you are probably using digital connections. Hegel designs both the analog and digital sections from, the ground up and in house. The digital section in the H390 is unique in that regardless of the signal type or input, the music signal remains unchanged and untampered with in the Hegel H390. We call it a “bit perfect” DA-Converter. This is digital in its purest form. For those interested in deep tech, we even design digital clocks that will follow the sampling frequency in the music and “down-clock” when receiving a low-resolution file. For the non-techie, the result is a far more natural and “analog” sound as well as an unbelievable soundstage and realism.

Finally, let’s talk about connectivity. The H390 has Apple Airplay and UPnP streaming. We offer free updates with services like Spotify Connect, IP Control, Control4, and Roon. It supports most audio formats like DSD and MQA. All inputs are configurable for volume bypass, so you can integrate in a home theater or with a Bluesound or Sonos. Almost whatever you want, you can do it with the H390. The Hegel H390 is a complete product. Great care has been taken in every step of the design. From carefully selecting and matching components to using the best measurement equipment in the world, in combination with our own ears. Real people gave us input on how they would want to use a stereo system. You can connect virtually anything you like. We call it Robin Hood because it takes strengths from our reference products and offers at a lower price.

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.
