Hegel H190 V Integrated Amplifier

A top-class integrated amplifier for audiophiles

Hegel has always been the benchmark for outstanding technical design and high-quality workmanship in the field of integrated amplifiers. With the H190v, the company continues its long tradition and takes the classic H190 to a completely new level. Appropriately bearing the slogan "More Music", the H190v combines exceptional performance, elegant sophistication and unparalleled versatility. This amplifier is aimed at audiophiles who are looking for an uncompromising all-in-one solution that meets the highest demands.

Timeless design with technical precision

The H190v is the heart of Hegel's portfolio of integrated amplifiers and has been designed with the utmost care and attention to detail. A solid steel housing combines a robust construction with an aesthetic aluminum front and aluminum knobs, available in both black and white. This design variety allows the amplifier to be harmoniously integrated into any living environment. The minimalist elegance of the exterior is in perfect harmony with the impressive technical equipment inside.

Technical Innovation in Focus

The H190v delivers outstanding performance that makes every musical nuance tangible. With 150 watts of Class AB power per channel at 8 ohms and an exceptionally high damping factor of 4000, the amplifier ensures precise control and dynamic music reproduction. A generously dimensioned toroidal transformer in combination with high-quality output transistors enables performance that optimally supplies even the most demanding loudspeakers.

A major innovation is the specialized power supply, which was developed specifically for the preamplifier and DAC area. This ensures a deep black background and suppresses any noise, so that the focus is entirely on the music. Every detail, every subtlety is reproduced with unprecedented precision - a feature that makes the H190v unique in its price segment.

Integrated phono preamplifier and headphone jack: For every listening preference

Hegel paid particular attention to the growing interest in vinyl records. The H190v has an integrated phono preamplifier that is specially designed for turntables with MM cartridges. This is based on the technology of the acclaimed V10 phono preamplifier and ensures a detailed, powerful and warm vinyl sound that will delight music lovers.

For an individual listening experience, the H190v also offers a first-class 6.3 mm headphone output. This is equipped with a high-quality headphone amplifier that can drive even sophisticated models. This means that audiophiles can fully enjoy an authentic sound even when listening to music at home.

Seamless networking and streaming options

The H190v is characterized by its versatility and modern connectivity. With support for AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Roon Ready and DLNA/UPnP, it opens up a wide range of possibilities for wireless music playback. Regardless of the preferred source, the amplifier transforms any room into a central location for high-fidelity sound.

In addition, the H190v is fully customizable. The volume can be individually limited to meet the needs of different environments. In addition, the programmable remote control function allows the amplifier to be controlled with most common TV remote controls. This ensures convenience and ease of use and improves the sound experience when watching TV.

Integration into smart home systems and flexible connection options

For tech-savvy users, the H190v also offers IP control options, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into smart home systems such as Control4, Crestron and Savant. The extensive selection of inputs and outputs - including fixed and variable connections for external devices such as subwoofers - allows you to create a personalized sound experience that leaves nothing to be desired.

An all-round talent for all music lovers

Whether you're a vinyl enthusiast, streaming fanatic or a lover of an immersive high-fidelity experience, the H190v meets the diverse needs of modern audiophiles. With a sophisticated DAC, integrated phono preamp, premium headphone output and a wide range of connectivity options, the H190v is more than just an amplifier: it's a complete audio solution for an uncompromising music experience.
