The H120 is an integrated amplifier from Hegel, a well-established Norwegian manufacturer known for accomplished feed-forward amplifier engineering, built with a remarkable damping factor. The H120 brings Hegel's considered engineering to a complete integrated solution.
Key specs that matter
One balanced XLR input and two single-ended RCA inputs are provided. Output power is 75W into 8 ohms. Frequency response spans an extraordinary 5Hz to 100,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is under 100dB, with a remarkable damping factor exceeding 2,000 - an exceptional figure indicating outstanding control over connected loudspeaker driver movement. At 100 x 430 x 350mm and 12kg, the H120 maintains a manageable integrated amplifier footprint.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptional control reflecting the remarkable damping factor exceeding 2,000, combined with the extraordinarily wide 5Hz-100kHz bandwidth, consistent with Hegel's broader considered Norwegian engineering standards.
Pairing
The remarkable damping factor exceeding 2,000 suits demanding, revealing loudspeaker loads directly.
Alternatives
Hegel's own H150 offers a related model with matching output power within the same broader integrated amplifier catalogue.
