The H190v is an integrated amplifier with built-in DAC from Hegel, sitting above the H120 and H150 with considerably greater output power and an extraordinary damping factor. The H190v brings Hegel's more accomplished current engineering to a comprehensive integrated solution.
Key specs that matter
One balanced XLR input and two single-ended RCA inputs are provided. Output power is 150W into 8 ohms - double the H120/H150's 75W. Frequency response spans an extraordinary 5Hz to 100,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is under 100dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under an exceptionally low 0.01%, and an extraordinary damping factor exceeding 4,000 - double the H120/H150's already remarkable figure. At 120 x 430 x 410mm and 14.2kg, the H190v represents Hegel's more substantial current integrated amplifier commitment.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptional control reflecting the extraordinary damping factor exceeding 4,000, combined with the substantial 150W output and built-in DAC functionality covering digital sources directly.
Pairing
The built-in DAC covers digital sources directly without needing a separate outboard converter, and the extraordinary damping factor suits the most demanding, revealing loudspeaker loads.
Alternatives
Hegel's own H120 and H150 offer more accessible alternatives within the same broader integrated amplifier catalogue at more modest output.
