The H30A is a formidable stereo power amplifier from Hegel, built with staggering output power and an extraordinary damping factor. The H30A represents Hegel's most ambitious current statement in power amplifier engineering.

Key specs that matter

Input impedance is 20,000 ohms balanced or 10,000 ohms single-ended. Output power is a staggering 1,100W into 8 ohms - among the highest output figures available in any commercial stereo power amplifier. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 100dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under an exceptionally low 0.003% at 100% global feedback. Maximum power consumption is a modest 120W relative to the staggering output power - suggesting efficient Class D amplifier technology. Damping factor exceeds an extraordinary 500 in mono mode. At 240 x 430 x 575mm and 47.4kg, the H30A represents Hegel's absolute current flagship power-amplifier engineering ambition.

Sound and use context

Expect extraordinary dynamic authority reflecting the staggering 1,100W output combined with the extraordinary over-500 damping factor, representing Hegel's most accomplished current power-amplifier engineering ambition.

Pairing

The staggering 1,100W output handles the most demanding loudspeaker loads with substantial headroom to spare.

Alternatives

Hegel's own A200 and H200 integrated amplifiers offer alternatives combining preamplification and power amplification within the same broader catalogue.
