Hegel H95

The Hegel H95 is indeed an intelligent purchase.

Hegel H95

It is not just an amplifier, but also a complete streaming solution with both AirPlay and UPnP streaming.

It fully caters to the modern digital streaming generation.

Hegel H95 has built-in Spotify Connect for instantaneous and incredibly responsive music playback.

But what is intelligent today is not necessarily intelligent tomorrow.

At Hegel they want their products to last as long as possible.

That means they need to be able to change with time.

Therefore, the H95’s built-in software is upgradeable over the air, ensuring that improved functionalities and new features are delivered directly to your amplifier, with no hassle, and cost free.

While connectivity and upgradability are important, it is on the inside where the H95 really showcases its intelligence.

Today most media going to your amp is digital.

That is why they have equipped the H95 with a Digital-to-analogue converter of the highest quality – making the change from digital to analogue in a very intelligent way.

With technology crafted from the ground up and in-house by the Hegel team, they take full control of the digital data stream.

And using design developed to equip their absolute reference products, they make sure digital music is delivered in its purest form.

The result for you is blissfully natural sound, without any added artifacts, enabling you to just play louder.

Add to this their patented SoundEngine2 technology and you really get something spectacular.

The technology reduces signal distortion to levels almost immeasurable and makes certain you totally immerse yourself in your music or your movies.

Their SoundEngine2 technology also applies astonishing bass control and grip on your loudspeakers.

H95’s grip, in technical terms ‘damping factor’, is up to 20 times higher than the industry average.

This delivers a dynamic, agile, and powerful bass response, and is why 60 watts of output power is more than enough to drive challenging speakers with confidence

The H95 is not only designed to change with time, but also with your needs.

All inputs are configurable to be fixed level inputs, allowing you to easily integrate the H95 in a Home Theater or existing Multi Room system.

There is also a high-quality headphone output, a variable pre output for connecting a subwoofer or other equipment, and a sleek informative OLED display.

This makes it a perfect central ‘engine’ to your system.

There is no need to worry about future add-ons.

Changing up to Hegel’s cool design and signature sound quality, with a host of inputs and playback possibilities, will allow you to build an amazing multi-talented system. That is intelligence.

Hegel

Hegel The story begins in 1988. Bent Holter, a student at the Technical University in Trondheim (NTNU) decided to do a thesis under the original design of the transistor used in amplifiers, that would cure the problems of traditional hi-fi systems. Enemy number one was distortion. Holter somehow could not accept the fact that when we supply a simple signal to an amplifier, the output reproduces that signal plus something else; distortion produced by the electronics. Fighting distortion usually means deterioration of other parameters, including damping factor. Holter decided to break free from classic schematics and developed a project that became the basis of what we know today as SoundEngine Technology. And where does the name of the company come from? Well, during his spare time Bent played in a rock-metal band called The Hegel Band. When they needed amplifiers for concerts, he suggested building them himself. His ideas took on real shape, but it took lots of money to refine the technology. Help came from Telenor - one of the biggest players in the telecommunications industry. The early 90s were a period of initial prosperity for the brand. First, they ensured the patented solution known today as SoundEngine. Later a DAC was developed (1994) and the first CD Player came (1996). Over the next eight years, the company has steadily improved its product range and generated more profit year on year. When the financial crisis came, most companies immediately took a defensive strategy which meant cutting costs. Hegel played differently. He hired new engineers to design devices. Sometime later, brand new D/A converters were born. Today Hegel is one of the best-established brands on the Hi-Fi market. We produce integrated, pre and power amplifiers as well as CD players and some of the most modern and sophisticated D/A converters. SoundEngine Technology was just a start. Today there are six more original technical solutions in Hegel's portfolio. The company has dealers in 54 countries and its products are sold all over the world.
