The Hegel H200 is a dual-mono stereo integrated amplifier. It delivers 200 W per channel into 8 ohms and 350 W per channel into 4 ohms. Hegel built it to drive demanding speaker loads, including low-impedance speakers down to 2 ohms.
Left and right channels each have their own toroidal transformer and power supply circuit. Hegel's SoundEngine technology uses feed-forward distortion cancellation to remove crossover distortion. The damping factor is above 1000, which gives firm control of low-frequency drivers.
It is a purely analog amplifier with no built-in DAC or phono stage. Digital sources need an external DAC, and turntables need a separate phono preamp. It has balanced XLR and single-ended RCA inputs. A fixed-level Home Theater input bypasses the volume control, so an AV receiver or processor can set system volume while the H200 powers the main left and right speakers.
