The Hegel H400 is an integrated amplifier with built-in streaming. Add speakers and it is ready to play. It succeeds the H390 and offers expanded streaming options.
It delivers 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms and is stable at 2 ohms. It uses Class AB amplification and dual mono construction. A damping factor of more than 4000 gives tight control of the speaker drivers. Hegel's SoundEngine 2 technology corrects distortion instantly during amplification. The DAC is bit-perfect.
The amp streams through AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Roon Ready, Tidal Connect, Google Cast and UPnP. Multi-room playback works through Roon, AirPlay and Google Cast. The Hegel Control App handles volume, input selection, internet radio, podcasts and media server playback. Automatic Signal Detection recognizes connected digital sources and switches to the correct input. The amp can also be controlled with a TV remote.
