HEGEL H190v INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER AND STREAMER

H190V

Hegel has consistently set the benchmark for excellence in integrated amplifier design. The H190V continues this tradition with an evolution of the classic H190 amplifier. Aptly nicknamed "More Music," the H190V elevates our best-selling product of all time to new heights, offering a perfect blend of power, refinement, and versatility. Positioned at the heart of our integrated amplifier lineup, the H190V is designed to cater to audiophiles who seek an all-in-one solution without compromise.

Crafted with precision and minimalist elegance, the H190V is housed in a solid steel chassis featuring a thick aluminum front and aluminum knobs. Available in both black and white, the amplifier complements any interior aesthetic. However, underneath its minimalist exterior, the H190V is packed with advanced features. Under the hood, it delivers a formidable punch. With 150W class AB power at 8 Ohms, a damping factor of 4000, and a large toroidal transformer paired with high-quality output transistors, this amplifier provides power and precision in equal measure. A dedicated and improved power supply for the preamp and DAC section creates a pitch-black background, ensuring that the focus remains on the music, where every nuance is delivered with precision and control. The H190V offers a taste of high-end sophistication at a sensible price point.

By incorporating a state-of-the-art phono preamplifier into the H190V, users can connect turntables with MM cartridges directly to the amplifier. The phono input is a scaled-down version of our highly acclaimed V10 phono preamplifier, delivering a detailed, expansive, and powerful sound that breathes new life into any vinyl collection. For those who appreciate a personal listening experience, the H190V boasts a 6.3mm headphone output with a high-quality dedicated headphone amplifier. Capable of driving even the most demanding headphones, this feature ensures that every nuance of your music is faithfully reproduced. The inclusion of a comprehensive list of streaming options further enhances the amplifier's versatility. With support for AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Roon Ready, and DLNA/UPnP, the H190V transforms your space into a hub for seamless music playback.

The H190V is highly customizable to ensure it suits any environment. The volume can be limited to match your maximum volume preference. With our remote-control feature, you can program the amplifier to respond to common TV remotes, eliminating the need to use two remotes and making it easier for all household members to enjoy great TV sound. Most inputs can also be set as a fixed high-level Home Theater input, making it easy to combine the H190V with surround receivers or multi-room devices. For more advanced users, the H190V features IP control for smart home integration with brands like Control4, Crestron, and Savant. Additionally, it offers a variety of inputs and both fixed and variable outputs for connecting external devices, such as subwoofers, providing a customizable audio experience.

Whether you are a vinyl aficionado, a streaming enthusiast, or someone who simply appreciates the immersive power of high-fidelity audio, the H190V is the perfect companion, delivering an unparalleled listening experience that exceeds expectations. The H190V is more than just an integrated amplifier; it's a complete audio solution. With a high-end DAC, an exceptional phono stage, a top-tier headphone output, and an array of streaming options, the H190V is designed for those who crave more music.
