Its exceptionally high damping factor also gives it impressive grip over a wide range of loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e75W Class AB Amplification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAt the heart of the H150 is a custom Class AB amplifier design incorporating Hegel’s patented SoundEngine 2 technology. Power output is rated at 75 watts per channel into 8 ohms, while the amplifier remains stable into loads as low as 2 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMore importantly, the H150 offers a damping factor of greater than 2000, giving it excellent control over connected loudspeakers and particularly strong bass definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoundEngine 2 Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHegel’s SoundEngine 2 technology is designed to reduce distortion dynamically without relying on conventional global negative feedback. By correcting distortion locally within the amplifier stages, Hegel aims to preserve musical detail, dynamics and timing while maintaining very low noise and distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe result is a clean, controlled presentation that remains natural and engaging rather than sounding overly processed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Performance Internal DAC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe H150 features a custom-designed four-layer DAC architecture inspired by Hegel’s more expensive digital products. The digital section is designed to minimise jitter and electrical noise while preserving low-level information from both connected digital sources and the internal streaming platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis means the H150 can act as the digital hub of a complete hi-fi system without requiring a separate external DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Music Streaming\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBuilt-in network streaming gives direct access to a wide range of popular services and platforms, including: Spotify Connect, Spotify Lossless, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Roon Ready, UPnP, Internet Radio and Podcasts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe H150 supports network audio up to 24-bit\/192kHz, making it suitable for high-resolution streaming and locally stored music libraries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHegel Control App\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Hegel Control app provides convenient control over volume, input selection, Internet Radio, Podcasts and USB-connected music libraries.

A compatible MM turntable can connect directly to the H150 without requiring an additional phono preamplifier, making it easy to combine vinyl playback with modern streaming in one system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced XLR Input\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAlongside its conventional RCA analogue input, the H150 includes a true electronically balanced XLR input. This allows higher-end source components with balanced outputs to connect directly and gives the amplifier greater flexibility within more ambitious systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Digital Connectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe H150 provides a useful range of digital connections, including: 1 x Coaxial S\/PDIF input, 2 x Optical S\/PDIF inputs, 1 x USB-B computer input, 1 x USB-A input for storage devices\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSB Music Playback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA rear USB-A input allows music to be played directly from a USB flash drive or powered hard disk. Libraries of up to around 10,000 tracks can be browsed using the Hegel Control app, giving the H150 another convenient way to access locally stored music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTV-Friendly Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOne of the optical inputs is optimised for television use, and the H150 can automatically wake and select the relevant source when it detects an incoming digital signal. Support for common TV remote control codes also allows compatible television remotes to control volume and power, helping the H150 integrate naturally into a living-room system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone Output and Variable Line Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA dedicated 6.3mm headphone output allows private listening without additional equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe variable RCA line output can be used to connect an active subwoofer or external power amplifier, giving the H150 useful expansion options as your system develops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Hegel Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDespite its substantial amplifier section, the H150 measures just 35cm deep, making it easier to accommodate than many full-size integrated amplifiers. Its thick aluminium front panel, precision-machined controls and central OLED display give it a clean, understated appearance, while display brightness can be dimmed or switched off entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAvailable in Black or White, the H150 fits comfortably into both traditional hi-fi systems and more contemporary interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eClass AB integrated streaming amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e2 x 75W into 8 ohms \/ Stable into 2-ohm loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHegel SoundEngine 2 technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDamping factor greater than 2000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHigh-performance built-in DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMoving magnet phono stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBalanced XLR analogue input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDAC Loop capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHeadphone output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOLED display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAvailable in Black or White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerious Hegel Performance in a More Accessible Package\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Hegel H150 offers an unusually complete combination of amplification, streaming and connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIts 75W output may appear modest on paper, but its high damping factor, 2-ohm stability and SoundEngine 2 technology give it the control required to drive a wide range of loudspeakers with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor customers looking for a clean, powerful and highly flexible all-in-one amplifier for streaming, vinyl and digital sources, the H150 is an excellent foundation for a serious modern hi-fi system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hegel","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":56183965254009,"sku":"H150-Black","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":56183965286777,"sku":"H150-White","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/6925\/8475\/files\/H150-Black-2.jpg?v=1762951018","url":"https:\/\/www.weybridge-audio.co.uk\/products\/hegel-h150-streaming-amplifier","provider":"Weybridge Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
