STEREO PREMIUM ANLAGE 12/2022

HEGEL H390, € 5995,-

New in exhibition

The H390 is a REBEL by offering much of the performance of our Reference products, albeit at a lower price. A REBEL that in one integrated product offers the same as others do in two or three. A REBEL that provides world-class sound, jaw-dropping power and comes packed with convenient services.

Nicknaming the H390 "Robin Hood" is a bit bold, you may think. After all, it isn't pocket money and we are not giving it away to the poor. But it is a rebellion against the established. It is a rebellion because it offers extraordinary resolution and musical quality, typically found only in the most esoteric products, but at a reasonable price.

It is a rebellion against the establishment of "forcing" consumers into a user interface defined by the amplifier/streamer manufacturer. The H390 is very much at the tip of the spear in Hegel's pursuit of making mainstream sources sound their very best. Meaning the H390 is not just for the Audiophile. It is a product for the entire family to enjoy.

At the heart of the H390 is Hegel's patented SoundEngine 2 amplifier section. The SoundEngine 2, in many ways, works like a noise canceling headphone. A computer inside will sample what comes into the amplifier and compares it to what comes out. The computer subtracts the difference (distortion) and then add it into the music but in reverse phase. The result being that, without any time delay, the SoundEngine cancels out almost all errors made by the amplifier. Leaving you with the most musical and natural sound you ever have experienced.

Then there is digital. If not using a turntable, you are probably using digital connections. Hegel designs both the analog and digital sections from, the ground up and in house. The digital section in the H390 is unique in that regardless of the signal type or input, the music signal remains unchanged and untampered with in the H390. We call it a "bit perfect" DA-Converter. This is digital in its purest form. For those interested in deep tech, we even design digital clocks that will follow the sampling frequency in the music and "down-clock" when receiving a low-resolution file. For the non-techie, the result is a far more natural and "analog" sound as well as an unbelievable soundstage and realism.

Finally, let's talk about connectivity. The H390 has Apple Airplay and UPnP streaming. We offer free updates with services like Spotify Connect, IP Control, and Control4. It supports most audio formats like DSD and MQA. All inputs are configurable for volume bypass, so you can integrate in a home theater or with a Bluesound or Sonos. Almost whatever you want, you can do it with the H390.

The H390 is a complete product. Great care has been taken in every step of the design. From carefully selecting and matching components to using the best measurement equipment in the world, in combination with our own ears. Real people gave us input on how they would want to use a stereo system. You can connect virtually anything you like. We call it Robin Hood because it takes strengths from our reference products and offers at a lower price.

ACOUSTIC ENERGY AE 320

With the new Acoustic Energy AE 320 floorstanding loudspeaker, we are expanding the portfolio of the AE 300 series, which was successfully presented in 2018. The AE 320 as a real 3-way loudspeaker is flanked by the excellent floorstanding loudspeaker AE 309 and the compact loudspeaker AE 300.

The slim floorstanding loudspeaker AE 320 with its compact dimensions is ideal for medium and large rooms. Three 130mm woofers or mid-range speakers made of ceramic-aluminum of the latest generation are used for the best sound quality. The specially developed chassis are characterized by dynamic, powerful reproduction with improved radiation behavior, precise bass and very good efficiency.

The 28mm aluminum tweeter offers high efficiency and low resonance to reduce distortion. However, the main advantage of this new development is the radiation behavior. The coupling of the midrange and the tweeter thus offers a wider sweet spot in your listening environment.

The stable 18 mm tight MDF housing consists of patented housing reinforcement, which is derived from the excellent Reference series. The aim is to reduce the housing resonances and to create a stable sound image in the room. The result of the latest chassis technology and the housing construction is a slim, dynamic, powerful loudspeaker with excellent sound quality and optical elegance for the discerning film fan and music listener.

The available colors: high gloss white, high gloss black and walnut veneer

Ready for demonstration, please make an appointment. Thanks very much.

HEGEL V10

The Hegel V10 is a brand-new take on an old technology. With 30 years' experience designing state-of-the-art discrete transistor circuits, we have built a phono preamplifier like no other. It is neutral, dynamic, and exceptionally revealing. We have used all our knowledge in amplification and applied it to one goal - To reach down into the record and reveal every bit of information. The V10 is designed to capture the sound. To get you closer to the music. To get you into the groove.

Hegel V10

Listening to vinyl is a tactile experience. You carefully open the album jacket, remove the record from the inner sleeve, inspect for dust or scratches, place it on the platter, and slowly let the needle drop to let the sound out. It is all about you and your music, selected for exactly this moment. With the V10 we aim to make this special experience even better. Developed from the ground up and utilizing truly clever and unique technologies, the V10 will give you an unprecedented transparency and soundscape - Making the music you hear as tangible and real as the record it is pressed into.

Hegel V10

We achieve this because everything on the V10 is designed with the sole purpose of making your music sound as good as possible. The chassis is divided into two compartments, physically separating the power supplies from the sensitive amplification circuitry. There is simply no detectable interference between the two parts. For the best possible connection, we have fitted the V10 with gold-plated terminals, balanced XLR outputs, and a solid custom grounding screw. On the all-important input stage, we have used ultra-low-noise discrete JFET transistors for both the Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) input. Eliminating external noise is especially important when using sensitive low output MC cartridges. That is why we have fitted the MC input with four such transistors connected in parallel. Making the input completely silent and stopping any bias current feedback to the cartridge coil.

Hegel V10

The input signal feeds into equally silent amplifier circuits, where both the MM and the MC gain stages use ultra-low-noise power supplies built with discrete bipolar transistors to keep the signal noise at a minimum. This ensures an extremely accurate amplification of the input signal coming from the turntable. And to make sure the V10 gets the best operating conditions, it is supplied with a linear, low noise, analog AC-power supply. This features a large, custom design, E-core transformer, placed in its own housing to eliminate all possibility of interference. For us it has been particularly important that all vinyl enthusiasts get to enjoy the V10. So, out of the box it is configured as an excellent plug and play MM preamplifier. For many, this is exactly what they want and need, but some want even more. That is why we made the V10 highly optimizable, catering to individual preferences and requirements in set up, the V10 can be adjusted for any MM and MC cartridge.

Hegel V10

When using a MM cartridge, you can freely increase the Capacitance between 100 and 467 pF and when using a MC cartridge, the impedance can be set freely between 33 and 550 ohms or fixed at 47 kohm. On both MM and MC, the gain can be increased by 5, 10 or 12 dB, matching the output of your other sources, the V10 even has a Subsonic Filter to remove unwanted low frequency noise. And at the end of the night, when the listening session takes you way past bedtime and you forget to turn off the V10, the adjustable auto standby function does that for you. All this makes the V10 the perfect companion for your vinyl setup. Finding the perfect synergy between your system and your listening preferences. Transporting you into the groove.

ACOUSTIC ENERGY AE 520

The AE520 loudspeakers are tall, slim floorstanding loudspeakers with carbon fiber membranes or domes in all chassis. There are many of them. A 25 mm carbon fiber dome tweeter processes frequencies above 2,800 Hertz. It is equipped with a waveguide "for optimal radiation". There are 125 mm carbon fiber mid-range speakers above and below the tweeter. They cover the range from the unusually specific 373 Hertz up to 2,800 Hertz. Bass is generated by three additional 125mm carbon fiber cone drivers stacked in a column in the lower half of the speaker's baffle. The drivers are each equipped with an oversized 35 mm voice coil to ensure low thermal compression and very high dynamics. The two mid-range speakers each have their own sealed housing for acoustic isolation from the woofers. There are two circuit boards for the crossover network in each loudspeaker, with the components for the bass range being on a separate circuit board. This is intended to minimize crosstalk between the components. The coils are all air-sealed to avoid distortion. The case is only 185 mm wide, but an impressive 1,130 mm high and 320 mm deep. The cabinets are constructed very heavily - each speaker weighs 30 kilograms - with the resonance suppression composite (RSC). This consists of a 9 mm MDF outer wall and a 6 mm MDF inner wall, both of which are glued to the 3 mm thick bitumen layer in between. The construction is inert and stands on solid aluminum rods that taper to a point. The frequency response of the AE520 floorstanding loudspeakers is 30 to 28,000 Hertz ± 6dB, their sensitivity at 90dB, their power handling at a massive 300 watts and their nominal impedance at 6 ohms. The peak level is 113 dB.
