The Streamliner

H400 integrated amplifier replaces the extremely capable H390. It offers some tech trickled down from the H600 flagship too.

The Hegel H400 amplifier delivers 250W of power into 8 ohms and this will drive any loudspeaker with ease. It also has a high damping factor, ensuring tight control and dynamic sound.s dual mono construction and symmetrical layout maintain signal purity, while SoundEngine 2 technology provides real-time distortion correction, resulting in clear, detailed, and powerful audio.
