HEGEL A200

Hegel A200 - 150 W High-End Fully Analogue Stereo Integrated Amplifier

The Hegel A200 is a new stereo integrated amplifier designed for listeners who want a rigorously analogue signal path, without a DAC, streaming platform or digital inputs. It is Hegel's solution for those who prefer to build their system around dedicated source components, leaving the amplifier to focus exclusively on power, control and transparency.

With 150 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, stability down to 2 Ohms and a damping factor of more than 4000, the A200 is designed to drive even demanding loudspeakers with remarkable authority. Its Class A/B output stage incorporates Hegel's proprietary SoundEngine2 technology, which reduces distortion in real time directly where it occurs.

The philosophy behind the A200 is straightforward: eliminate everything that is not essential to the analogue amplification stage and concentrate on signal quality. The result is a high-end integrated amplifier designed for systems where every source can preserve its own character, detail and dynamics without being affected by unnecessary digital circuitry or integrated streaming electronics.

A Fully Analogue Signal Path

The Hegel A200 features two balanced XLR inputs and two unbalanced RCA inputs, providing comprehensive connectivity for high-quality analogue sources. It also includes a dedicated MM Phono input, based on the MM section of Hegel's V10 standalone phono stage.

The Phono stage uses carefully hand-matched FET transistor gain stages together with selected operational amplifiers, providing low noise, precision and a highly musical presentation.

The A200 also features a variable RCA line output, ideal for connecting an active subwoofer or external power amplifier with volume controlled by the A200, as well as a fixed RCA line output for a recorder or second system.

SoundEngine2 - Power and Control

SoundEngine2 is one of the defining technologies of the A200. It detects distortion at the point where it occurs and cancels it in real time before it can propagate further through the signal path.

Combined with a damping factor of more than 4000, this architecture gives the A200 exceptional control over loudspeaker drivers. Bass notes start and stop with precision, rhythmic information remains clearly defined and the amplifier maintains its composure even during demanding musical passages.

Why Choose the New Hegel A200

The Hegel A200 is the ideal choice for listeners who are not looking for an all-in-one amplifier, but instead want a high-end analogue component around which to build a personalized Hi-Fi system. If you already own a dedicated streamer, DAC, CD player or other source components, the A200 allows each component to remain independent while giving it a clean, powerful and transparent analogue foundation.

Unlike the new Hegel H200, the A200 follows a different philosophy: no digital section and no integrated streaming, but an analogue signal path focused entirely on signal integrity, musicality and loudspeaker control.

Its 150 watts per channel, exceptional damping factor and stability down to 2 Ohms make it suitable for demanding high-end loudspeakers. The integrated MM Phono stage and high-quality headphone output also provide everyday versatility without compromising the amplifier's analogue-first design.
