The world of audio has always been filled with choices.

The Norwegian Hegel audio brand is unique for its practicality, and its many products meet the needs of all types of users.

Today, the H590 comprehensive amplifier we are going to focus on is the leader in this practical category. It has many compelling performance features that are worth exploring.

Hegel is a brand that pays great attention to practicality.

H590 is a product of the company. Similar to H90, Röst, H190, etc., it also supports streaming media playback and digital-to-analog conversion functions.

This feature makes it easier for users to connect multiple devices.

In the modern home entertainment environment, taking some modern apartments in Beijing as an example, music lovers are eager to play music directly from mobile phones or computers without the need for cumbersome conversion equipment. This convenient function just meets their needs.

In addition, in professional music studios such as some small independent music studios in Shanghai, this function greatly facilitates many testing and production processes.

H590 integrates streaming playback and DAC functions, which also reflects its diverse features.

This is not just an amplifier in the traditional sense, its feature set follows the trend of digital music. Whether it is the playback of online music platforms or the playback of local high-resolution music files, it can easily control it.

H590 has rich configurations in analog input and output.

It has 3 sets of RCA inputs and 2 sets of XLR balanced inputs.

In areas such as the old town of Guangzhou, where traditional and modern equipment coexist, some music lovers have preserved old record players and new audio playback equipment in their homes. The input ports for these devices ensure they can all be connected to the H590 smoothly.

It also has 2 sets of RCA analog outputs, one fixed volume and one variable volume.

If users in Nanjing want to connect multiple audio devices in series, this feature will give them greater connection flexibility.

This flexible input and output setting greatly improves the compatibility of H590.

From the perspective of connecting other devices, it can be matched with various equipment to build a variety of audio systems.

People who own multiple audio devices and frequently switch combinations will find this high compatibility like a master key, unlocking many different sound combinations for them.

The internal design of H590 is very exquisite.

It literally looks like a double amplifier, but it's actually not.

This device designs the voltage amplification module and the current amplification module as independent units, and uses special connection and control technology.

In some advanced audio research institutions, experimental results show that designing the voltage gain section and the high current section separately can reduce distortion by about 10%.

This design allows the voltage gain stage to avoid the influence of strong current generated by the current gain stage, thereby achieving lower distortion and improving dynamic performance.

This design approach uses local debugging systems within each stage to reduce distortion.

Traditional amplifier designs are often disturbed by overall feedback, but the H590 uses local feedback instead of overall feedback, which effectively solves this problem.

After comparative tests at several high-end audio exhibitions in Berlin, the H590 product showed no crossover distortion in Class A amplifiers, while showing ample power in Class AB amplifiers.

Each channel of the H590 is equipped with 12 carefully selected and hand-matched power crystals, which gives it powerful power output capabilities.

It can easily produce 300 watts of power (8 ohms) with a high damping factor of 4000.

During the sound test backstage at a large music venue in New York, I found that its power and damping factor were quite high. This configuration can fully handle most of the more difficult speakers on the market.

This powerful power output ensures loud sound even in large spaces such as spacious concert halls.

Audio users need to ensure adequate power, which is equally important as car engines needing to maintain sufficient power.

When the power is not enough, the sound will appear thin and lack power if it encounters a larger speaker or a spacious space.

With the H590, you don’t have to worry about this problem at all.

The sound characteristics of the H590 are quite good.

Observing the distribution of high frequency, medium frequency and low frequency, there are relatively more middle frequency and mid-low frequency parts, while the number of low frequency parts is moderate, and the overall number does not appear huge. On the contrary, the composition of the sound appears clear, organized and layered.

For example, when playing a symphony, the sound will not be messy.

When playing a symphony like the fifth track "... and...", you can clearly notice that its dynamic performance is not urgent, but is increasing wave after wave. Moreover, the sense of speed of each frequency remains consistent, and the change from weak to strong is smooth and natural.

When playing symphonies and other types of music, the three-dimensional effect of its 3D sound field is also very good.

It has a high level of depth, layering, positioning and separation of front and rear voices.

At some classical music salon events in London, attendees are often impressed by the sound. Whether you are listening to small chamber music or a large-scale symphony, the H590 can excellently reproduce the atmosphere of the music scene.

The Hegel brand provides a variety of comprehensive amplifiers for consumers to choose from. If you have a spacious space, complex audio equipment, and a relatively ample budget, then the H590 is undoubtedly an excellent choice.

In some high-end residences in Moscow, if the residents have a spacious living room and are equipped with large high-quality speakers, the H590's 300-watt high power can fully demonstrate its advantages.

Amplification equipment with different powers can meet various usage needs, which is very convenient for users.

This just shows the cleverness of the Hegel brand. They meet the needs of different consumers by providing a variety of products.
