Congratulations, on your new Hegel H90. 
All Hegel products are based on a simple 
philosophy: Add as little as possible. Keep 
the music signal as close to the original as 
possible. We always chase lower distortion 
and lower noise.  The music is reproduced 
as close to the original as possible and is 
limited only by the quality of the record-
ing. Our aim is to give you the best pos-
sible music experience. Our minimalistic 
Scandinavian design is styled to fit in with 
any interior. The products shall be easy to 
operate and manufactured according to 
the best quality principles. 

“Hegel H90 is our second amplifier with 
the new design, and a big upgrade from 
the previous model Hegel H80. Mak-
ing an entry level amp is a difficult task. 
It must outperform the competitors and 
have enough power and features to make 
it work in a home system. The H90 does 
all of this and delivers bang for the buck. 
The performance and features on the H90 
make it the best amp in its category.”  

Bent Holter
Founder Hegel Music System
