Performance Specs
One of the most important factors when deciding on an integrated amplifier is its power ratings and compatibility with your speaker's impedance requirements.The Hegel H30A is rated at 1100 watts RMS into 8-ohms. Hegel provides this wattage at a THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of 0.003% which is an important indicator of distortion at the given values (lower THD is better).
Here are the main highlights of its performance specs:
- 1100 watts into 8-ohms () at 0.003%
- 100dB Signal to Noise Ratio
How loud will 1100 watts actually play in your room? →

Which speakers suit the Hegel H30A?
1,100 W into 8 ohms, rated down to 1 ohms.
We rank every passive speaker we cover against it on power, impedance safety and current
delivery.
When pairing the Hegel H30A with a passive Bookshelf (Stand mount) or Passive Floor Standing (Tower) speaker, you have to check if their Max Power Range is below the max wattage of the amp for the given impedance levels.
Operating your amp outside of this max range may damage the speakers.
What size of room is the Hegel H30A Amplifier good for?
An essential deciding factor is the size of the room in which you intend to employ the Hegel H30A amplifier. Here, taking into account its maximum power parameters, we analyzed its applicability to various size environments:
| Listening Environment |
Suitability |
| Near-field | Are you nuts? |
| Small Room | Bad |
| Mid-size Room | Poor |
| Large Room | Good |
| Very Large Room | Good |
Inputs and Outputs
Besides the performance specs of the Hegel H30A, the next important feature set that you have to evaluate is the input and output selections that it offers.
Hegel H30A has total of 2 Analog inputs .

Bluetooth Connectivity
Hegel H30A doesn't have bluetooth connectivity feature. In order to stream your music via bluetooth, the easiest way is to connect an external bluetooth receiver to your Hegel H30A. Two bluetooth receivers that we recommend are the
iFi Zen Blue V2 and the
Audioengine B1.
Among the amps in the same price range, these are the 2 amps that have Bluetooth Connectivity:
Phono Input
Hegel H30A doesn't have a phono input so in order to play your vinyl albums, Hegel H30A has to be paired with a Phono Preamp that is MM (Moving Magnet) or/and MC (Moving COil) depending on your cartridge type.
Hegel H30A External Dimensions and Weight
Hegel H30A has external dimensions of (H x W x D) 9-7/16 x 16-15/16 x 22-5/8 inch (240 x 430 x 575 mm ). The unit weighs
47.4 kg (104.5 lbs).
Base Surface Area
Base surface area of an integrated amplifier may become an important decision factor when the space in your room or desk is limited.
The base area of the Hegel H30A is approximately 2472.5cm2 / 383.2inch2.
- Width: 430.0mm (16-15/16")

How much power does the Hegel H30A have?
The Hegel H30A delivers More than 1100 watts into 8 ohms in mono, per chassis, rated at 1 kHz and 1% THD. Hegel states the H30A can also be used as a stereo power amplifier but publishes no stereo power figure.
What amplifier class is the Hegel H30A?
The Hegel H30A uses a Class A/B amplifier design. Class A/B is the traditional linear design: it runs warmer and is less efficient than Class D, but it is long valued for its natural, low-distortion sound.
Does the Hegel H30A have a built-in DAC?
No. The Hegel H30A has no built-in DAC, so a digital source such as a streamer or CD transport needs its own converter, or you connect it over analogue.
Can I connect a turntable to the Hegel H30A?
No. The Hegel H30A has no phono input, so a turntable needs an external phono preamp (or a deck with one built in) before it can be connected.
Does the Hegel H30A have Bluetooth?
No. The Hegel H30A does not have Bluetooth built in; you would need an external Bluetooth receiver connected to one of its inputs.
Does the Hegel H30A have a headphone output?
No. The Hegel H30A does not have a headphone output, so headphone listening needs a separate headphone amplifier.
How much does the Hegel H30A cost?
The Hegel H30A has a manufacturer's list price (MSRP) of $20,000.
