Transport and Shipment

If you are packing the amplifier for shipping, 
please follow these instructions to avoid 
damaging the unit: Be careful not to hold the 
volume- and source-knobs when lifting the 
amplifier. Put  the bag around the ampli-
fier. Make sure the bottom shock absorb-
ers are placed at the bottom of the original 
cardboard box. Place the amplifier into 
the shock absorbers. Place the top shock 
absorber on top of the amplifier.  

Use and Placement

The  Hegel H120 should be placed on a flat, 
hard surface for proper cooling. The amplifier 
performs best after being switched on for 
about 1 hour for heating up. A certain space 
is required for air circulation above and 
below the amplifier. The amplifier must never 
be placed on a carpet or similar surface that 
obstructs air circulation through the unit. Nor 
must it be covered while in use or placed on 
a narrow shelf or in another confined space.

The amplifier will automatically switch itself 
off if overheated. When it cools down the 
relays kick in and the amplifier sets the 
volume to 0. 

 
Cleaning

Fingerprints or  stains on the front panel or 
top cover can be removed with a cloth moist-
ened with warm water or a mild detergent 
suitable for cleaning mirrors and windows.
