Congratulations on your new Hegel H590.
All Hegel products are based on a simple
philosophy: Add as little as possible. We 
work to keep the music signal as close to 
the original as possible. We are always 
looking for ways to lower distortion
and lower noise so that the music is repro-
duced as close to the original as possible 
and is limited only by the quality of the 
recording. Our aim is to give you the best 
possible music experience. Our minimal-
istic Scandinavian design is styled to fit in 
with any interior. Our products are easy to
operate and are manufactured according 
to the best quality principles.

“Hegel H590 is our brand new reference
integrated amplifier and sets a new
standard in our lineup of integrated amps. 
We have taken digital technology from our
reference products, added a brand new 
usb solution, and given it more power than 
any of our other integrated products.  All 
that power and versatility is set in the fresh 
new Hegel appearance. H590 reference is 
everything that our partners and custom-
ers have asked for: a bigger and better 
Hegel integrated. So we gave them a beast 
that controls even the biggest of speakers 
in addition to more inputs, more advanced 
streaming and much better sound”
