The H1 mk4 source selector and the volume can be controlled from the remote control RC2.

What is the power consumption of the Hegel H1 mk4?

Because of the SoundEngine technology used in the H1 mk4, there is no need to run a high bias current in the output stage of the amplifier. The H1 mk4  will as all the other Hegel amplifiers use a minimum of power in standby mode when it is not playing music. The H1 mk4 will use about 30W of power in standby mode, less than a normal light bulb.

What is the difference between the H1 mk4  and the H200?

The main difference is that the H1 mk4  has got less power output than the H200. The H1 mk4 is using the same new and improved SoundEngine amplifier technology as the new H200, but the H200 has got twice as powerful output stages and a substantially beefier dual mono power supply. This gives the H200 an even better resolution, dynamic range and power control than the H1 mk4. The active preamp stage of the H1 mk4  is the same as the preamp stage in the H200.
