C 356BEE Integrated Amplifier
Our new C 356BEE symbolises NADs desire for continual improvementeven on an award-winning design. We have refined our amplifier performance and added more value to our C 356BEE design by applying knowledge gained from our top-of-the-line Masters Series M3 Amplifier. Able to drive the most complex loudspeakers to their full musical potential, the C 356BEE can challenge amplifiers costing two to three times more. With features like Preamp Out and Modular Design Construction, this amp can be customised to suit your specific requirements.

Features

> Legendary Technology Our NAD PowerDrive circuit delivers very high dynamic power and low impedance drive to accurately control loudspeakers, resulting in musically detailed, coherent, and relaxed sound. PowerDrive offers the capability of an amplifier twice as powerful without the energy drainage. Our exclusive Soft Clipping feature protects speakers (and ears) from damaging clipping distortion. >Real World Power With 80W of continuous power (both channels) our C 356BEE has the lowest levels of distortion and noise available in its price class. We use the most demanding criterion for performance measurement Full Disclosure Powermeasuring distortion under the most extreme conditions of low impedance loads and frequency extremes, rather than the easy 1kHz @ 8 ohms test used by many of our competitors.
> MDC Modular Design Construction MDC innovations are being expanded in our Classic Series models with the C 356BEE. Upgrade and ecofriendly, MDC boosts the value of the C 356BEE by enhancing the capabilities of this amp. MDC allows you to add our optional PP 375 phono stage or future MDC Modules, as they are introduced.
> Greener NAD The C 356BEE offers <0.5W standby consumption and includes a convenient fully off vacation switch. We make every effort to reduce our environmental impact by manufacturing the C 356BEE without heavy metals and other hazardous substances, and by using recycled and recyclable materials where possible.
