CI8-150 DSP

The NAD CI 8-150 DSP is designed to deliver the highest performance in custom installations without compromising on reliability or ease of use. With NAD's signature sound quality and rugged construction, this amplifier offers an unmatched combination of power, precision and versatility for complex installations.

Full Power Specifications

The CI 8-150 DSP, according to NAD's Full Disclosure Power (FDP) ratings, delivers a conservative 150 watts per channel at 8 ohms, in all channels simultaneously, and is bridgeable to 280 watts per channel. In bridged mode, the IHF Dynamic Power offers impressive 4 x 670 watts per channel at 4 ohms. Whatever you need for your multi-room audio system, the CI 8-150 DSP can handle it.

Hybrid Digital Amplification

The CI 8-150 DSP uses NAD's Hybrid Digital technology with the advanced Hypex nCore output stage. This technology is known for its exceptional load-independent power, ultra-low distortion and noise floor. Every detail of this design has been carefully executed to deliver the best possible performance, whether you're listening to background music or cranking up the volume for a party. The CI 8-150 DSP NAD amp delivers consistent, clear and dynamic sound at any volume and load.

Efficient and Reliable Rack Mounting

The CI 8-150 DSP is designed with reliability and space efficiency in mind. Thermostatic fans draw in cool air from the front of the unit and exhaust it through the rear vents, meaning you don't need extra ventilation space between units to keep them cool. This makes the CI 8-150 DSP ideal for installations where rack space is scarce.

User-friendly Web UI/DSP

The CI 8-150 DSP features a network interface for easy configuration via a custom WebUI. It allows installers to quickly set inputs and outputs, adjust gain, bridge channels and manage stereo/mono settings. The built-in DSP offers a 5-band parametric EQ and high/low pass filters, allowing you to optimize the audio in each zone. Various power-on methods and an Eco mode for minimal power consumption are available. I/O switching and routing can also be managed through compatible control systems such as Crestron, Control4, Elan, RTI and URC.

System suggestion

Combinate the CI 8-150 DSP with the CI 580 V2 4-zone BluOS rack mount streamer for a complete high-res multi-room audio system of exceptional value and quality. For even better performance, upgrade to an NAD stereo streamer such as the C 658. The CI 8-150 DSP is also perfect for use in high-end home theaters, paired with a T 778 AV receiver or M17 V2 AV processor.
