The NAD C 316BEE V2 is equipped with NAD's innovative PowerDrive circuit, which offers a remarkable combination of high current drive for complex loudspeaker loads and high levels of undistorted dynamic power. By accurately monitoring the operating condition of the power amplifier, PowerDrive automatically optimizes power supply settings to deliver uniformly low distortion and maximum power in the real world of music listening. This sophisticated system, also found in NAD's top-of-the-line Masters Series models, uses a complex "analog computer" to determine the optimal settings. For the C 316BEE V2, NAD's Director of Advanced Development, Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, has developed a clever new computation circuit that requires fewer parts and is cost-effective without sacrificing effectiveness.

Advanced Technology

The NAD C 316BEE V2 incorporates all of NAD's signature technologies, including a generous toroidal transformer, low ESR smoothing capacitors, multiple regulated secondary power supplies and heavy-duty discrete output transistors. These components ensure that the C 316BEE V2 is as sophisticated and advanced as other amplifiers from NAD. The result is a relaxed and inviting sound that brings out the subtle details in your favorite recordings and presents over a panoramic stereo soundstage. The quiet background and low distortion give a sense of solidity and presence to your music, bringing out the best in your speakers.

Excellent Value

We believe the C 316BEE V2 will set new benchmarks for performance, both measured and audible, within this affordable price segment. Unless you have powerful speakers, listen to extremely loud levels or have a very large room, this NAD amplifier will be the perfect amplifier for you. Fundamental specifications for noise, distortion, power, stereo separation and volume control are all industry-leading and would be impressive for an amplifier many times more expensive than the C 316BEE V2. Continuous power is a conservative 40 watts, but dynamic power is impressive at over 100 watts, which is essential for listening to music.

Simplicity and Functionality

The C 316BEE V2 offers everything needed for musical enjoyment while refreshingly limiting it to the essentials. With six inputs, a set of speakers, a headphone jack and a fully functional remote control, this amplifier has a compact size and an understated but attractive exterior. It's the quintessential NAD: simplicity with exceptional performance.

Although the C 316BEE V2 may not have all the bells and whistles of more expensive models, it is far from a "stripped-down" product. With five line-level inputs, an MM Phono input, adjustable tone control and a front-panel input for portable media players, the C 316BEE V2 is fully equipped to be the control center of a high-performance music system.

The C 316BEE V2 is the perfect choice for a high-performance music system.
