NAD CI 16-60 DSP 16-Channel Amplifier

Description

Like every NAD product, legendary high performance is at the
heart of this 16 channel amplifier. Promising reliability, stability and a
variety of installer-friendly features, this amplifier will redefine the way
you view high performance distributed audio systems.

Smart CI Solution with Audiophile Performance for
Distributed Audio

Highly versatile and robust, the CI 16-60 is built for the
demands of professional installations. This amplifier delivers a conservative
60 watts per channel at 8 ohms into all of its 16 channels with each pair of
channels bridgeable to 140 watts per channel if more power is desired. The
hybrid digital amplifier platform delivers stable and efficient power with high
current capability all in a compact 2U rack space.

The CI 16-60 DSP uses a customized version of the proven
Hypex UcD output stage to deliver great load invariant power with extremely low
distortion and noise in the audible range. Every detail of this design has been
carefully executed to bring out the best possible performance. Meticulously
designed and built to deal with the demands of the custom installation market,
the CI 16-60 can effortlessly handle long cable runs and difficult speaker
loads.

NAD is keenly aware that reliability is paramount for a
professional installer so all models will be based on tried and true
amplification platforms delivering stable and reliable performance. The CI
16-60 amplifier is stable at 4 ohm impedance. A variety of power on methods are
available as well as an Eco mode setting for minimal power consumption.
