NAD C 328

When it comes to Classic Series amplifiers, no feature is overlooked. Low noise circuitry, precise volume control action, and precise channel balancing are all features of the NAD C 328. With the added bonus of correct treatment of input and output impedances, plus highly overloaded margins and stability with difficult speaker loads, the C 328 is the best choice for audiophiles who are just starting to build their dream system. The C 328 also includes an MM phono stage with precise RIAA equalization, highly overdriven margins, extremely low noise, and innovative circuitry to suppress the infrasonic noise present in all LPs, all without affecting bass response.

The line inputs on the NAD C 328 can accept all types of analog sources. It offers ideal input impedance attributes with ultra-low noise intermediate amplifiers to prevent any sound degradation caused by incorrect loading of the source device. The C 328 also features a separate headphone amplifier with low output impedance and very high voltage capability, enough in fact to drive even studio monitor headphones with high impedances. The low impedance of the line outputs also allows them to be connected to a subwoofer to further extend the versatility of the C 328.

Compatible with Bluetooth, you can instantly connect and listen to the music service of your choice, or wirelessly send music and saved playlists directly to your smartphone, tablet or computer. Plus, with its high-performance digital circuitry, sound over Bluetooth has never sounded as good as it does on the NAD C 328.

Since leaving behind the old linear power supplies and class AB output stages, NAD has developed even better performing circuits based on switching power supplies and class D output stages. Although at the time they were thought to be inferior to traditional topologies, NAD's advanced work in this area has brought about some of the best performing amplifiers on the market today. These new designs are linear over a wide bandwidth and provide consistent performance across all speaker loads, offering a dramatic step forward.

The NAD C 328's power supply is capable of delivering up to 100 watts of output when needed. The C 328 can operate at any voltage from 100V to 240V and provides pure continuous power to all stages. This extremely efficient supply also entails near perfect voltage regulation across a wide range of conditions and provides a solid noise-free foundation for the amplification stages.

The C 328 uses a customized version of the proven Hypex UcD output stage. This allows for massive power with virtually immeasurable distortion and noise in the audible range. Every detail of this design has been carefully constructed and perfectly executed to squeeze out the best possible performance. The perfect starter amplifier for audiophiles and music lovers alike, the C 328 will flawlessly deliver NAD's signature flexibility and expansive power.
