NAD C 316BEE User Manual
C 316BEE Stereo Integrated Amplier
Our scene-stealing C 315BEE, an award-winning design that exceeded all expectations, has given rise to the C 316BEE
Integrated Amplier. The C 316BEE promises improved power efciency, a healthy dose of ‘green’ attributes, and serious
musical performance. The C 316BEE offers entry-level affordability and for many there will never be a need for another amplier.
With class-leading specications for noise, distortion, power, stereo separation and volume control tracking, the C 316BEE sets
new benchmarks for performance, both measured and audible. The sonic result is a relaxed and inviting sound that digs out
the subtle details in your favourite recordings and presents them across a panoramic stereo sound stage.
Features
> Innovative Twist on Proven Technology
Proprietary PowerDrive™ Circuit offers a remarkable
combination of high current drive needed for complex
loudspeaker loads combined with high levels of undistorted
dynamic power. Bjørn Erik Edvardsen, our Director of
Advanced Development, developed a simplied version of
PowerDrive for the C 316BEE.
> Enviro Chic
Thanks to its innovative technology, standby power
consumption is less than 1 watt. The C 316BEE uses lead-free
silver solder and is constructed free of hazardous materials.
> Budget-friendly
True to our enviable reputation for creating some of the
best performing budget ampliers of all time, the C 316BEE
delivers huge performance without the huge price tag.
> Dynamic Power Reserves
Continuous power is a conservative 40 watts and dynamic
power, which is more important for music listening, is
remarkably more than 100 watts! Far more usable power on
tap than other amps at this price point.
> Keeping it Simple
The C 316BEE has everything necessary for musical
enjoyment, yet it is refreshingly limited to the essentials:
six inputs, one set of speakers, a headphone jack and full
function remote control.
> Impressive Capacity
While the C 316BEE embodies simplicity, it is far from a
‘stripped down’ product. It is fully equipped to be the control
centre for a high performance music system.
