Technical data

  • Power:
    • per channel unbridged (i.e. for each of the 6 channels):
      • at 8 ohms: 30 W continuous power (20 Hz - 20 kHz).
      • at 4 Ohm: 65 W peak power
      • at 2 ohms: 85 W peak power

per channel bridged (i.e. for each of the 3 channels):

      • at 8 Ohm: 90 W continuous power (20 Hz - 20 kHz)
      • at 4 Ohm: 170 W peak power


Special features

  • The power amplifier can not only be used for surround applications, but also as a stereo power amplifier.
  • Examples:
    • A) One can bridge 2 channels at a time, so that double the power per channel is available for stereo.
    • B) You can bi-amp speakers with separate connections for tweeter and woofer.
    • C) In the variants A) and B) there are still 2 channels available. These can be used, for example, bridged for a passive subwoofer (or for tri-amping in the case of speakers with 3 separate connections).

Each channel has an additional level control, so that the volume can be adjusted to match the output power of the preamplifier if required. This allows the volume control range of the preamp to be optimally adjusted. It can also be used to deliberately adjust the balance between the connected speakers

  • In addition, it has the legendary NAD soft clipping circuit (switchable), which counteracts overloading of the speakers.
