Like all NAD devices, high performance is at the core of this 16-channel amplifier. Ensuring reliability, stability, and a variety of easy-to-install features, this amplifier redefines high-performance distributed audio systems.
Versatile and robust, NAD CI 16-60 is made for the demands of professional installations. This amplifier delivers 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms across all 16 channels, with each pair of channels being bridgeable to 140 watts per channel if more power is desired. Hybrid Digital amplification delivers stable, efficient power with high current capability, in a compact 2U rack space.
The DSP CI 16-60 features a tailored version of Hypex UcD technology to deliver high power with extremely low distortion and noise in the audible range. Every detail of the design has been taken care of to obtain the best possible performance. Carefully designed and built to meet the needs of custom installations, the CI 16-60 seamlessly supports long cables and hard-to-move speakers.
NAD knows that reliability is essential for custom installers, which is why all models have stable, long-lasting and reliable performance. The IC 16-60 amplifier is stable at an impedance of 4 ohms. It can be activated in several ways, and it has an ecological mode for minimal consumption.
