Affordable stereo power amplifier, designed for different scenarios, including traditional piles with a preamp or for strengthening your favorite speakers. The NAD C 268 can even be bridged and seamlessly transforms its extensive versions from 80 x 2 to an excellent 300 Watt. Although the C 268 seems to be a simple power amplifier, this Classic series is amplifier full of rich functions that will improve your system.
Great flexibility
As with any amplifier in the Classic series, we have here NAD Carefully conceived all possible use cases and strategically opted for the most essential functions. Thanks to the selectable balanced inputs, the C 268 is a natural partner for advanced power amplifiers and processors. These inputs contain a trim control that is useful for matching with other components, or for use in reinforcing speakers. A line-out makes further addition of power on the same channel possible for extra speakers or subwoofers. On top of all this connectivity is a bridge switch that changes the C 268 into an amazingly powerful monobloc amplifier.
You can also link the C 268 with the NAD C 368 Hybrid Digital DAC-Awarter and with both units bridged for mono, 300 watts per channel will be available for your listening pleasure. The car Sense function of the C 268 with selectable threshold is perfect for automating complex systems or for hiding the amplifier from view in a cupboard. Included with the C 268 is an earth clamp that is very useful for eliminating soil loops and noise in complex systems with multiple units.
Get the basic principles well
As a member of NAD's Classic series provides the C 268 an extremely satisfying sonic performance thanks to the' music first 'functions. Accurate channel balance, correct input and output impedance properties and circuits with low noise all come together in this one stereo power amplifier. In addition, the Line inputs of the C 268, both balanced and single-ended, can accommodate all types of analogue source components by offering ideal input impedance characteristics with linear ultra-low-noise buffer strengthens to prevent any sonic degradation caused by unsuitable loading device .
Advanced power
Once NAD Old-fashioned linear power supplies and class AB exporting phases has left, it has developed even better performing circuits based on switching feeds and class D output stairs. Once thought that it is inferior to traditional topologies, NADThe advanced work in this area resulted in some of the best performing amplifiers, regardless of the basic design. The overall design of the C 268 is very linear over a wide bandwidth and offers dramatic progress compared to previous models with consistent performance in all speaker taxes.
The power supply of the C 268 is able to record almost 200 Watts continuously and more than 500 Watt immediately, which means that short -term musical transients are possible. NAD's Innovative asymmetrical PowerDrive makes full use of the last Watt available with its enormous dynamic ability reserves available to accurately reproduce the most demanding music without distortion or compression. He can also work with any AC-Net voltage from 100V to 240V, and delivers pure direct current for all different stages of the C 268. This extremely efficient food also offers an almost perfect control of the voltage over a wide range of conditions and offers a solid Ruis -free basis for the reinforcing phases.
The C 268 uses a modified version of the proven Hypex UCD output strap. This creates an enormous force with almost immeasurable distortion and noise in the audible range. Every detail of this design is carefully manufactured and perfectly executed to perform the last drop of performance.
