When it comes to an NAD product, the utmost attention to detail is paid. From the heavy gauge steel chassis to the advanced power supplies and copper buss bars, the C 275BEE represents all that NAD stands for. Equipped with NAD’s ATOLogic circuit, which includes both a 12V-trigger system and signal-sensing power-on option, this extra level of flexibility makes it easy to integrate the C 275BEE into any control system. The C 275BEE also benefits from NAD’s PowerDrive™ circuit topology, which allows the C 275BEE to deliver maximum performance under various circumstances. Delivering a well-rounded, mesmerising performance, the C 275BEE will let you hear your music the way it was meant to be heard.

Tons of Power for Every Situation

The C 275BEE boasts many upgrades and refinements taken directly from the highly acclaimed NAD Masters Series M3 Amplifier. These include the application of Bjorn Erik Edvardsen’s innovative and patented Distortion Canceling Circuit in the output stage and BEE Clamp in the power supply. A carefully engineered PCB layout has reduced distortion and noise to unprecedented levels. Taken together, these improvements mark a sharp upturn in performance that simply must be heard to be fully appreciated.

Custom Integration

NAD designed the C 275BEE power amplifier from the ground up to deliver the best possible performance in its price range. With a conservative 150-watt-per-channel rating, this potent amp generates the kind of power you need to drive virtually any speaker system with ease. Match it with the NAD C 165BEE stereo preamplifier to create a sound system capable of impressive dynamics, musical detail, and transparency.

Advanced technology for stunning sound
The C 275BEE employs many of the same high-end features found on NAD's top-of-the-line Master Series components, including NAD's exclusive PowerDrive™ technology. This unique circuit automatically senses your speaker's impedance, then optimises the amp's power supply settings to deliver the most dynamic power possible. This allows it to easily drive low-impedance loads, including many of today's high-end speakers, which often run closer to four ohms than eight. Plus, a patented distortion-canceling circuit in the amp's output stage ensures your music stays clean and pure.

A strong, vibration-resistant build
Along with all of its advanced technology, NAD gave the C 275BEE a big helping of good old-fashioned construction quality. This amplifier boasts a heavy-gauge steel chassis for added durability and vibration resistance. Its power supply, the heart of any amplifier, utilises an interference-canceling toroidal transformer and heavy copper bus bars to channel enormous amounts of current to the custom gold-plated speaker binding posts. Additional premium-quality internal components — such as four pairs of discrete high-wattage output transistors per channel — allow the C 275BEE to handle prolonged high-power operation effortlessly.
