The NAD C 356BEE is an integrated amplifier designed for high-quality audio performance. It features NAD's PowerDrive Circuit, which provides significant dynamic power and low impedance drive capability, significantly enhancing performance over various loads. Rated at 80 watts per channel for both 4 and 8-ohm speakers, it utilizes Full Disclosure Power (FDP) measurements for defining performance under challenging conditions, making it effective for real-world applications. It incorporates a Soft Clipping circuit that minimizes distortion during peak demands, and this feature can be switched off for critical listening scenarios. The Modular Design Construction (MDC) allows for future upgrades with interchangeable modules. The amplifier includes multiple input options, including five rear-panel analog RCA inputs and a front-panel stereo minijack for quick connections. The accessible control options include volume, balance, and tone controls with bypass capability, plus an IR remote control that can operate other NAD devices. The back panel is equipped with A & B speaker terminals, dual preamp outputs, a headphone jack, and additional connectivity features like an RS-232 port for integration with home automation systems.
