C245BEEG - NAD 4 Channel Power Amplifer

The C 245BEE is an amplifier with uncomment talent. With its four-channel architecture it can provide several system building options. Used with our C165BEE preamp, it offers more than enough power to drive the loudspeaker of your choice with the interesting option to bi-amplify. Connected to the Zone Output of our AV Receivers, the C245BEE can send different music programs to remote speakers.

PERFORMANCE

Like many generations of award-winning NAD amplifiers, the C 245BEE is designed by NAD's Engineer Mereitus, Bjorn Erik Edvardsen. Utilizing mulitple discrete high power output devices, the C245BEE can easily provide the instantaneous peak current required for good bass response. The power suppply features a custom toroidal transformer that maintains very low impedance for lowest noise and good damping factor.

FLEXIBILITY

The C245BEE has three options for power-up: front panel switch, 12V trigger control (supported by many companion NAD products) or signal sensing 'auto' turn on. In Standby mode, it draws <1W thanks to a separate high efficiency power supply thus reducing carbon emissions and saving power. A rear panel power switch completely disconnects the power.

Each input has a 'loop out' feature allowing multiple C245BEEs to share the same signal, which is ideal for elaborate custom installations. Pairs of channels can be switched on and off with the front panel Channel A and B switches.

Wheter you want to bi-amp stereo speakers, add surround channels to your Home Theatre or power music zones to your whole house audio system, the C245BEE has what you need for great performance.

VALUE

Unique in its blend of performance and flexibility, the C245BEE is also a tremendous bargain. This is in keeping with NAD's 'Giant Slaying' reputation where we are often compared to products costing two or three times more, yet still come out on top. Honest musicality never goes out of style, and the C245BEE will provide you many years of enjoyment.
