NAD C 165BEE PREAMPLIFIER

The C 165BEE is an all-new design representing a lifetime of design experience from NAD’s renowned director of advanced developments Bjørn Erik Edvardsen. New semi-conductors and improved production techniques such as surface-mount devices (SMDs) have created opportunities for performance far beyond expectation when compared to previous products in this price range. Compared to its predecessor the C 162, an improved tone control circuit and revised PCB layout has reduced distortion and noise to unprecedented levels when combined with the high signal capacity of the NAD class-A gain modules.
