NAD CI 980 Eight-Channel-power amplifier

The discrete high-performance output stages enable the CI 980 to provide high peak currents instantly and completely effortlessly for an absolutely superior bass reproduction. The power supply with toroidal transformer ensures an extremely low output impedance for the lowest possible noise development and a high damping factor. In this way, the CI 980 achieves completely relaxed, realistic music playback - reliably adapted to any ambience. Even on ships and airplanes.

The eight channels of the CI 980 provide low-distortion power for stereo applications in four zones. With a continuous output of 50 watts per channel, the CI 980 is perfect for operating speakers with low impedance and long cable runs. With the bridging function, two channels can be combined into a high-performance amplifier; it then delivers 4 x 120 watts. Thanks to the low heat generated by the efficient technology, several CI 980s can be operated in one rack - so much for flexibility.

Absolute reliability and easy handling were the main goals in the development of the CI 980. It enables extremely realistic, authentic music enjoyment even in demanding installations. Because music comes first at NAD.
