NAD CI 16-60 DSP 16 Channel Amplifier

The NAD CI 16-60 DSP 16 Channel Amplifier is a versatile and economical option for a distributed audio system, offering 8 zones of the same Class D, Hybrid Digital amplification found in NAD stereo products, with parametric EQ for fine tuning each zone. It is capable of delivering a conservative 60 watts per channel at 8 ohms into all channels simultaneously, and is bridgeable to 140 watts per channel, making it a great starting place for centralized multi-room audio.

NAD CI 16-60 DSP 16 Channel Amplifier

The CI 16-60 is a versatile and economical option for a distributed audio system, that doesn’t compromise on quality. Offering 8 zones of the same Class D, Hybrid Digital amplification found in our Class Series NAD stereo products, and with parametric EQ for fine tuning each zone, the CI i16-60 is a great starting place for centralized multi-room audio.

Full Disclosure Power

The CI 16-60 DSP offers NAD’s world-renowned sonic performance at an unrivalled price per zone. As per NAD’s Full Disclosure Power (FDP) ratings, it’s capable of delivering a conservative 60 watts per channel at 8 ohms into all channels simultaneously, so no need to worry about a lack of power, or the amplifier becoming strained, when all zones are active in a multi-room system. The CI 16-60 DSP is also bridgeable to 140 watts per channel, and offers the necessary flexibility to handle most scenarios while remaining on budget.
