Details
NAD C316 V2 Integrated Amplifier features NAD PowerDrive Technology that delivers high current drive with high dynamic power. The C316 V2 features a newly designed circuit by Bjorn Erik Edvardsen and impressive dynamic power reserves, delivering remarkable performance for value.
Proven Technology Enhanced by Innovation
NAD’s PowerDrive Circuit has been proven to offer a remarkable combination of high current drive needed for complex loudspeaker loads and high levels of undistorted dynamic power. By monitoring the precise operating condition of the power amplifier, PowerDrive uses this intelligence to automatically optimize the power supply settings for uniformly low distortion and maximum power in the real world of music listening. As featured in our top Masters Series models, PowerDrive uses a complex ‘analog computer’ to determine the optimal settings. For the C 316BEE V2, NAD’s Director of Advanced Development, Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, developed a clever new computation circuit requiring fewer parts at a much lower cost without any reduction in effectiveness.




A Light Switched On
Amazingly, modern long-life quartz light bulbs fit the bill more ideally. What NAD aims for in this design is to maximize available dynamic power (10-100ms short bursts) according to a typical music envelope for a given maximum output stage dissipation. The light bulbs have very low resistance (<1 Ohm) when cold so drop very little voltage on short peaks. At 7 V, after a few hundred milliseconds, the resistance rises to an ideal 4 Ohms
Dynamic Power Performance
For short peaks of 5 milliseconds, the C 316BEE V2’s undistorted peak power is > 110W into 8 Ohms, 190W into 4 Ohms and 270W into 2 Ohms. This is huge, coming from an amplifier rated for 40W Continuous Power into 8 Ohms! This gain in usable dynamic power on music is very nearly equivalent to a conventional amplifier rated at twice the power handling.
