The C 545BEE takes the superb performance of our 5-star rated C 515BEE and steps it up to the next level. Every aspect of sonic performance is
enhanced and refined making the C 545BEE the ideal companion to our C 355BEE amplifier or any system in need of a performance upgrade.
The C 545BEE replaces NAD’s venerable C 542. With the worldwide acclaim and numerous awards for outstanding performance and value, it is
fair to ask why NAD would “mess with success”. But NAD has never rested on its laurels; rather development is ongoing at the NAD Lab and new
models are launched when we feel a significant improvement has been achieved. Such is the case with the C 545BEE.
Besides the new more refined
cosmetics, the circuit layout and component choices have been extensively updated.
The cumulative effect of these changes is dramatic, improving
low frequency slam and extension, while maintaining the pace and timing for which the C 542 was so lavishly praised. Image depth and scale are
further enhanced while retaining the timbral accuracy and lucid harmonic structure of its predecessor.

Features and Circuitry
Creating one’s own favorite compilation CD-R and
CD-RW’s on a CD Recorder is becoming ever more
popular, and unlike older CD players, the C 545BEE will
easily play these discs, even those encoded with MP3
and WMA compression. Nearly 10 hours of music can be
recorded onto one CD-R when using 128kps compression
allowing ‘all day’ background music listening. We have
included a number of additional features to make your
listening more enjoyable: RANDOM gives the listener
a random selection of all tracks on the disc in play, and
REPEAT allows repeat playing of either the entire disc,
or individual tracks. Individual tracks can be quickly
accessed using the SKIP function (Forward and Back),
and the SCAN function (Forward and Back) gives an
aural précis of individual tracks, giving the listener the
opportunity to reach specific sections of the track.
