The C 165BEE is the perfect complement to NAD’s C 275BEE Power Amplifi er making a reference level of performance available for far less money
than previously possible.
Attention to the most minute detail is evident everywhere, from the heavy gauge steel chassis to the sophisticated
power supplies and custom Class A gain modules taken straight from the NAD Masters Series components.

Performance
The C 165BEE is an all new design representing a lifetime
of design experience from NAD’s renowned Director of
Advanced Developments, Bjorn Erik Edvardsen. New
semiconductors 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.

Class A gain modules combine the short signal path
advantage of IC based OPAmps with the higher signal
and current capacity of discrete transistors. Here SMD
is used to miniaturize the circuit while the extruded
aluminum heat sink keeps all parts at the optimal
operating temperature for ultra low distortion. This
unique NAD development endows the C 165BEE with
lightening fast transient response and bass extension
and defi nition that is uncommon at this price level. High
frequencies are extended, silky smooth and grain-free.
