The output relay protection circuit provides silent switch 
on and off, together with non-evasive protection against 
error conditions such as short circuits and overheating. 
Using the 12V trigger input, the C 272 is easily switched 
On or to Stand-by from remote components featuring 
12V trigger outputs.  NAD’s own C 162 preamp sport 12V 
trigger outputs, for instance. The inclusion of 12V triggers 
make the C 272 an ideal choice for demanding, high 
quality Custom Install applications. Equipped with two 
sets of loudspeaker binding posts, adding a second pair of 
speakers becomes easy. The second set of binding posts 
will also facilitate “bi-wiring” speakers, a practice popular 
with demanding audiophiles.
PowerDrive™
The C 272 also benefi ts from NAD’s proprietary 
PowerDrive amplifi cation circuitry, now well established 
and used in many NAD models including the highly 
reviewed C 320BEE and C 350.  PowerDrive allows the 
C 272 to deliver maximum performance under virtually 
any circumstance, independent of the loudspeakers it is 
driving. The circuitry automatically senses the impedance 
of the loudspeaker and then adjusts its power supply 
settings to best cope with that specifi c load.
With PowerDrive, the relationship of voltage to current 
is kept at an ideal proportion, eliminating the current 
limiting distortion common in lesser designs. This also 
gives it an unusual characteristic compared to traditional 
amplifi ers when measuring its continuous output power; 
the RMS output power remains the same at 150 watts with 
either an eight or a four-ohm load. This is not unusual for 
NAD however. NAD takes a stance against the mindless 
“brochure power” approach which doesn’t give a realistic 
indication of an amplifi er’s true capabilities. Instead, 
PowerDrive is a practical approach to enable an amplifi er 
to easily deal with musical dynamics and diffi cult speaker 
loads. More meaningful in the real world are the C 272’s 
dynamic capabilities; up to 450 watts into 2 ohms and up to 
70 amps current capability into 1 ohm!
C 272 Stereo Power Amplifi er
The all-new NAD C 272 is part of a new range 
of amplifi ers, which will further enhance 
NAD’s enviable reputation for state of the art 
products at sensible prices. The key design 
goals of the new range are PERFORMANCE 
and RELIABILITY. Both are attained at a very 
competitive price through effi cient innovative 
design, simple circuitry and meticulous 
engineering.
“Building Block Concept”
For maximum fl exibility, the C 272 can operate 
in bridged mono mode, nearly tripling its single 
channel stereo mode continuous power rating 
into 8 ohms.This makes it an ideal choice for a 
subwoofer amplifi er or part of a high powered 
home theatre or stereo system. 
Additional Features
The C 272 also incorporates NAD’s acclaimed 
switchable “Soft Clipping” circuit that 
signifi cantly reduces the risk of damage to 
loudspeakers due to prolonged high power 
operation. The technological effort behind the 
C 272 results in a relaxed unstrained musicality,
