NAD has built a remarkable reputation for crafting some of the most outstanding budget amplifiers in history, starting from the iconic 3020 in 1978 to the contemporary C 328, consistently earning “Best Amp” accolades and stellar reviews. The C 316BEE exceeded expectations, securing prestigious awards such as the EISA for ‘Best Product 2008-2009’ and high praises from leading audio publications. In response to the vinyl resurgence, we’ve enhanced the design by incorporating NAD’s acclaimed RIAA phono stage. This advanced circuit ensures low noise, high overload margins, and precise RIAA equalization, a rarity in this price range. An infrasonic filter further rejects airborne vibrations, eliminating parasitic feedback. Elevate your music experience with NAD’s exceptional amplifiers and speakers, creating a top-tier music system.
