NAD C338 AWARD-WINNER
NAD’s EISA-award-winning C338 integrated amplifier is tracking to become one of the best-selling amplifiers in Australia, according to Geoff Matthews, Managing Director at Convoy, which distributes NAD in Australia. ‘ The C338 was a definitely a crowd favourite at last year’s Melbourne HiFi Show,’ he said, ‘ not least because it blends simple operation with outstanding performance. It’s designed for the music lover searching for a superb-sounding amplifier that can master music sources, past and present.’ The NAD C338 integrated amplifier has a switch-mode power supply and a ClassD output stage rated at 50-watts per channel into either 8 or 4 . ‘ NAD’s designers have shunned conventional power hungry-linear power supplies and Class-AB output stages that waste nearly half of the energy consumed producing heat rather than sound,’ said Matthews. ‘ NAD has developed high-performance switch-mode power supplies and Class-D output stages. Blending simplicity and outstanding performance with flexibility, the C338 is designed for the music lover searching for a superb sounding amplifier that can master music sources, past and present.’
The NAD CD338 is fitted with multiple inputs, including analogue inputs—phono (MM) and line—and digital (coaxial and optical) plus it also has a Bluetooth, so you can stream to it from any compatible device. In addition to the main speaker outputs, the C338 also has a subwoofer output. In awarding the NAD C338 with its ‘Best Amplifier’ award for 2017–2018, the EISA judges said: ‘ It is the world’s first stereo integrated amplifier with Chromecast compatibility, streaming most major music services at the tap of an app. Despite its slim size, the amp’s Class-D power stage packs 50-watts per channel and offers almost every input you’ll ever need—from Bluetooth, optical/coaxial digital, MM phono and line-level analogue. Factor in the headphone stage and nothing else matches its performance for the price.’ For more information, contact Convoy International on (02) 9774 9900 or at www.convoy.com.au
