Product information

NAD used their talent, experience and inspiration from the M3 Masters amp to develop the C356 BEE, with the option of a high performance DAC module for £195 and FREE 1m Chord Chameleon cable (worth £120). A replacement for the already impressive C355 BEE, the B356 BEE is even better With very high dynamic power, the C356 BEE is able to drive even difficult speakers while sounding musical, detailed, coherent and relaxed. Even at elevated listening levels, NAD's exclusive "Soft Clipping" feature saves your ears and speakers from distortion.

The C356 BEE has the lowest levels of distortion and noise available in its price class. A simple internal architecture minimises signal path length and keeps resistance extremely low allowing the subtlest details to emerge from your music. Tone controls are included but are fully bypassable, while a full function remote control will also control other NAD components, and a front panel 3.5mm input allows connection of your iPod/mp3 player.

This model includes future MDC upgrade options, that allow you to upgrade without replacing the entire amplifier. These include NAD's PP375 phono stage upgrade or any other yet-to-be-announced upgrade modules. Surprisingly for such a powerful amp, it's also environmentally friendly, with a <0.5W standby consumption.
