NAD CI 8-150 DSP v2 Multi-Channel Amplifier

The NAD CI 8-150 DSP v2 packs eight channels of powerful HybridDigital amplification with Hypex nCore output stages into a rack-mountable 1U chassis. For demanding multi-zone installations with high power requirements.

Why the CI 8-150?

With built-in DSP you optimise sound and level individually for every single zone and speaker – directly in the unit, with no separate processors needed. The Hypex nCore output stages deliver high peak current (26 A at 1 Ω) to handle even demanding speaker loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What speakers is the CI 8-150 suited for?

Thanks to its high peak current and stability into low impedances, the CI 8-150 also copes with demanding in-ceiling or in-wall speakers that briefly draw a lot of current. In normal living spaces with undemanding speakers, the CI 8-120 is often already enough.

Does the CI 8-150 fit into a standard 19-inch rack?

Yes, the chassis is designed in 1U 19-inch format and fits into a standard AV rack.
