The C 316BEE V2 picks up exactly where that left off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the C 316BEE V2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it does the essentials uncompromisingly well and leaves out the rest. At its heart is NAD's PowerDrive circuit: it dynamically regulates the power supply so the rated 40 watts per channel feels noticeably stronger in practice – briefly delivering over 100 watts for loud transients. A generously sized toroidal transformer and discrete output transistors deliver the calm, mature sound you'd otherwise expect from significantly more expensive NAD devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA relaxed, natural sound with a clean background and honest dynamics – nothing is dressed up, nothing pushed forward. The built-in MM phono stage with precise RIAA equalization and a subsonic filter makes it a complete turntable amplifier at no extra cost. Five line inputs, a front input for your phone, and a clean headphone output cover the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the C 316BEE V2 for? (and who isn't it for)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for anyone who wants an honest, sonically mature stereo system without frills – as a first amplifier, for a home office or bedroom, or as a way into vinyl. \u003cstrong\u003eBottom line:\u003c\/strong\u003e if you expect streaming, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or a built-in DAC, this isn't for you – the C 316BEE V2 is deliberately pure analog. And if you want to fill a large hall with power-hungry speakers, you're better off with a bigger NAD. For normal living rooms the power is easily enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 316BEE V2 is one of the most honest value deals in all of hi-fi. No frills, but everything that counts – sound, phono, solid engineering. Cross our heart: for the price, you rarely get this much genuine NAD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: stereo integrated amplifier (analog)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous power: 2× 40 watts (8 \u0026amp; 4 ohms)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic power (IHF): 90 W (8 Ω) \/ 120 W (4 Ω) \/ 170 W (2 Ω)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal harmonic distortion (THD): \u0026lt; 0.03 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhono input: MM (moving magnet), RIAA with subsonic filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: 5× line (RCA) + front input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: 1 speaker pair, headphones (6.3 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTone control: bass\/treble, switchable (tone defeat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandby consumption: \u0026lt; 0.5 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W×H×D): 435 × 90 × 285 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat's included: integrated amplifier, IR remote control, power cable, user manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the C 316BEE V2 need a separate phono stage?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. A high-quality MM phono stage with precise RIAA equalization is already built in.

Thanks to PowerDrive, the amplifier briefly delivers over 100 watts for dynamic peaks.
