The C 268 uses NAD’s HybridDigital UcD amplifier design to deliver 80 Watts per channel with low noise and distortion. This reliable platform maintains clarity and composure even with demanding loudspeakers. Music plays with confidence and precision, allowing instruments and vocals to feel more natural and defined.
Featuring balanced and single-ended inputs, adjustable input levels, and a dedicated line output, the C 268 integrates easily with preamplifiers, processors, and additional amplifiers. These options support stereo playback, bi-amping, or expanding your system across multiple components. The result is a power amplifier that adapts to a wide range of setups with ease.
With a simple switch, the C 268 can be bridged into a powerful mono amplifier delivering up to 300 Watts of continuous power. This mode is ideal for driving more demanding loudspeakers or matching with a compatible NAD component such as the C 379. Your system gains greater headroom and dynamic impact for a more engaging listening experience.
A high-efficiency switch-mode power supply provides clean, stable voltage to all stages of the C 268. Its ability to deliver high current for musical peaks ensures consistent performance across a wide range of speakers. The quiet, carefully engineered design reduces noise and helps the amplifier maintain accuracy and focus during every listening session.
