The NAD C375BEE is a well-regarded integrated stereo amplifier known for its robust power output and musical performance. It's designed to deliver a dynamic and detailed sound, capable of driving a wide range of loudspeakers. A key feature is NAD's PowerDrive™ circuit , which intelligently adapts the amplifier's power supply to the impedance of the connected speakers, maximizing dynamic power and minimizing distortion.
The C375BEE boasts a substantial toroidal power transformer and high-current output transistors, allowing it to deliver significant continuous and dynamic power. It features a clean and straightforward design with a focus on sonic performance. It also incorporates NAD's Distortion Cancelling Circuit in the output stage and the BEE Clamp in the power supply, technologies borrowed from their higher-end Masters Series, aiming to reduce distortion and noise.
Connectivity includes multiple analog inputs, including two tape loops, and the option to add a phono module (PP375) for vinyl playback. It also offers pre-amp outputs for adding a separate power amplifier or subwoofer, and a main-amp input, allowing it to be used as a standalone power amplifier. Tone controls with a defeat switch are provided for basic sound shaping, which can be bypassed for a purer signal path.
