High-Density Amplification for Multi-Zone Systems

The CI 16-60 V2 delivers sixteen channels of amplification from a single rack-mount chassis, allowing installers to power multiple rooms or zones efficiently. This high channel density reduces the need for additional amplifiers, helping simplify rack layouts and system wiring. Whether deployed in residential whole-home audio or light commercial installations, the CI 16-60 V2 provides a clean, centralized solution for multi-zone amplification.

Refined HybridDigital Performance

At the core of the CI 16-60 V2 is NAD’s HybridDigital amplification, chosen for its balance of efficiency, stability, and sound quality. By minimizing heat generation and maintaining low noise and distortion, the amplifier delivers consistent performance across all channels. This refined approach supports reliable operation during extended listening sessions while preserving clarity and control throughout the system.

Flexible Channel Configuration

Bridgeable channel pairs allow the CI 16-60 V2 to adapt to varying power requirements within the same installation. Installers can allocate additional output to zones that need more headroom while maintaining standard power delivery elsewhere. This flexibility makes it possible to address diverse room sizes and listening needs using a single amplifier platform, streamlining both system design and inventory.
