Power Where It Matters Most

With 150 watts available per channel, the CI 8-150 DSP V2 is designed for zones that demand greater output and control. It is well suited for larger rooms, architectural loudspeakers, or systems where multiple speakers are driven from a single zone. By concentrating higher power into an eight-channel platform, installers can meet performance requirements without adding additional amplification, keeping systems efficient and manageable.

Integrated DSP for System Accuracy

The CI 8-150 DSP V2 incorporates onboard digital signal processing to help installers fine-tune performance to the loudspeakers and environment. DSP allows precise adjustment to achieve balanced output, consistent tonal response, and reliable system behaviour across zones. Integrating DSP directly into the amplifier reduces the need for external processors and simplifies system architecture while supporting predictable, repeatable results.

HybridDigital Amplification Architecture

NAD’s HybridDigital amplification provides the foundation for the CI 8-150 DSP V2’s performance and efficiency. This design minimises heat and power consumption while maintaining control and clarity across all channels. The result is stable operation during extended use and consistent sound quality at both moderate and higher listening levels, making it well suited for demanding multi-zone installations.
