NAD C268

Expansive Power
The C 268 is an amazingly affordable amplifier with features and technology unmatched by other amplifiers in its class. This advanced amplifier includes many cutting edge technological breakthroughs developed by NAD over a 40-year history of creating affordable ultra-high performance audio components.

Amazing Flexibility
The C 268 may be a basic Power Amp, but we have carefully thought through all the use cases typically encountered to create a rich feature content. Selectable balanced inputs make the C 268 a natural for connection to high end Preamps and Processors.
These inputs include a trim control useful for matching to other components or for use in bi-amping Speakers. A line out allows further addition of power on the same channel for additional speakers or subwoofers. Alternatively the C 268 can be paired with our NAD
C 368 Integrated DAC Amp, and with both units bridged for Mono, 300 distortion-free watts per channel are available for your listening pleasure! Auto-sense with selectable threshold is perfect for automating complex systems or hiding the amp out of sight in a
cabinet. We even include a Ground Lug that can be very useful for eliminating ground loops and noise in complex multi-unit systems.

Added to all this connectivity is a Bridge
Switch that turns the C 268 into an amazingly powerful Monoblock Amplifier. Start with one and add a second C 268 later when you upgrade your speakers.
