The NAD CI 8-120 DSP V2 8-Channel Distribution Amplifier is a powerful, rack-mountable solution designed for high-performance multi-room audio systems. Delivering 120 watts per channel into 8 ohms across eight channels, this amplifier uses advanced HybridDigital amplification with Hypex UcD technology for low distortion, high efficiency, and consistent, dynamic sound. It can be bridged to four channels at 200 watts per channel, providing flexible power for demanding speaker loads and long cable runs.
Built for custom installations, the CI 8-120 DSP V2 features integrated DSP with a 5-band parametric EQ, high/low pass filters, and advanced tuning controls accessible via a web-based interface. Ethernet connectivity enables IP control, diagnostics, and seamless integration with systems like Control4 and Crestron. Its compact 1U rack design, thermostatic cooling, and energy-efficient standby modes ensure reliability and space efficiency. Ideal for residential or commercial installations, this amplifier delivers audiophile-grade performance with complete system control.
