NAD Introduces Stereo Receiver

According to a company press release, NAD is introducing the C 725BEE stereo receiver ($800), which delivers performance normally associated with separate stereo components in one cost-effective, space-saving package.

The release continues by saying that C 725BEE was designed by NAD chief engineer Bjorn Erik Edvardsen and employs many of his proprietary circuit topologies including the PowerDrive circuit, which adds a second high-voltage rail to the high-current supply, enabling the amplifier to, in effect, achieve “overdrive” by nearly doubling the continuous power supplied on a short term dynamic power basis. Additional Edvardsen innovations include the Distortion Canceling Circuit and the BEE Clamp.

The release says that by incorporating the same type of high-current torroidal transformer used in NAD’s higher-end components, the C 725BEE is capable of providing 50 watts/channel of continuous power and as much as 200 watts for short dynamic passages. The receiver also features a Soft Clipping circuit to prevent the grating sound of hard clipping (and to help prevent damage to loudspeaker drive units—especially to tweeters).

The receiver also features a highly sensitive AM/FM tuner with 30 station presets and provides seven rear-panel inputs, a front-panel mini-jack for connecting portable music players, and an output for a subwoofer. The C 725BEE also has a line-level Zone 2 output that enables users to add an amplifier in another location and listen to music in both places using the same source.
