NAD C350 60W Integrated Amplifier Hi-Fi Audio

The NAD C350 is a classic integrated amplifier rated at 60W per channel into 8Ω, with considerably more dynamic headroom than the headline rating suggests. It can deliver around 135W into 8Ω, 190W into 4Ω and 240W into 2Ω, making it capable of handling demanding speakers with confidence. Key specifications include 0.03% THD, damping factor above 150, frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz ±0.3dB, and a wide 3Hz–70kHz bandwidth. It features NAD’s Impedance Sensing Circuit (ISC), a toroidal transformer, discrete circuitry, multiple line inputs, pre-out/main-in connections, headphone output, tone defeat, NAD Link, 12V trigger and Soft Clipping.

Sonically, the C350 has the classic NAD combination of strong rhythm, excellent bass control and good dynamic ability, but with a relatively clean and controlled presentation. The generous current capability allows it to produce punchy bass and maintain composure when driving more demanding speakers, while the high damping factor contributes to tight speaker control. It is particularly enjoyable with rock, jazz, vocals and acoustic music, where its combination of timing and dynamic contrast gives music a lively, involving quality.

The C350 is an underrated NAD integrated amplifier, especially on the used market. It sits in a sweet spot where it offers significantly more authority than its 60W specification suggests while retaining NAD’s simple, practical design philosophy. Its preamp/main-in separation also makes it useful for system upgrades later. For someone looking for a classic NAD with good power, strong current delivery, tight bass and an engaging musical presentation, the C350 remains a very worthwhile choice.
