NAD C298

Stereo Power Amplifier

The NAD C 298 Stereo Power Amplifier is designed to deliver exceptional clarity and control for high-performance music systems. Built around Purifi Eigentakt™ amplification, it allows loudspeakers to perform with greater precision and ease across a wide range of volumes. The C 298’s performance has earned international recognition from hi-fi and mainstream press, reflecting both its engineering and musical results. Designed to partner naturally with components such as the NAD C 658 BluOS Streaming DAC, the C 298 provides a stable, transparent foundation for advanced two-channel systems.

Key Features:

  • Purifi Eigentakt™ amplifier technology for exceptionally low noise and distortion
  • 185 watts per channel of continuous power into 8 ohms
  • Bridgeable mono mode delivering up to 620 watts into 8 ohms
  • Stable performance with demanding loudspeaker loads
  • Balanced and single-ended analogue inputs for flexible system integration
  • Input level control for precise matching with preamplifiers and sources
  • Line output for daisy chaining additional amplifiers or system expansion
  • Auto turn-on with selectable signal-sensing threshold
  • 12V trigger input and output plus ground lug for use in complex systems
  • Award-winning design recognised by EISA and The Absolute Sound
