The NAD CI 8-120 DSP V2 is a professional-grade eight-channel network power amplifier designed for demanding custom installation and multi-room audio applications. Combining NAD's proven HybridDigital™ amplification platform with integrated digital signal processing, it delivers clean, efficient power while providing installers with advanced system optimization tools in a compact 1U rack-mount chassis.
Each of its eight amplifier channels delivers 120 watts of continuous power into 8-ohm speakers with all channels driven simultaneously, ensuring consistent performance across distributed audio systems. For installations requiring greater output, adjacent channel pairs can be bridged to produce 200 watts into 8 ohms, providing the flexibility to power larger loudspeakers or more demanding listening zones.
A key advantage of the CI 8-120 DSP V2 is its integrated DSP platform, which allows installers to configure crossover settings, equalization, speaker protection, and channel routing through an intuitive browser-based WebUI. Automatic signal sensing, trigger support, and flexible analog inputs simplify integration into sophisticated residential and commercial AV systems while reducing installation time.
Built for reliability and continuous operation, the CI 8-120 DSP V2 combines efficient Class D amplification with advanced processing and installation flexibility. Whether powering a whole-home audio system, a luxury multi-zone residence, or a commercial sound installation, it delivers the performance, control, and dependability expected from NAD's Custom Install Series.
