Features

Soft Clipping: NAD's Soft Clipping circuit gently limits the output of the C 725BEE to minimize audible distortion when the amplifier is over-driven. While Soft Clipping can be left on at all times to reduce the likelihood of audible distortion from excessive volume settings, you can also turn the circuit off for critical listening if you prefer.

Pre-out/Main-in Loop: Factory jumpers connect the main amplifier input to the full range preamp outputs. This offers the flexibility of inserting an equalizer, surround processor (when using multiple amps), or another type of processor between the two stages.

Tone Defeat: Bass and treble are adjusted using the rotary knobs on the front panel. The Tone Defeat feature bypasses these controls and is engaged with a button on the front panel or the remote.

Tuner: The AM/FM tuner can store up to 40 AM or FM presets. You can assign a name to each preset, up to 12 characters. The tuner also features RDS (Radio Data System); a service used by some radio stations to transmit data other than the audio signal (program type, text information, traffic announcements, etc).

Record Out/Zone 2: The stereo RCA line level outputs can be used as a signal for a recording component (tape, CD, etc) or a second zone. The source is selected independently of the main source and is not effected by the volume control. The included ZR 5 second zone remote controls the zone 2 output.

Sleep Timer: The sleep timer turns the unit off after a delay of 15 to 90 minutes (adjustable in 15 minute intervals).

Remote Control: The SR 8 wireless remote will control the C 725BEE and NAD CD players.

Front Input: A 3.5mm mini-jack input on the front panel is labeled MP (Media Player); there is also an RCA MP input on to rear panel which is automatically disconnected when the front panel input is used.

Connections
