The all-new NAD 216 THX is part of a new range of power amplifiers which will further enhance NAD’s  
enviable reputation for state of the art products at sensible prices.  
The key design goals of the new range are PERFORMANCE and RELIABILITY. Both are attained at a very  
competitive price through efficient innovative design, simple circuitry and meticulous engineering.  
Circuitry  
The NAD 216 THX is designed with the capability to drive all types of musical signals effortlessly into the  
even most unreasonable of loudspeakers loads, down to below 1ohms. This is achieved by implementing  
a high output current amplifier powered from a “stiff” power supply.  
Pioneered by NAD for the highly acclaimed 208 THX, the 216 THX couples a bank of reservoir  
capacitors to a large toroidal transformer. Using a bank of capacitors rather than a single pair is both  
technically superior and more economical.  
The special Holmgren™ toroidal transformer has less hum and magnetic leakage than conventional  
toroidal transformers but retains the usual benefits of high efficiency and high power to weight ratio.  
The entire “front-end” is fed from a separate low-noise, high voltage, discrete component regulated  
power supply which effectively isolates the amplifier from power ripple and noise. Careful design  
incorporating sensible grounding results in an amplifier with an exceptionally clean, noise free output  
signal.  
Additional features  
For maximum flexibility, the NAD 216 THX can operate in bridged mono mode, typically tripling its  
continuous power rating into 8ohms. This makes the NAD 216 THX an ideal choice for a sub-woofer  
amplifier or high power centre channel amplifier in home theater applications. A pair of bridged NAD  
216 THX’s becomes a high current, high power stereo power amplifier, while retaining the refinement  
associated with smaller amplifiers.  
NAD was the first company to introduce a THX certified power amplifier. It was therefore no surprise the  
NAD 216 THX passed Lucas Films’ stringent THX requirements with flying colours. As a result the NAD  
216 THX will handle all dynamics with ease and yet retain every subtle detail in the most demanding THX  
Dolby Surround systems.  
The output relay protection circuit provides silent switch on and off, together with non-evasive protection  
against error conditions such as short circuits and overheating.  
The NAD 216 THX also incorporates NAD’s acclaimed switchable “Soft Clipping” circuit which  
significantly reduces the risk of damage due to prolonged high power operation.  
The listening experience  
The technological effort behind the NAD 216 THX results in a relaxed unstrained musicality with  
transparent , airy high frequencies, a deep, solid bass foundation and a smooth well-integrated  
midrange.
