Naim NAP 350 - New Classic Mono Power Amplifier
Details
New Classic Mono Power Amplifier
Drive large and demanding loudspeakers with a pair of NAP 350's. Designed to effortlessly capture the true dynamics of music; this highly dynamic amplifier offers a precise musical performance.
Precision And Speed
The NAP 350 delivers high power with precision and speed. Naim's engineers have developed specific electronic circuits to give the New Classic products superior performance. The NAP 350 has a new high-current output stage that uses matched pairs of Statement's NA009 custom power transistors. Combined with our acclaimed DR technology, it guarantees a stable and low-noise power supply.
Timeless Design
The NAP 350 combines a sleek design and premium materials such as thermally conductive aluminium heatsinks. At Naim, they pride themselves in the clear-cut design of their products; avoiding any unnecessary embellishment that would detract from the performance and sound quality of the products.
Perfect Integration
A pair of NAP 350 combine perfectly with the NSS 333 streamer and the NAC 332 preamplifier, creating a complete system. The NAP 350 is a pure class-AB linear amplifier, running from fully regulated DR power supplies, producing 175W into 8 ohms and 345W into 4 ohms. It can deliver a peak power of up to 1.7kW to drive impedance dips of complex speaker crossover networks. The input is via a balanced XLR socket, facilitating industry-wide compatibility.
Aluminium Casing
Naim founder, Julian Vereker, immediately understood the many benefits of aluminium for wrapping Naim electronic components. He knew that delicate audio components are very sensitive to the effects of magnetic fields, unstable temperatures, and unwanted vibrations.
Legacy Ready
Thanks to the legacy range of Naim cabling, you can use the NAP 350 with a host of legacy Naim products.
New Triple Transistor CCS
The new triple transistor Constant Current Source (CCS) delicate gain stage - uses a newly developed CCS for improved sound quality.
Party-Proof
The new heatsink design responds to temperature fluctuations, keeping things cool - even as the party ramps up.
0.5W Standby Power
Using two internal power supplies; one is a high quality audiophile linear type, based on a large toroidal transformer. The other, a highly efficient SMPSU for 0.5W power consumption in standby mode.
Soft-Start Power Sequence
The NAP 350 features a soft-start power up sequence, preventing the large toroidal transformers from tripping mains circuit breakers due to the large influx of voltage required.
3.5mm Optical Inter-Product Link
On the rear of the NAP 350 you'll find a 3.5mm optical inter-product comms link to allow for synchronised system control, preventing ground loops. What's more, this facility offers LED brightness and power control.
