NB Audio - NAOS - Stereo Amplifier - COMING SOON

***Expected to release Summer 2024/25 - Final pricing TBC***

Description:

Introducing 'NAOS', NB Audio's Stereo Amplifier featuring Hypex's Ultra-Low distortion amplifier technology. Our 'NAOS' takes one of the highest quality amplifier modules ever built and houses it in a 100% locally manufactured chassis.

Hypex's Ncore technology has changed the way we see Class D amplification by overcoming many of the traditional limitations associated with Class D designs, such as high distortion and limited fidelity at higher frequencies. Unlike earlier Class D amplifiers, which were often criticized for lacking the warmth and clarity of Class A or AB designs, Ncore technology offers a combination of ultra-low distortion, high efficiency, and exceptional linearity across the frequency range. This breakthrough in switching amplifier design has redefined expectations, making Class D amplifiers viable for high-end audio applications where accuracy and sound quality are paramount. The result is an amplifier that not only delivers clean, powerful sound but also runs cooler and more efficiently, making it suitable for a wide range of audio setups. 

Producing up to 500W per channel (1% THD, 4Ω) or 250W per channel (0.0018%, 4Ω) with a SNR of 124db, it makes it one of the highest performing amplifiers on the market.

For more information on our amplifiers and why we feel they are one of the best value amplifiers available in Australia, we encourage you to read our Amplifier FAQ found here.
