Description
HybridDigitalTM – Class D Amplifier
The C 268 uses innovative HybridDigitalTM technology. This is a self-oscillating Class D amplifier that operates with active negative feedback. It first converts the analog, sinusoidal input signal into a square wave signal via pulse width modulation (PWM). The music information is now exclusively contained in the changing pulse width. Since the power transistors thus only require two switching states – on or off – Hybrid DigitalTM Class D amplifiers, in contrast to Class A and B technology, operate extremely efficiently and achieve a power output of more than 90%.

Manufacturer information
C268
The NAD C 268 is a remarkably affordable stereo power amplifier whose versatility and technologies are not found in other amplifiers in its class. It is not only a perfect complement to the NAD C 658 preamplifier, but can also be used in numerous other configurations – for example, in combination with any stereo or A/V preamplifier, for bi-amping your loudspeakers, or as an upgrade to the NAD C 368 integrated amplifier, allowing both amplifiers to be operated in bridge mode. In mono mode, the NAD C 268 achieves a continuous output of a hefty 300 watts into 8 ohms; with both channels operating separately, it still mobilizes a generous 2 x 80 watts. Both balanced XLR inputs and classic RCA jacks are available for connection to the preamplifier. To enable optimal volume matching of all power amplifiers used in conjunction, the C 268 features a level control for the input signal.
