NAD C 316BEE V2 Integrated Amplifier
The NAD C 316BEE V2 is a stereo integrated amplifier built for music lovers who want genuine audiophile performance at an accessible price. Available at Vinyl Sound Toronto, Canada, the C 316BEE V2 continues NAD's legendary lineage — from the iconic 3020 of 1978 through to the current C 328 — earning multiple "Best Amp" awards and five-star reviews from the world's leading audio publications along the way.
The original C 316BEE set the benchmark for entry-level hi-fi, earning the prestigious EISA Award for Best Product 2008–2009. With the resurgence of vinyl, NAD updated the design to include their highly acclaimed RIAA phono stage — making the V2 one of the most complete and best-value integrated amplifiers available in Canada today.
What makes the NAD C 316BEE V2 stand out?
At the heart of the C 316BEE V2 is NAD's PowerDrive-STM technology, which continuously optimises power delivery for stable, dynamic performance across all speaker loads. The result is 40 watts of honest, full-disclosure continuous power — with dynamic headroom that far exceeds what the spec sheet suggests.
The newly added MM phono stage features extremely accurate RIAA equalisation (rare at this price point), low noise, high overload margins, and an infrasonic filter that rejects airborne vibrations causing parasitic feedback — ensuring your vinyl collection is reproduced with warmth, clarity, and precision.
Key features
- Built-in MM phono input with accurate RIAA equalisation and infrasonic filter — connect your turntable directly
- 40W continuous power per channel (NAD Full Disclosure Power, both channels driven, 20Hz–20kHz, <0.03% THD)
- PowerDrive-STM amplifier technology for stable, dynamic performance with real-world speaker loads
- 5 line-level inputs for CD player, streamer, DAC, and more
- Front-panel 3.5mm input for smartphones and portable media players

- Gold-plated RCA connectors for reliable, low-resistance connections
- Multi-way speaker binding posts
- Toroidal power transformer for a quiet, stable power supply
- Full system remote control — also operates NAD CD players
- Less than 0.5W standby power consumption — energy efficient and RoHS compliant
