CI 980

Multi-Channel Amplifier

8 channels of clean NAD Power

With the CI 980, NAD introduces a new generation of high performance amplification for custom installation and distributed audio systems. The CI 980 has 8 channels of clean, low distortion power set up in a 4 stereo zone configuration. Boasting 50 watts per channel, the CI 980 is designed to drive low impedance speakers and long wire runs. By utilizing the latest high efficiency switching amplifier technology, the CI 980 is an all-new design built to be small, light, and very energy efficient, with superb musical sound quality for which NAD is known.

No worries, No hassle

System reliability and simple installation were the primary objectives in the CI 980 design. The 2U rack height and included rack ears make excellent use of precious rack space, while the highly efficient amplifier produces very little heat, allowing multiple CI 980s to be used in a single rack. Thermostatically controlled forced air-cooling ensures a long trouble-free service life. Phoenix speaker connection blocks make installation a snap, and a selectable local or global input further simplifies wiring. The bridging feature allows any pair of channels to become a single high power channel.

Simplicity in Integration

The CI 980 offers a choice of DC trigger or signal-sensing auto on with auto shut-off.

Our signal sensing circuit employs a sophisticated music sensing circuit to prevent the false triggers common with noisy source components, or other types of interference noise like RF leakage or ground loops. Rack install is made neat and efficient, thanks to inputs and triggers that offer daisy chain outputs.

Well protected, Energy-saving

The CI 980 voltage is universal, which can be important in marine and avionics installations. The amplifier is fully protected from short-circuiting and overheating, plus operation is automatically restored after the condition is rectified. Indicator lamps for each zone show protection status and amplifier clipping. With <0.5W Standby consumption and highly efficient power delivery, the CI 980 will impress with its energy efficiency.

Award-winning Sonics

NAD is in the top tier of all amplifier brands, consistently winning awards for both performance and value for money. The CI 980 offers warm, expansive and intensely musical sound, designed to drive real world speaker loads. You will love the way the CI 980 brings out the best performance from any speaker for a remarkable listening experience. It is also extremely quiet with inaudible residual noise in no signal conditions, important when using efficient speakers in small spaces.

Great for everyday use
We use these daily. I buy the complete set then boxes of each to refill. Very sturdy utensils. Size is perfect. Very easy to clean to use after dinner for deserts. Knives work very well and fork ends are sharp enough to stick in your food to eat. Only brand we use now.

Great quality!
These are every bit as good as the more expensive plastic ware. They’re thick and sturdy. I particularly like the cutouts in the handle. They’re easier for me to grip and keep ahold of. Extremely happy with this purchase.

Great product
Style: Standard, Size: 3 Count
Title: Good product, worth buying “I’m happy with this purchase. The product arrived on time and was easy to use. The quality is good for the price, and it works as expected. I’ve been using it for a few days and haven’t had any major issues. There are a couple of small things that could be improved, but overall it does the job well. I would recommend it to others looking for a reliable option.”

A must have for great tasting water
Style: Standard, Size: 6
These Brita filters are a staple in my house. They’re super easy to swap out and start working right away. The difference in water taste is noticeable—no more chlorine or odd aftertaste, just clean, fresh water. I love buying the multi-pack because it lasts for months and saves me from constantly reordering. Each filter holds up well and keeps the water consistently tasting great. It’s also a great alternative to bottled water, which saves money and cuts down on plastic use. Simple, reliable, and totally worth it!
