NAD Electronics announced the CI Modular Series of audio streaming amps aimed at both commercial and residential applications and housed in a 1/3U width x 1U height rack-mount enclosure. The series includes three models, to start:

  • NAD CI S1 Single Zone Streamer — A streaming solution for music playback
  • NAD CI SA2-120 BluOS Streaming Amplifier — An amplifier with BluOS integration for multi-room streaming
  • NAD CI PA4-60 4 Channel Power Amplifier — A four-channel power amplifier

Part of the BluOS ecosystem, the NAD CI Modular series offers the same interface for high-resolution music streaming and multi-zone audio management. The NAD CI Modular products are expected to start shipping in July 2025.

In addition to the new Modular Series, NAD’s CI DSP amplifier range has been updated with a new UI. The CI 8-150 DSP, CI 8-120 DSP, and CI 16-60 DSP feature a more intuitive dashboard than they had before that displays live status checks. The updated Zones page allows grouping of channels, zone-specific sleep functions, and global input flexibility. The improved DSP section adds limiters, delay, and phase control, enabling seamless subwoofer integration. Additional upgrades include better layout, power management, password protection, reduced boot-up time, and enhanced third-party API integration with expanded remote monitoring.
