NAD C 316BEE V2 + Wharfedale Crystal 4.3 Hi-Fi System Package

C 316BEE V2

Stereo Integrated Amplifier

NAD has a distinct reputation for creating some of the best performing budget amplifiers of all time. The lineage is impressive, all the way from the 3020 of 1978 to the current C 328, with many “Best Amp” awards and five-star reviews along the way. The C 316BEE lived up to expectations, garnering multiple accolades including an EISA award for ‘Best Product 2008-2009’ and top recommendations from the world’s leading audio publications. With the resurgence of vinyl we decided to update the design by including NAD’s highly acclaimed RIAA phono stage. This sophisticated circuit combines low noise with high overload margins to eliminate noise and distortion. RIAA equalization is extremely accurate (a rarity at this price) and there is even an infrasonic filter to reject airborne vibrations that can cause parasitic feedback.

Improving the Budget Reference Amplifier

Proven Technology Enhanced by Innovation

NAD’s PowerDrive Circuit has been proven to offer a remarkable combination of high current drive needed for complex loudspeaker loads, and high levels of undistorted dynamic power. By monitoring the precise operating condition of the power amplifier, PowerDrive uses this intelligence to automatically optimize the power supply settings for uniformly low distortion and maximum power in the real world of music listening. As featured in our top Masters Series models, PowerDrive uses a complex ‘analogue computer’ to determine the optimal settings. For the C 316BEE V2, NAD’s Director of Advanced Development, Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, developed a clever new computation circuit requiring fewer parts at a much lower cost without any reduction in effectiveness.
All the hallmarks of NAD technology are present, from the generously sized toroidal power transformer and low ESR smoothing capacitors, to the multiple regulated secondary supplies, to the heavy duty discrete output transistors, the C 316BEE V2 is every bit as refined and sophisticated as other NAD amplifiers.

改进预算参考放大器

经过实践证明的技术，通过创新增强了技术

NAD的PowerDrive电路已被证明能够提供复杂扬声器负载所需的大电流驱动和高水平的不失真动态功率的卓越组合。通过监测功率放大器的精确工作状态，PowerDrive利用这种智能自动优化电源设置，以实现在现实世界中聆听音乐时的均匀低失真和最大功率。正如我们顶级Masters 系列型号的特色，PowerDrive使用复杂的"模拟计算机"来确定最佳设置。对于C 316BEE V2，NAD的高级开发总监Bjorn Erik Edvardsen开发了一种巧妙的新计算电路，所需的零件更少，成本更低，而效果却不减。
所有NAD技术的特点都存在，从大尺寸的环形电源变压器和低ESR平滑电容，到多级稳压次级电源，再到重型分立输出晶体管，C 316BEE V2与其他NAD放大器一样精致和复杂。

Value

We are confident that the C 316BEE V2 will set new benchmarks for performance, both measured and audible, at this affordable price point. Unless you have power hungry speakers, listen at dangerously loud levels, or have a very large room, the C 316BEE V2 will be the amplifier for you. Fundamental specifications for noise, distortion, power, stereo separation, and volume control tracking, are all class leading and would be impressive on an amplifier costing many times its modest price.

值

我们有信心，C 316BEE V2将在这个实惠的价位上为性能设定新的基准，无论是测量还是听觉，都是如此。除非你有大功率的扬声器，听起来很吵，或有一个非常大的房间，C 316BEE V2将是你的放大器。噪声、失真、功率、立体声分离度和音量控制跟踪等基本规格都是一流的，在价格比它高很多倍的功放上会令人印象深刻。

Simplicity

While the C 316BEE V2 has everything necessary for musical enjoyment, it is refreshingly limited to the essentials: six inputs, one set of speakers, a headphone jack, and full function remote control. It has a compact size and a handsome yet understated exterior. It is essential NAD.

简单

虽然C 316BEE V2具备了音乐享受所需的一切，但它的基本功能却令人耳目一新：6个输入、一组扬声器、一个耳机插孔和全功能遥控器。它拥有小巧的体积和帅气而低调的外观。它是必不可少的NAD。

While its bells and whistles may not be as extensive as our more expensive offerings, the C 316V2 is far from a “stripped down” product. With five line level inputs, an MM Phono Input, full IR remote control, defeatable tone controls and a front panel input for a phone or tablet, the C 316V2 is fully equipped to be the control center for a high performance music system. Continuous power is a conservative 40 watts, and dynamic power (more important for music listening) is impressively more than 100 watts! This is far more usable power on tap than other amplifiers at this price, and this power is available across the entire audible band at a class leading 0.03%.

The sonic result of this high technology is a relaxed and inviting sound that digs out the subtle details in your favourite recordings and presents them across a panoramic stereo sound stage. The impressive dynamic power reserves make the C 316BEE V2 sound both articulate and alive. The silent background and low distortion gives a sense of solidity and presence to your music and brings out the best your loudspeakers have to offer

虽然C 316V2的功能可能没有我们更昂贵的产品那么丰富，但C 316V2绝不是一个 "精简 "的产品。C 316V2拥有5个线级输入、MM唱机输入、全红外遥控器、可击败的音质控制和一个用于手机或平板电脑的前面板输入，C 316V2完全可以成为高性能音乐系统的控制中心。保守的连续功率为40瓦，动态功率（对听音乐更重要）则是100瓦以上，令人印象深刻！这在音乐系统中的使用功率远远超过了传统的40瓦。这比这个价位的其他功放的可用功率要多得多，而且这个功率在整个可听频段内的功率都是0.03%，处于领先地位。

这种高科技的声音效果是一种轻松和诱人的声音，可以挖掘出您最喜爱的录音中的微妙细节，并在全景立体声舞台上呈现出来。令人印象深刻的动态功率储备使C 316BEE V2的声音既清晰又活泼。寂静的背景和低失真为您的音乐带来坚实感和存在感，并将您的扬声器所能提供的最好的声音展现出来。

Crystal 4.3

Crystal 4 series has been engineered for excitement — particularly for movies and music, a Crystal 4 system demonstrates coverage and depth usually associated with much more expensive home cinema systems. Intoxicating high frequencies, powerful bass — it’s mostly thanks to our tried and tested driver technology.

Kevlar is the chosen material for the low frequency drivers in Wharfedale’s leading products— It’s light, stiff and strong. Even our entry level range in Crystal 4 uses a premium Woven Kevlar  weave in its bass and mid drivers (100mm bass driver on Crystal 4.1 bookshelf and a 125mm mid driver on the Crystal 4.3 floorstander). Combined with Wharfedale’s advanced motor systems and in-house manufacturing to guarantee the highest quality, the Crystal 4 delivers speech with clarity and sonic impact for movie special effects.

On the Crystal 4.3 floorstander an additional polypropylene bass driver completes the speaker and again, in-house manufacturing allows proprietary techniques to be used, ensuring the best possible performance. Where inferior polypropylene drivers can distort under the stress of highly dynamic music and soundtracks Wharfedale engineers use a specific technique to reduce this effect. A special Hot Compacted Woven Polypropylene is used, where aligned polypropylene fibres are added in a matrix of thermoformed polypropylene. This results in a much stronger drive unit and therefore lowering distortion, even with large musical peaks.

The Crystal 4 Series also includes the Crystal 4.C centre channel loudspeaker. Possibly the most important speaker in a home cinema system, responsible for approximately 80% of the dialogue, special attention has been paid for an immediate, ‘in the room’ sound with a natural balance. The soft dome tweeter, as seen in all Crystal 4 models ensures a wide dispersion, allowing multiple listeners to experience the same, rich sound-field.

The Crystal 4 Series is finished in a choice of black, white or walnut vinyl wrapped options to match in every home. The Crystal 4.1 also features a rear plate with wall mounting fixture.

Crystal4.3 落地 喇叭 

華麗璀璨誕生，Wharfedale最新水晶系列第四代劇院喇叭

2014年末Wharfedale發售了最具代表性的主力鑽石Diamond 200系列，連續在國際各大音響媒體獲獎連連，而2016年也如期再發表高階的REVA全鋼烤系列，IAG音響集團不斷為這享譽超過80年的英國揚聲器老字號廠牌注入新活力，從不間斷的研發新技術產品，而過去頗受入門級市場歡迎的Crystal水晶系列也堂堂邁入第四代。

水晶系列暢銷的因素不只是其價格帶因素，真正令消費者垂青的在於其清新舒適的設計，包含箱體外觀及單體的選用，箱體外觀設計為穩定堅固的梯形結構，有效減緩中低音單體發聲運動時產生的共振，讓低頻效果更清晰有力。而單體設計方面，高音與中低音單體連成的招牌水晶型外罩，正是其一貫的視覺符號。而新的水晶四代高音單體改用與鑽石系列同樣的絲質軟半球，取代過去第三代的鈦鐵高音，絲質軟半球的高音表現更為自然通透；中低音單體也由三代的天然纖維升級為鑽石8~10代採用的Kevlar功夫龍單體，在此價位帶顯得特別超值，也更加扎實耐用，足以應付大動態的劇院音效。

水晶四代配合現今居家裝潢潮流，除了傳統經典黑木色外，也推出了與鑽石200系列同樣的雅致白，再搭配搶眼的金黃色中低音單體，摩登與素雅風格相益結合，在超值的預算內同時讓您獲得視覺與聽覺的雙重享受。
