The NAD CI 9060 is a 'clean-sheet design' six-channel amplifier engineered to meet the demanding requirements of the advanced custom installation market. It sets new standards for bulletproof reliability and sonic performance in the category. Power, Power, Power Many amplifiers designed for multi-zone distributed audio are just not powerful enough to do the job properly. At 80 watts continuous power per channel, the CI 9060 boasts nearly double the power of most competing amps. This is very critical, because custom installations often demand that the signal be sent from one end of the home to the other. And the series resistance of long runs of speaker wire combined with impedance-matched volume controls can create special demands on an amplifier that the CI 9060 has been designed to overcome. OMC to the Rescue NAD's proprietary Output Management Circuit (OMC) ensures that the full power is available at any reasonable load impedance. If the load impedance falls below three ohms, indicating that something other than a loudspeaker is connected to the amplifier channel, the OMC will limit the power flow and prevent the amplifier from overdriving or overheating. OMC not only protects the amplifier, but it also prevents loads attached to the amplifier from heating up excessively, an important factor when the liability of an installed system is a consideration. When the OMC detects a potential fault situation and begins to limit current flow, an amber colored LED illuminates on the front panel to alert you to a problem in the system. When the OMC is activated, the amplifier will continue to play without distortion, but the power level will be reduced to the amplifier channel that has the problem. Built-in Absolute Reliability Every design decision, both electronic and mechanical, was made with absolute reliability as the primary goal. An auto-resetting protection circuit is part of the CI 9060's design. The fast-acting
