CI PA4-60

Power Amplifier Module

The CI PA4-60 Power Amplifier Module is a versatile four-channel custom installation amplifier that combines NAD’s renowned performance with exceptional scalability in a compact 1/3 width x 1U height design. Offering flexible configuration for 4 x 60W or 2 x 120W of DirectDigital™ amplification, it promises powerful, transparent, and detailed sound backed by five decades of expertise.

Compact and Powerful

Part of NAD’s new CI Modular Series, the CI PA4-60 is designed with minimal rack space requirements (1/3 width x 1U height) while still managing to pack in a 4 x 60W DirectDigital™ amplifier. With NAD’s legendary load invariant amplification design, the CI PA4-60 effectively handles long cable runs and difficult speaker loads, producing clear and detailed audio at even low SPL. This amplifier is highly reliable and efficient, designed with thermostatic fan cooling to pull air through from the front to the rear of the unit, meaning they can be stacked with minimal space between.

Versatile Use Cases

The amp can be used in a standalone configuration or daisy chained with multiple PA4-60s via the analogue loop out, powering up to 12 channels in just 1U of rack space. It be used in a multi-room system or to power additional effects channels when paired with an NAD AV Receiver. Additionally, with its Dynamic Load Management feature, the amplifier can auto-detect whether one or two pairs of speakers are connected, routing the power to a 2 x 120 wpc or 4 x 60 wpc configuration.

Flexible to Use

Mount the CI PA4-60 to a wall or in a rack with the included keyholes, rack ears and interlocking in-rack connection system, as well as rubber feet for surface placement. It also has a multitude of inputs and outputs, including 2 x RCA line inputs with a global/local dip switch and gain control, 2 x 4-pin snap-on Phoenix block speaker connectors, stereo/mono dip switches, and trigger in/out, offering integrators an unprecedented amount of flexibility in mounting and connectivity.
