it. When set to the maximum position, the output level will be identical
to that
of the PRE OUT 1 sockets. Refer also to the item below about
"Bi-Amping':
BI·AMPING
Some loudspeakers have separate connection terminals for the LF (Low
Frequency) and HF (High Frequency) sections of the speaker. This facility
allows to"Bi-Amp"these
speakers, where a separate power amplifier
is used for the LF and HF section, which may improve overall sound
quality.
The C 37SBEE provides two sets ofpreamplifier outputs (PRE OUT 1 and
PRE OUT 2) to facilitate the connections for Bi-Amping. Moreover, the level
from PRE OUT 2 can be reduced in relation to PRE OUT 1to accommodate
power
amplifiers with different gain (amplification factor).
To set up the C 37SBEE with power amplifiers first decide which power
amplifier
has the highest gain. This is easily done by comparing the
loudness level ofthe power amplifiers in an identical system (keep the
volume control
at the same level; use the same source and speakers).The
amplifier that plays louder has the highest gain (note that this does not
need to be the more powerful amplifier of the two). Connect the amplifier

12 BRIDGE MODE: The C 37SBEE amplifier can be configured to be
MONO (Bridge Mode), more than doubling its output power. This way,
the C 37SBEE can be used as part of ahigh power stereo or home-
theatre
system, by connecting additional power amplifiers.
In BRIDGED MODE (switch at ON setting), the C 37SBEE will produce
apprOXimately 330W into an Bohm loudspeaker. In this mode, the
amplifier sections will
react as though the speaker impedance has been
halved. Low impedance speakers (under 8 ohms) are not recommended
when using Bridge Mode
as these may cause the amplifier's thermal
cut-out to operate if
played at high levels.
Set the BRIDGE MODE switch to the "ON" position and connect the
speaker to the terminals marked"L +" and "R+"ensuring that the "L+"
is connected to the" +"terminal of your loudspeaker and the "R+" is
connected to the loudspeaker's" -"terminal. Connect the source to
the Left
INPUT sockets.
The BRIDGE MODE indicator on the front panel will illuminate when the
C
37SBEE is in Bridge mode. Return normal speaker connections (Refer
also to the item below about "SPEAKERS A,B"). and keep BRIDGE MODE
switch to "OFF" position for normal stereo listening.
NOTE
Do notconnect anything to the Right Input socket when Bridge Mode is
selected.
13SOFT CLIPPING'": Enables NAD's proprietary Soft Clipping circuitry'
on all channels. At [ON] position, Soft Clipping gently limits the output
of the C 37SBEE to minimize audible distortion should the amplifier be
over-driven. Soft Clipping may simply be left ON at all times to reduce
the likelihood
of audible distortion from excessive volume settings.
However, for critical listening and to preserve optimum dynamics, you
may wish to defeat it by setting this switch to "OFF" position.
The SOFT CLIPPING indicatoron the front panel will illuminate when
the C
37SBEE is in Soft Clipping mode. See also below the item about
"POWERDRIVE~
POWER DRIVE
The C 37SBEE uses NAD's proprietary PowerDrive'" amplifier technology
for
all channels to preserve accurate, linear reproduction regardless
of the loudspeaker. This uniquely efficient power-supply topology
prOVides the real-world benefits of high dynamic power that remains
uncompromised by low-impedance speakers.
By adding a second high-voltage rail to our well regulated high-current
power
supply, we get an "overdrive"that can nearly double the continuous
power
on a short term dynamic power basis. PowerDrive offers greater
amplifier stability and low impedance drive capability, resulting in less
distortion when driving real speakers with real program material.

USBINPUTOFTHISPRODUCT
Because of the great variety of PC-compatible computer systems,
operating system versions, and peripherals currently in use, we do not
guarantee ‘glitch free’ performance with all such systems. This NAD
product uses a special ‘asynchronous’ USB mode that eliminates the very
high levels of jitter (digital timing errors) endemic to the USB interface.
While this mode oers superior audio quality, it is not a common mode
of operation for some USB driver software. If you experience audio
dropouts we suggest trying an alternate PC or PC operating system.
In general, we nd Apple computers to be the most stable for this
application.
For those using PCs, we have developed a NAD USB Audio driver that
improves your PC’s performance, especially those running Windows 7.
Visit NAD’s website (http://nadelectronics.com) and go to this product’s
page. Then, download “NAD USB Audio Driver” from the “Manuals and

The C 375BEE has added the MDC DAC module to bring the convenience of
computer music to your system with NAD musical performance fully intact.
USB is a computer standard for high speed data transmission but it has a
feature set tilted towards PC use. USB sends information in “data packets”
which makes the system very robust. There is also a trac manager that can
vary the size and sequence of the packets – good for PC, bad for music.
These timing variations create a condition called“jitter”– small
variations that create a harsh distortion. Thanks to a technique known as
“asynchronous USB”, MDC DAC module’s high precision clock eliminates this
distortion (jitter) usually associated with music in a computer environment.
With the DAC module now installed in the C 375BEE, refer below for
descriptions of key DAC module parts.
