Naim NAP 250 Power Amplifier

Key Features

• 100 Watt in 8 ohms
• Can be used with legacy products via the legacy range of cables.
• Separate DR PSUs for the power amplifier, including the XLR input stage.
• Eight NA009 Naim custom-designed power transistors as developed for Statement (4 for the PSUs and 4 for the output stages). Each is mounted on ceramic insulators for ultra-low capacitive coupling.
• New triple transistor constant current source (CCS) in the delicate gain stage - uses a newly developed CCS for improved sound quality.
• Party-proof: new heatsink design responds to temperature fluctuation, keeping things cool.
• 20-minute auto power off for legacy systems will wake on detecting music (auto off can be disabled).
• 0.5W standby power Using two internal power supplies; one is a high-quality audiophile linear type, based on a large toroidal transformer. The other is a highly efficient SMPSU for 0.5W power consumption in standby during
• standby mode.
• Soft-start power-up sequence, preventing the large toroidal transformers from tripping mains circuit breakers due to the large influx of voltage required.
• 3.5mm optical inter-product communications for synchronised system control, preventing ground loops. This facility offers LED brightness and power control.
• Eddy current divide is situated between speaker output terminals for improved sound quality.
• Custom audiophile components such as polystyrene capacitors in filter circuits for low dielectric absorption.
• Through-hole components reduce microphony signal noise picked up via the circuit board fluctuations.
• 5-year warranty when registered with Naim- click here to register your product

NAP 250 – THE ICONIC POWER AMP: BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER

To drive the speakers – and music – of your choice to new heights, simply pair the NSC 222 with its perfect partner: the NAP 250 power amplifier. In continuous production since 1975, the NAP 250 has gained iconic status. Featuring trickle-down technology from Naim’s flagship Statement amplifier, the new sixth-generation model delivers more power, even better performance, and greater system-matching flexibility.

The new NAP 250 is a 100W per channel dual-model design, with full power regulation. It’s a party-proof design: its heatsink reacts as the volume increases, keeping things cool. Other enhancements include the addition of true
balanced XLR connections, plus a range of trickle-down technology from Naim’s flagship Statement amplifier, including an eddy-current circuit breaker between the speaker outputs.
