NAD C 316BEE V2 Integrated Amplifier

The NAD C 316BEE V2 is a stereo integrated amplifier built for music lovers who want genuine audiophile performance at an accessible price. Available at Vinyl Sound Toronto, Canada, the C 316BEE V2 continues NAD's legendary lineage — from the iconic 3020 of 1978 through to the current C 328 — earning multiple "Best Amp" awards and five-star reviews from the world's leading audio publications along the way.

The original C 316BEE set the benchmark for entry-level hi-fi, earning the prestigious EISA Award for Best Product 2008–2009. With the resurgence of vinyl, NAD updated the design to include their highly acclaimed RIAA phono stage — making the V2 one of the most complete and best-value integrated amplifiers available in Canada today.

What makes the NAD C 316BEE V2 stand out?

At the heart of the C 316BEE V2 is NAD's PowerDrive-STM technology, which continuously optimises power delivery for stable, dynamic performance across all speaker loads. The result is 40 watts of honest, full-disclosure continuous power — with dynamic headroom that far exceeds what the spec sheet suggests.

The newly added MM phono stage features extremely accurate RIAA equalisation (rare at this price point), low noise, high overload margins, and an infrasonic filter that rejects airborne vibrations causing parasitic feedback — ensuring your vinyl collection is reproduced with warmth, clarity, and precision.

Key features

  • Built-in MM phono input with accurate RIAA equalisation and infrasonic filter — connect your turntable directly
  • 40W continuous power per channel (NAD Full Disclosure Power, both channels driven, 20Hz–20kHz, <0.03% THD)
  • PowerDrive-STM amplifier technology for stable, dynamic performance with real-world speaker loads
  • 5 line-level inputs for CD player, streamer, DAC, and more
  • Front-panel 3.5mm input for smartphones and portable media players
  • Front-panel headphone output for private listening
  • Bass and treble controls with tone defeat (bypass) for a pure signal path
  • Gold-plated RCA connectors for reliable, low-resistance connections
  • Multi-way speaker binding posts
  • Toroidal power transformer for a quiet, stable power supply
  • Full system remote control — also operates NAD CD players
  • Less than 0.5W standby power consumption — energy efficient and RoHS compliant

Frequently asked questions

Does the NAD C 316BEE V2 have a built-in phono stage?

Yes. The NAD C 316BEE V2 includes a high-quality moving-magnet (MM) phono preamplifier with accurate RIAA equalisation and an infrasonic filter. You can connect any turntable with an MM cartridge directly — no external phono stage required.

How much power does the NAD C 316BEE V2 produce?

The C 316BEE V2 delivers 40 watts per channel of continuous power (both channels driven, 20Hz–20kHz, <0.03% THD). IHF dynamic power reaches 90W into 8 ohms, 120W into 4 ohms, and 170W into 2 ohms — giving it far more usable headroom than the rated spec suggests.

What inputs does the NAD C 316BEE V2 have?

The amplifier features five rear-panel RCA line-level inputs, one MM phono input, and a front-panel 3.5mm media input for smartphones or tablets. A front-panel headphone output is also included for private listening.

Is the NAD C 316BEE V2 good for vinyl listening?

Yes — the C 316BEE V2 is an excellent choice for vinyl. The onboard MM phono stage features low noise, high overload margins, accurate RIAA equalisation, and an infrasonic filter, ensuring your records are reproduced with warmth, detail, and tonal balance straight out of the box.

Good purchase
Style: 3 Pound, Pair
These are just the right weight for me to start gaining muscle back in my arms, after a large weight loss. They are of good quality, they are covered in a nice rubber like coating that is soft to the touch. They are small enough that i can take them with me when I travel. My dog has got hold of them a couple times and played with them, and they held up just fine without any damage.

Solid, grippy, and they don’t roll away!
Style: 10 Pound, Pair
I bought these because I’m finally trying to build a consistent home workout routine and didn't want to drop a fortune on name-brand weights. I’ve been using this 10lb pair for about a month now for everything from overhead presses to lunges, and honestly, they’re exactly what I was looking for. The Pros: • That Neoprene Grip: The coating is fantastic. Even when my hands get pretty sweaty halfway through a workout, I don’t feel like I’m going to drop them. It’s a much "softer" feel than cold metal or hard plastic. • The Hex Shape: This is a small detail that makes a huge difference. Since the ends are hexagonal, they don't roll across the floor when I set them down between sets. They also stay put if I’m using them for "renegade rows" or floor work. • Compact Size: They aren’t bulky. I can easily shove them under my bed or in the corner of the closet when I’m done. • No Weird Odor: I was worried they might smell like a tire factory (which happens with some rubber-coated weights), but these had almost no scent right out of the box. The Cons: • Handle Diameter: The handles are a little on the thicker side. I have medium-sized hands and it’s fine, but if you have very small hands, they might feel a bit chunky to wrap your fingers all the way around. • Color Scuffs: The navy blue looks great, but if you clank them together or drop them on concrete, the coating can scuff or show dust pretty easily. The Verdict: If you just need a reliable set of weights for HIIT, Pilates, or general strength training, these are a no-brainer. You're basically getting gym-quality equipment for a fraction of the price. I’ll probably be back for the 15lb set in a few months!

Simple, Comfortable, and Exactly What You Expect
Style: Rack with 3 Pairs (5, 10, and 15 Pound)
These are pretty much exactly what you want from a set of dumbbells — simple, functional, and no nonsense. The neoprene coating gives them a comfortable grip and keeps them from feeling slick in your hands, especially during longer workouts or if your hands get sweaty. The coating also helps keep them from banging up floors or making as much noise compared to bare metal weights, which is nice if you’re working out at home. Weight accuracy seems fine for general fitness use, and they’ve worked great for things like accessory movements, shoulder work, lighter presses, rehab-style exercises, and general muscle toning. The shape also helps keep them from rolling around everywhere when set down. They’re not fancy, and they’re not trying to be — they’re just dependable dumbbells that do what they’re supposed to do at a fair price. If you want straightforward hand weights for home workouts without overthinking it, these are a solid buy.

Reliable, Comfortable Dumbbells I Actually Use Every Day
Style: 12 Pound, Pair, Style: 12 Pound, Pair
I’ve been using the Amazon Basics Neoprene Dumbbell Hand Weights daily, and they’ve honestly been perfect for my routine. Whether I’m doing a quick morning workout or adding resistance to a longer session, these have held up really well. The neoprene coating makes a big difference—it provides a comfortable, non-slip grip, even during longer workouts or when my hands get a little sweaty. They’re also easy to clean and don’t have that strong rubber smell some weights can have. I really appreciate the hex shape too. They stay put when I set them down (no rolling across the floor), which makes switching between exercises quick and frustration-free. The weight feels evenly distributed and well-balanced, so movements feel controlled and smooth. Overall, these are simple, no-frills dumbbells that just work. If you’re looking for reliable hand weights for everyday use—whether you’re a beginner or just need something dependable for home workouts—these are a great choice.
