Our Product Research Team
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.
That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box,
verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.
We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features
Soft Clipping: NAD's Soft Clipping circuit gently limits
the output of the C 375BEE to minimize audible distortion when the amplifier
is over-driven. While Soft Clipping can be left on at all times to reduce the
likelihood of audible distortion from excessive volume settings, you can also
turn the circuit off for critical listening if you prefer.
Bridgeable: The C 375BEE can be bridged to a single channel,
more than doubling the power output. When bridged, the minimum recommended
speaker impedance is 8Ω.
Tape Monitor: If you own a 3-head tape deck, the tape monitor
loop allows you to monitor recording quality as the recording is made.
Phono Input: From the factory the C 375BEE has no phono input,
but the optional PP 375 Phono Module (item number 745PP375) can be installed,
creating an input that will accept moving magnet or moving coil cartridges.
Front Input: A 3.5mm mini-jack input on the front panel is
labeled MP (Media Player); there is also an RCA MP input on to rear panel which
is automatically disconnected when the front panel input is used.
Pre-out/Main-in Loop: Factory jumpers connect the main
amplifier input to the Pre Out 1 preamp outputs. This offers the flexibility
of inserting an equalizer, surround processor (when using multiple amps), or
another type of processor between the two stages.
Dual Preamp Outputs: The second set of preamps are convenient
for bi-amping speakers or adding a powered subwoofer.
Remote Control: The SR 8 wireless remote will control the
C 375BEE and NAD CD players and Tuners.
Controls

Connections
Rear Panel:
- Speakers: the speaker binding posts
will accept single banana plugs, pin connectors, spade
lugs up to 0.625" wide, and bare wire up to 10 gauge;
there are four speaker outputs, A (left and right) and B
(left and right)
- Inputs: stereo RCA input jacks for
MP (Media Player), CD, Tuner, Disc, Aux, Tape 2, and Tape
Monitor
- Record Outputs: stereo RCA output
jacks for Tape 2 and Tape Monitor
- Pre Out 1: stereo RCA preamp outputs
- Main In: stereo RCA preamp inputs;
jumpers to the Pre Out 1 outputs are factory installed
- Pre Out 2: stereo RCA outputs for
feeding a powered subwoofer or another amplifier; jumpers to the main
amplifier inputs are factory installed - a rotary
dial beside the outputs adjusts the volume relative to the
Pre Out 1 jacks
- IR In: 3.5mm mini-jack input, used
to control this unit using an optional infrared repeater
or the IR output of another component
