The 2400 has the same features and useful flexibility as the 2100 but produces significantly higher levels of real speaker-driving power. With continuous test tones its output is conservatively rated at IOU watts per channel, while its Power Envelope circuitry produces 370 to 440 watts channel of tone-burst power for music.

The high-current output stage of the 2400 delivers peak currents up to 40 amperes for precise control of voice-coil motion with speaker impedances as low as 2 ohms. In bridged mono operation the 2400 produces over 2OO watts of steady-state power and over 800 watts of dynamic tone-burst power. To enable the user to make the fullest use of the available power, a warning light illuminates if the amplifier is over-driven into distortion or exhibits any deviation from linearity. A high-precision circuit continually compares the input and output signals and flashes the LED if a potentially audible difference is detected.

Each stage of the amplifier (input, driver, and output) is individually decoupled from the power supply to prevent the dynamic supply-modulation distortion that causes some amplifiers to sound “veiled” and muddy.

2400 specifications

The NAD 2400 is a highly regarded amplifier that has garnered a reputation for delivering superb audio performance with a user-friendly design. This model is a significant part of NAD's rich history of producing high-fidelity equipment that prioritizes sound quality and technological innovation.

One of the most notable features of the NAD 2400 is its power output capabilities. With its robust architecture, the amplifier is capable of delivering a continuous output of 120 watts per channel into 8 ohms, which increases to 240 watts per channel when connected to a 4-ohm load. This power enables the NAD 2400 to drive a range of speakers effectively, making it versatile for both small and larger audio setups.

In terms of technology, the NAD 2400 utilizes High-Current Amplification, a proprietary design that allows it to maintain excellent performance even with challenging speaker loads. This feature ensures that the sound remains dynamic and punchy, without distortion, even at higher volumes. Additionally, the amplifier employs a true dual power supply, which enhances its performance by providing consistent power to the amplifier stages, thereby improving transient response and overall clarity.

Another important characteristic of the NAD 2400 is its sophisticated protection circuitry. This feature safeguards the amplifier and connected speakers from potential damage due to overheating, short circuits, or overloading. The protection system is designed not only to protect the equipment but also to ensure that the sound quality is not compromised during operation.

The NAD 2400 also features a user-friendly interface, with clearly labeled inputs and outputs that make it easy to connect a variety of audio sources. The design prioritizes both aesthetic appeal and functionality, fitting seamlessly into different audio setups and home environments.

Overall, the NAD 2400 stands out as an amplifier that beautifully merges high power output with advanced technological features, making it a favored choice for audiophiles and casual listeners alike. With its solid build quality and impressive sound performance, it represents an excellent investment for anyone looking to elevate their audio experience.
