Description

CI SA2-120

BLUOS STREAMING AMPLIFIER MODULE

The NAD CI SA2-120 BluOS Streaming Amplifier is designed to deliver high-quality amplification and networked music streaming in a single, compact solution for custom installation systems. Combining 240 watts of NAD DirectDigital™ amplification with dual stereo outputs and the BluOS multi-room platform, it can be used in single- or dual-zone configurations. Purpose-built for professional environments, the CI SA2-120 simplifies system design while maintaining the sound quality, reliability, and control expected from NAD. Now Dirac Live® Ready, it also supports advanced room correction with an optional licence and calibration microphone, enabling system optimisation for virtually any listening environment. It is an ideal solution for distributed audio, retrofit projects, and zones where space and efficiency are critical.

AMPLIFICATION AND STREAMING IN ONE PLATFORM

The CI SA2-120 combines power and streaming into a single component, eliminating the need for separate streamers and amplifiers at the zone level. With a total of 240 watts of continuous power available into 8 ohms, it can confidently drive architectural and standalone speakers while delivering consistent performance. This integrated approach reduces rack space, simplifies wiring, and shortens installation time, making it an efficient solution for both new builds and retrofit projects. Dirac Live® Ready support further enhances system performance by enabling advanced room correction with an optional licence and calibration microphone. By correcting both frequency response and timing, Dirac Live adapts each zone to its listening environment, delivering clearer, more balanced sound with improved imaging and spatial detail.

BLUOS MULTI-ROOM STREAMING

Built on the BluOS platform, the CI SA2-120 provides access to high-resolution music streaming, internet radio, and local music libraries. BluOS allows zones to operate independently or as part of a larger multi-room system, all controlled through the BluOS Controller App or integrated with automation platforms. Designed for reliability and responsiveness, BluOS ensures a consistent user experience.

DIRECTDIGITAL™ POWER WITH CI EFFICIENCY

NAD’s DirectDigital™ amplification technology delivers clean, controlled power while maintaining high efficiency and low heat output. This design supports continuous operation and stable performance, even in space-constrained installations. By balancing power and efficiency, the CI SA2-120 delivers dependable sound quality across a wide range of listening levels without the thermal challenges of traditional amplification designs.

BUILT FOR FLEXIBILITY

The CI SA2-120 integrates easily into equipment racks and can also be discreetly hidden in cabinets or behind a television. Connectivity includes Ethernet or Wi-Fi for networking and BluOS control, as well as support for third-party control systems, HDMI eARC, and Bluetooth for local digital audio sources. Whether configured as a powerful single-zone stereo system in a media room or driving two independent BluOS zones as part of a larger distributed audio system, the CI SA2-120 provides installers with a streamlined, reliable solution. With support for Dirac Live Room Correction through an optional licence and calibration microphone, integrators can further optimise system performance for the unique acoustic characteristics of each listening space.

Why Choose NAD

NAD is one of the most respected and enduring names in modern Hi-Fi, known for combining intelligent engineering, real-world usability, and strong musical performance without unnecessary complication or excess. Since the 1970s, the brand has built a loyal worldwide following through products that consistently prioritise sound quality, practicality, and long-term value over marketing spectacle.

What makes NAD particularly successful is the company’s ability to blend modern streaming technology, amplifier innovation, and system flexibility into products that remain approachable and highly enjoyable to live with. From compact streaming amplifiers through to reference-level Masters Series components, NAD products are designed to deliver genuine high-fidelity performance while integrating seamlessly into contemporary listening environments.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, NAD appeals strongly to customers seeking modern Hi-Fi systems that combine musical engagement, streaming convenience, and long-term upgrade flexibility without becoming overly complex or intimidating.

Signature Design and Sound

NAD products are engineered around a philosophy of efficiency, low-noise design, and preserving musical dynamics. Across both the Classic and Masters Series ranges, the company incorporates technologies including HybridDigital amplification, BluOS streaming integration, Dirac Live room correction, and highly refined DAC platforms designed to deliver strong performance within increasingly modern system architectures.

One of the most significant products within the current NAD range is the immensely popular C 3050 BluOS-D. Combining retro-inspired industrial design with modern streaming functionality and BluOS integration, the C 3050 has become particularly successful in Australia by offering customers an engaging and approachable entry into serious Hi-Fi. It captures much of the visual charm of classic NAD designs while incorporating contemporary streaming, HDMI connectivity, and room correction capabilities into a highly versatile integrated amplifier platform.

The M10 V3 sits beautifully between the Classic and Masters Series ranges, combining compact design, premium industrial execution, advanced streaming capability, and surprisingly serious amplifier performance within a highly elegant all-in-one system. For many customers, the M10 V3 represents one of the most complete modern Hi-Fi solutions currently available, particularly when partnered with carefully matched loudspeakers.

Within the Masters Series itself, the M66 preamplifier has emerged as one of the most important products in the range. Combining BluOS streaming, Dirac Live room correction, advanced DAC architecture, balanced analogue design, and highly sophisticated system integration capabilities, the M66 functions as a remarkably complete high-end control centre for modern reference systems.

Sonically, NAD products are generally known for their strong rhythmic drive, clean dynamics, and balanced presentation. The sound feels controlled, open, and musically engaging without becoming overly warm or excessively analytical, making NAD products highly versatile across a broad range of speakers and listening environments.

NAD Product Range

The NAD range available through HeyNow Hi-Fi includes integrated amplifiers, streaming amplifiers, DACs, preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and BluOS-enabled music systems designed across multiple performance levels and system sizes.

The Classic Series continues NAD’s long-standing focus on value, flexibility, and musical performance, while the Masters Series expands upon this philosophy through more advanced chassis construction, refined circuitry, premium DAC implementations, and increasingly sophisticated streaming and room correction technologies.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Geoff and his experienced system setup team provide assistance with BluOS integration, speaker matching, Dirac Live configuration, streaming setup, and complete system optimisation to ensure NAD products perform at their full potential within each customer’s listening environment.
