The NAD 302 is a highly regarded stereo integrated amplifier that combines NAD’s straightforward design philosophy with impressive real-world performance. Rated at 25 watts per channel into 8 ohms, the NAD 302 is conservatively specified while offering strong dynamic performance when required.
It features a built-in moving-magnet phono stage, making it an excellent choice for vinyl enthusiasts, alongside dedicated inputs for CD, tuner, video and tape sources. A Tone Defeat function allows the tone-control circuitry to be bypassed for a more direct signal path.
The amplifier also includes separate preamplifier and power-amplifier sections, pre-out and main-in connections, a headphone output and robust speaker connections. Its combination of versatility, simplicity and strong musical performance makes the NAD 302 an excellent choice for a classic two-channel stereo system.
