Naim Classic NAIT 50 LIMITED EDITION

NAIT 50 AN ICONIC, LIMITED-EDITION AMPLIFIER   OVERVIEW To celebrate our 50th anniversary (1973 - 2023) and all these years of shared passion for sound, we pay homage to our iconic integrated amplifier: NAIT 1. Made in England, NAIT 50 is presented in a limited-edition of 1973 pieces. The History of the NAIT       Back to the future NAIT 50 is the worthy successor of NAIT 1, Naim’s integrated amplifier released in 1983. Every part of the NAIT 50 has been redesigned. It is a ‘big box’ audiophile Naim integrated in a small box. Some of the new features on this anniversary edition include the new discrete transistor headphone amplifier found in the New Classic series, so you can enjoy all types of listening. Behind its sleek design, NAIT 50 also delivers top-notch sound quality.     The ultimate listening experience 25W of power per channel with peaks of 225W, three analogue inputs, including a discrete transistor MM phono stage: NAIT 50 combines power, performance, and versatility. It reproduces the most exacting dynamics with all the confidence and authority we have come to expect from a Naim amplifier. It can be linked with all loudspeaker types, as well as a streamer, for the ultimate hi-fi system.      Assertive Naim products are designed to be both contemporary and timeless. Our creations forgo any unnecessary adornments that detract from performance and sound quality. Handcrafted in the Naim workshops, NAIT 50 benefits from uncompromising design quality and presents a meticulous aesthetic. The front panel combines tradition and modernity, with a nod to the design codes of NAIT 1.         REVIEW & AWARDS Naim NAIT 50 Integrated Amplifier | REVIEW - Read More  "But here’s the catch, and it’s the number 1,973. Reviewers take a risk when they recommend something that may be sold out once the review goes live, and I hope that number is large enough to sustain the model’s availability for a reasonable time. At the same time, you probably need to check the Naim NAIT 50 integrated out for yourself–especially if, like me, you have an obsession over the earlier NAITs. The Naim NAIT 50 turned out fantastic, and everything seems to feel right in the audiophile universe as a result." - Marc Phillips   Naim launches special anniversary edition Nait 50 amp – but you’ll have to move fast to get one - Read More  "On paper, this makes it a compelling choice for any buyer looking for a purist integrated amp to join their rack that won’t take up too much space." - Alastair Stevenson    SPECIFICATIONS  Product Type Integrated amplifier Damping factor into 8 36 Input signal for clipping Line: 88mV Phono: 710mV Peak current into 1 (1kHz 1mS) Peak +/- 15 (peak power at 225W) Audio Inputs 1 x RCA pair (47kΩ), in MM phono level 5mV 2 x 5-pin DIN (stereo, 47kΩ), line leve Audio Inputs MM Phono Input 47kΩ and 100pF Audio Outputs Crosstalk Line: 85dB, (at 1kHz, 25Watts 8Ω) Phono: 80dB THD + N 0.015% Headphone Output 1.5Watts 16Ω Signal-to-Noise Ratio Ref. 1Watt 8Ω, A-weighted : Line: 80dB, 1V input / Phono: 78dB, 5mV input Ref. 25Watt 8Ω, A-weighted: Line: 93dB, 1V input / Phono: 84dB, 5mV input Power Output 25Watts 8Ω @0,1% THD+N 40Watts 4Ω @0,1% THD+N 60Watts 2Ω @1% THD+N Frequency Response Line: -3dB @ 4Hz to 45kHz Phono: -3dB @ 6Hz to 30kHz Gain Phono: +40dB (@1kHz RIAA) Pre-amplication (and headphone): +16dB Power Amplifier: +29dB Physical Weight 9.9lbs (4.5kg) Dimensions (HxWxD) 33/8 x 81/8 x 125/8" (8.7x20.7x32.1cm) Power Mains Supply 115V or 230V, 50/60Hz Power Consumption Typical use consumption: 20W Stand-by mode consumption: <0.5W
