NAD CI SA2-120 BluOS Streaming Amplifier

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 solutionfor 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, CI SA2-120 simplifies system design while maintaining the sound quality, reliability, and control expected from NAD. 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 240 watts of continuous power available into 8ohms, 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.

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 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 racks, and can also be discretely hidden away in cabinets, or behind a TV. Connectivity includes Ethernet or Wi Fi for networking and control via BluOS or via 3rd party control system, HDMI eARC and Bluetooth for digital audio sources when used in a room. It can be used a powerful single zone stereo system in a media room or to drive two independent BluOS zones as part of a larger BluOS ecosystem, the CI SA2-120 provides installers with a streamlined, reliable solution for modern distributed audio systems.
