The Hidden Home view: Naim CI-NAP 101
The CI-NAP 101 is the mono power amplifier in Naim’s CI Series. It delivers 500 watts into 8 ohms and 800 watts into 4 ohms from a case only 4.45 cm tall, and Naim describes it as ultra-quiet.
Naim made it for subwoofers and for installed speakers that need a lot of power. It can also drive 70V or 100V speaker lines with a selectable high-pass filter, and it works with an AV processor in a home cinema. Its stereo inputs are summed to mono, RCA outputs let further amplifiers be linked in series, and it switches itself off after 20 minutes without a signal.
So it suits a cinema that needs a powerful amplifier for its subwoofers, or a distributed system where one channel must do a lot of work. It sits alongside the eight-channel CI-NAP 108 in the same rack. We plan the amplification as part of the system design, so call us to talk it through.
