The number of internet-connected devices per household in Australia is forecast to reach 33.8 this year as Australians increasingly invest in connected home and audio solutions, and demand is surging for compact, powerful, and flexible installation products.[1] NAD Electronics has launched its groundbreaking Modular Series to address this growing market, offering high-performance audio solutions tailored specifically to the needs of Australian residential and commercial integrators, and available to Australian customers from July 2025.
The NAD Electronics Modular Series consists of three advanced products combining exceptional audio performance, seamless integration, and user-friendly design within a compact 1/3U width x 1U height form factor:
- NAD Custom Install (CI) S1 Single Zone Streamer (RRP: AU$1,299): a versatile streaming solution for flawless music playback.
- NAD CI SA 2-120 BluOS Streaming Amplifier (RRP: AU$2,099): a powerful amplifier with integrated BluOS for high-resolution multi-room streaming.
- NAD CI PA 4-60 4 Channel Power Amplifier (RRP: AU$1,299): a robust amplifier engineered for superior efficiency and scalability.
These products reflect NAD Electronics’ commitment to innovation and providing high-quality audio solutions to the Australian market. The Modular Series integrates cutting-edge technology with NAD Electronics’ minimalist design philosophy, facilitating seamless installations for both new builds and retrofits to meet the evolving requirements of custom installers.
Peter Gibb, CI product manager, NAD Electronics, said, “The Modular Series represents a new direction in ultra-compact, scalable solutions designed specifically for custom installers. Rack efficiency and flexibility are combined with the advanced features and premium audio quality that integrators expect from NAD Electronics. This series equips Australian integrators to meet the diverse demands of modern audio projects effectively.”
The NAD CI Modular Series is integrated within the BluOS ecosystem, providing a seamless interface for high-resolution music streaming and multi-zone audio management.

NAD Electronics has also introduced a significant update to its acclaimed CI digital signal processing (DSP) amplifier range, featuring an improved user interface that complements the Modular Series. The NAD CI 8-150 DSP, CI 8-120 DSP, and CI 16-60 DSP amplifiers now include an intuitive dashboard displaying live status for easier remote monitoring. Enhanced features include simplified channel grouping, zone-specific sleep functions, global input flexibility, and improved DSP capabilities with integrated limiters, delays, and phase controls for seamless subwoofer integration.
Additional improvements to the DSP amplifier series include an updated layout, optimised power management, password protection, faster boot-up time, and enhanced third-party application programming interface (API) integration for more robust remote management.
