Naim NAP 500 DR Power Amplifier - White LED Light

The NAP 500 DR is Naim’s flagship reference-class power amplifier, meticulously crafted over six years. Built in Salisbury by skilled technicians, it features a robust two-box architecture: a power amp module and a separate 500 PS power supply. This design isolates the transformer and raw DC supplies to eliminate electromagnetic interference and enhance audio purity. 

Music-Grasping Power & Precision

Delivers 140 W per channel into 8 Ω and sustains performance down to 2 Ω loads. The bridged circuit topology ensures ultra-fast open and closed-loop response, while ten stages of local voltage regulation per channel maintain precision, timing, and dynamics even under demanding loads. 

Statement‑Derived Technology

Incorporates the new NA009 output transistors first seen in Naim’s Statement series, engineered in collaboration with specialist semiconductor partners. Paired with the high-current DR (Discrete Regulator) supply technology, the amp offers cleaner, more stable power delivery and lower noise—resulting in greater rhythmic drive and musical coherence. 

Robust Transformer and Regulation

Powered by a 1,100 VA toroidal transformer in the 500 PS box, the system generates twelve raw DC rails. Combined with ten regulation stages per channel, this ensures ultra-low supply impedance and delivers superior headroom and transient control.
