Formed in 1972, NAD (New Acoustic Dimension) set out to create a new kind of hi fi company that cuts through the hype and focuses on Performance, Value and Simplicity. Soon NAD electronics gained a reputation for their no-nonsense approach to designing and building gear, which has resulted in some of the most reliable and beloved audiophile products of all time.
Performance: Every NAD component at every level is designed and manufactured for realistic, detailed, convincing reproduction of the original sound with a traditional grey finish.
Value: NAD believes that good design should never be at the listener's expense. Instead they strive to offer the best value combined with the very best possible sound.
Simplicity: Forever striking for simplicity with high value components for audio excellence. NAD hi fi equipment may be minimalist in style, but beneath the simplistic exterior are all manner of high end components normally associated with more up market models. By minimising the bells and whistles, NAD is able to focus on the essentials, such as delivering an enriched listening experience and great value.
All NAD hi fi equipment comes in traditional battleship grey box units. So while there are prettier hi fi brands out there, when it comes to the quality of sound reproduction, you’ll struggle to find better value for your money. This makes NAD an excellent entry level brand in the world hi fi, delivering delightful sound as its first priority.
Built like a battleship with a traditional dark grey shell to match, NAD amplifiers house high quality components for a substantial, two fisted sound that’s likeable and listenable. The low frequencies immediately impress while their range of NAD pre amp, power amps and integrated amps are happy to adapt to pretty much any music genre you put through them. NAD amps simultaneously demonstrate punch and articulate detail while offering good value for money.
Despite their unassuming appearance, NAD CD players expertly organise every instrument and vocal in an open, airy soundstage and lively, detailed delivery. Compared to players in the same price bracket, a NAD CD player puts quality ahead of quantity without sounding lean or malnourished while other players focus on kicking out greater weight to cover up and shortcomings in sound. So if you’re looking for a CD player, NAD is the perfect budget brand to savour the detail and timing in your music.
Built by Rega, NAD turntables feature the same minimalist designs and incorporate the finest quality components to give you fantastic sound quality straight from the box with the minimum of setting up. NAD also offers a supporting range of phono amps for their affordable turntables.
Featuring NAD’s own EARS surround, Enhanced Stereo and Dolby Virtual surround modes, NAD receivers are geared toward pulling the best sonic performance from lower quality recordings or two channel source material. Meanwhile the auto setup and room calibration via its internal software and microphone makes set up quick and easy.
While many people purchase receivers for their home cinema, NAD receivers are aimed at the modern music lover with iPod and satellite radio support while being able to serve as the base of a very simple, yet easy to operate, multi-room or zone audio system.
Like all NAD hi fi equipment, a NAD receiver is simple in design for maximum performance and minimum cost, providing an excellent entry level into home cinema and multi-room hi fi centres –in traditional battleship grey of course!
While there’s no shortage of good quality hi fi tuners on the market, NAD tuners deliver a strong signal with a good outdoor aerial for exciting radio play back. If you can find a decent concert on the radio you’ll hear just how good a NAD tuner is with its well weighted bass, expressive midband and fine treble detailing.
