NAD Masters Series

NAD introduced a complete new line of components called The Masters Series, which set new benchmarks in performance, ease-of-use, and design. The first four components to be released in the Masters Series are the M15 Surround Sound Processor, the M25 Seven-Channel Power Amplifier, the M3 Dual Mono Integrated Amplifier and the M55 Universal DVD Player. By combining a variety of materials and subtle textures, the new industrial design is solid and substantial, yet fresh and exciting.

Separate components are the audiophile's preference. For over 30 years NAD has embraced that philosophy with a design formula of Performance, Simplicity and Value. Conceived as complete systems, there is a new synergy of performance and luxury with the sleek components in the Masters Series. From the smooth and precise action of the front panel controls to the elegantly proportioned remote handsets, every element of the design has been carefully considered for ease of use and clear logical operation.

With 2mm thick steel panels, combined with extruded aluminum and die cast zinc parts, the chassis forms an incredibly solid foundation to reduce air and structure born vibration from reaching any sensitive electronic components residing within. Glass epoxy circuit boards with thick OFC copper traces and extensive ground planes assure uniformly low impedance operating conditions for all circuits. Very high current circuits make liberal use of copper buss bars to assure maximum performance. Selected discreet devices from the world's top electronic component manufacturers are used in the high power stages while SMD (surface mount devices) and LSI's (large scale integrated circuits) are used on multi-layer PCBs to achieve state-of-the-art performance in low level and digital stages.

All models start shipping in November 2005, the Masters Series Components will sell for the following US MSRPs:

• M15 Surround Preamplifier Processor - $2999
• M25 Seven-Channel Amplifier - $2999
