The C425 FM/AM tuner incorporates the convenience of RDS, plus infrared and RS-232 control
ports for easy integration with sophisticated custom-installation system controllers. The C445 tuner
combines the convenience of DAB, FM and AM in one component. Via the best broadcasters, DAB
can rival CD sound quality, so NAD deploys to the C445 the very same audiophile-grade D/A convert-
ers and op-amp components it uses in its award-winning CD players. Yet because we recognize that
analogue radio remains a vital source of music and information, the C445’s FM section is carefully
engineered to extract the best possible quality even under difcult reception conditions—both weak,
“fringe” environments and crowded urban locations. (C445 is not available in North America.)
NAD’s critically acclaimed, award-winning CD players set a new performance/value benchmark.
The C525BEE (the initials acknowledge our lead designer Bjorn Erik Edvardsen) combines the most
sophisticated available digital-to-analogue devices with costly, high-end analogue components such
as ultra-linear “op-amps,” metal-lm resistors, and polypropylene capacitors, to ensure superbly
accurate signal reconstruction and response. For its part, the C542 offers the system-integration
exibility of both IR and 12V-trigger inputs. In either case, while you could spend far, far more for
a high-performance CD player you’d have a very difcult time nding a more musically complete,
transparent-sounding player anywhere near their prices.
Performance, exibility, and reliability make these pre- and power ampliers ideal for more demanding
music, home theatre or professional studio applications. The C162 preamplier features six line inputs
with MM/MC switchable phono input for the most sophisticated vinyl buff. Following NAD’s “Music First”
design brief, the preamp’s completely new and innovative design invests in the nest audiophile-grade,
close-tolerance components at numerous critical circuit locations. The 2 x 150-watt C272 power amp in-
corporates NAD’s unique PowerDrive™ technology for high dynamic power with even the most difcult-
to-drive loudspeakers—and for still greater exibility the C272 is bridgeable to 300 watts mono.
