NAD M23 HYBRID DIGITAL STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER RELEASED

The new NAD Masters Series power amplifier features Purifi Eigentakt amplifier technology.

NAD Electronics has launched the NAD M23 Hybrid Digital stereo power amplifier.

NAD M23 HYBRID DIGITAL STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER

The NAD M23 builds on the Purifi Eigentakt amplification technology first introduced in the M33 BluOS Streaming Amplifier, which we reviewed last year. NAD says that Eigentakt nearly eliminates harmonic and intermodulation distortion and noise while its load-invariant frequency response can drive even the most demanding of loudspeakers.

EIGENTAKT AMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY

The Masters M23 Hybrid Digital stereo power amplifier features Eigentakt amplifier technology, manufactured by NAD under license from Purifi. In common with the previous generations of NAD Hybrid Digital technology but unlike many Class D amplifier designs, the M23 offers a minimum of 200W per channel with reserves of dynamic power at lower impedances. It is capable of beyond 260W dynamic power per channel even into 8 ohms, and beyond 520W into 4 ohms.

NAD says that the NAD M23 in bridge mode can expand the power of an M33 BluOS Streaming Amplifier to create a 2 x 700W system or is an easy upgrade to power a separates system.    The NAD M23 features proven switch mode power supplies and Class D output stages that NAD says are very linear over a wide bandwidth and provide consistent performance into all speaker loads.

NAD M23 HYBRID DIGITAL STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER CASEWORK

The NAD M23 features all-alloy casework that is elegant yet practical. Rigid panels with magnetic iso-point feet provide a foundation for the multi-layer circuit boards and internal construction.
