The NAD M23 uses the advanced Eigentakt™ Class-D amplifier modules, manufactured by NAD under license from Denmark's renowned Purifi Audio. This advanced NAD amplifier design offers a wide, flat frequency response, even at challenging speaker loads, and provides virtually immeasurable noise, harmonic distortion and intermodulation distortion at all frequencies and output levels. With extremely low output impedance and high damping factor, Eigentakt™ technology provides unparalleled speaker control. Combined with NAD's own advanced switched-mode power supply, which can provide additional power reserves when needed, the M23 delivers stunningly powerful and transparent sound. Peak power output is 2x260W into 8 ohms and 2x520W into 4 ohms, making it a powerhouse capable of accurately reproducing even the most demanding music.
Compromising Performance
The M23 NAD Power Amplifier is designed to provide extremely low distortion, ultra-high damping factor and rock-solid stability regardless of speaker load. While many amplifiers perform well in one or two of these areas, the M23 excels in all three, thanks to Purifi's high-efficiency Eigentakt™ design and NAD's proven switching power supplies. This results in transparent, detailed sound with an expansive soundstage and holographic imaging, regardless of listening level or type of program material. Even during complex musical passages, the sound reproduction remains accurate and dynamic, providing an immersive listening experience.
Flexible and Powerful
The M23 is equipped with both single-ended RCA and balanced XLR auto-sensing inputs, a three-position gain-control switch and a 12V trigger input, ensuring easy integration into high-performance systems. When two M23 amplifiers are operating in bridged mode, they can be paired together to deliver 700W of continuous power into 8 ohms each. The M23 can also be combined with the award-winning NAD Masters M33 BluOS Streaming amplifier. This combination delivers a stunningly powerful 700Wpc continuous output in bridged mode, providing unparalleled sound reproduction and control.
Elegant and Practical
The NAD M23 is not only powerful and flexible, but also an aesthetic masterpiece. With an elegant all-metal enclosure, rigid panels and magnetic iso-point feet, the M23 provides a rock-solid foundation for its multilayer circuit boards and intricate internal construction. The premium build quality and sleek design make the M23 pleasing to the eye and a delight to the ear. This unit truly represents a new pinnacle in power amplifier design.
