The NAD Masters M28 uses the innovative Eigentakt™ amplifier technology, manufactured by NAD under license from Purifi. This breakthrough technology, first introduced by NAD with the M33 Masters Series Streaming Amplifier, offers a new level of precision by taking into account previously unknown effects of the output filter in the feedback loop. In addition, it refines the self-oscillating Class D technology used in previous NAD Hybrid Digital designs. The result is a level of performance that approaches the theoretical limit of measured performance, whether the amplifier is playing at whisper level or full power.
Like previous generations of NAD Hybrid Digital technology, but unlike most Class D amplifier designs, the M28 NAD amplifier is insensitive to the loudspeaker loads it faces. It maintains the same wide and even bandwidth response, regardless of the speaker's impedance, while delivering high power capability. The continuous 200W into 8 ohms at all channels driven simultaneously and 700W dynamic power into 4 ohms are proof of this.
Inherent in Eigentakt™ technology is its highly analog behavior in the unlikely event that the amplifier is driven into clipping. While many Class D designs can become unstable, the Eigentakt™ behaves in a manner similar to the benign manner of clipping and instant recovery of well-executed traditional Class A/B amplifiers.
The M28's sonic character only enhances its impressive numbers. This is an amazingly powerful and transparent amplifier that brings new levels of refinement and dynamics at every level.
Fully balanced audio
.
The NAD M28 uses the same efficient audio interface used by professional studios, ensuring the highest level of signal integrity and the lowest noise floor. Locking connectors and special interface electronics allow for long cable runs without noise reduction or signal loss. All you get is great sound without the possibility of noise suppression or interference.
Effortless power
As NAD's most powerful amplifier ever, the M28 can deliver more than 700W in difficult loads to track complex dynamic peaks in your movies and music. Everything from sharp sounds to explosions sounds remarkably real and immersive.
The M28 has power reserves to meet the demands of the latest high-resolution digital soundtracks. With advanced Purifi Eigentakt™ amplifier technology, it offers monstrous power and performance at a fraction of the cost of traditional technologies.
