NAD is an uncommon company with a proven
commitment to audio excellence. The appearance
of NAD components is as shaightfonrvard as the
no-nonsense "Music First" design philosophy that
has guided this visionary company for the past
quarter century

We can tell you all the technical reasons NAD
components sound so good ifyou really want to
know, but the bottom line is that NAD simply sounds
better. 0n the inside, where it counts, NAD has
engineered its products using the most sophisticated
and powerful technology available today. On the
outside, NAD has designed a control panel that's
intuitive and easy to use. It has never been NAD's
policy to impress with baffling tech-specs that look
good onlyto those who pretend to understand them
but mean nothing to you in everyday usage. NAD
engineers realised many years ago that fiashy and
impressive figures can tell a misleading story; far too
often there is a large discrepancy between imposing
specifications in a glossy brochure and what actually
happens when you listen to music orwatch a movie
at home.

Don't get the wrong idea - NAD products measure
up alongside any of the compet'tors. But one thing
is paramount to NAD. Its the sound that counts!

By studying actual listening in realistic environments,
all NAD products achieve a level of performance far
beyond that which the specifications suggest. But
thats not all. Performance is one thing, ease of use
is another. NAD has always maintained that a
product should be simple to operate. You will find
many products from other brands laden with knobs,
buttons and lights, most ofwhich are seldom, if ever,
used but which do cost moneyto include. Leaving
out those unnecessary features and concenhahng
only on those that are truly useful allows the money
to be spent where 't really counts - on the inside
rather than on the outside.

This uncommonly rational approach to audio design
and dedication to simplicity and value has brought
critical acclaim from audio reviewers and an
impressive following from knowledgeable music
lovers and Home Theatre enthusiasts worldwide.

Take your time, absorb what you read, then go
and listen for yourselfand find out just why NAD
is so different.

NAD's tradition of creating products with giant
killer performance has been well established over
the last quarter century. And this reputation has
been earned by applying creative engineering
solutions and meticulous fine-tuning to every
circuit in every NAD product. Designed by music
lovers, for music lovers, NAD components consis-
tently deliver exceptional performance that brings
you closer to the music. It is our strong belief, that
when a product doesnt deliver an emotionally
involving and musically accurate performance, then

it has missed the primary point of its vew existence!

v a l u e

We define value as getting more for less. In the
case of NAD, that's more performance, and less
money spent. Careful design and execution.
and staying focused on what's really important
allows NAD to consistently offer products that
overachieve in this regard. The ability to get
performance that is vew close to the cost-no-
object crowd, at an even/day affordable price,

is a key element in the NAD philosophy.

s i m p l i c i t y

What makes NAD so unique in the world? It isn't
just an insistence on great sound qual'ty, it is also
our sensible approach to product design and
manufacturing. By keeping our designs simple,
and by avoiding the trendy gimmicks favoured

by many ofour competitors, we can offer producls
that perform better. cost less, and last longer

This refreshing approach can be summed up

in one word: simplicity.

If music is important in your life, the exceptional per-
formance and simple intu'nive operation of these
receivers may be just what you are looking for. NAD
receivers have always stood out from the rest, as the
engineers never compromise the quality of a receiver
compared to that of separate components.

A closer look at what makes NAD special

NAD's new and exclusive Impedance Sensing
Circuitry (ISC) allows the C 730 and C 740
receivers to deliver maximum performance under
virtually any circumstance, independent of the
loudspeakers driven. The circuitry automatically
recognises the impedance characteristics of the
loudspeaker and then adjusts its power supply set-
tings to best cope with that specific load. As usual,
NAD uses discrete output stages only on these
receivers to maximise sonic performance. Vast
reserves of dynamic power are available to repro-
duce the dynamic peaks that give music its drama
and impact.

With NAD

the amplifier

is never pushed
into clipping.

NAD's unique switchable Solt Clipping circuit is
activated when a receiver runs into overload. In other
brands this situation would result in audible distortion
and potential loudspeaker damage overtime. The
Soit Clipping circut, on the other hand, assures clear
musical reproduction virtually free from distortion
while protecting your loudspeakers.

Forsystem expansion or upgrading there is a pre-ampli-
fier output allowing the addtion of an optional power
amp, so your receiver need never become obsolete.

The tuner sections on these receivers offer high per-
fonhance, noise-free reception forwhich NAD timers
have long been acclaimed. Users will appreciate the
ease of tuning in your favourite stations, even those
with low signal strength or on the often over-crowded
FM band. Unlike most. the tone controls on these
products only work at the frequency extremes leaving
the critical mid-band essentially unaltered. NAD engi
neers designed these tone controls to be really useful
tools to make improvements in overall sound quality.

wrm theirfull remote control handsets these
receivers allow the operation of the majority of func-
tions from the comfort ofyour listening postion. NAD
Link allows many other NAD products such as CD
players and cassette decks to be operated via the
receivers system remote controller.

The NAD C 740 offers a winning combination of excellentAM/FM reception, clean and high-impact power, and all
the flexibil'ty needed to bring music convincingly alive. We expect 'tto become one of the most valued products in

audio. NADs reputation for high value/high performance makes the C 740 a true delight for music lovers.

Combining the advanced technology and musical performance of the C 740, in a package of more modest size
and price, the C 730 is the ideal choice for smaller rooms. Tremendous dynamic power capability combined with
delicacy and nuance assure a musically involving performance. Full remote control, RDS tunerwth 30 direct access
station presets, and a full complement of inputs make this receiver an exceptional value.
