12 FUSE HOLDER
• Only qualied NAD service technicians can have access to this fuse
holder. Opening this fuse holder may cause damage thus voiding
the warranty of your M22.
13 GROUND TERMINAL
• Ensure M22 is plugged-in to a grounded AC wall outlet.
• If a separate earth ground is necessary, use this terminal to ground
your M22.
• M22 can be connected to ground by connecting a ground lead
wire or similar to this terminal. After insertion, tighten the terminal
to secure the lead.
The M22 uses NAD’s proprietary Digital PowerDrive™ amplier
technology that allows substantial additional power for short periods
of time. Research has shown that the peak to average power required
to faithfully reproduce music can be a factor of ten for well recorded
performances. Digital PowerDrive uniquely satises this requirement.
Music sounds more dynamic and “open” with Digital PowerDrive
because the musical transients that are present in a live performance
are not reduced in amplitude or “compressed”.
