NAD M32 User Manual

M32 DirectDigital™ Amplifier

An elegant, top-of-the-line, BluOS™- capable integrated amplifi er with a host of features
that offer maximum fl exibility, excellent effi ciency, and reduced noise and distortion. Also
includes a phono input and a headphone output to accommodate music lovers of all kinds.

MODULAR AND CUSTOMISABLE

q

Using a proprietary modular design, you can upgrade or expand your M32 as technologies
emerge, ensuring a cost-effective way to keep the music “on” into the future.

YOUR MUSIC ANYWHERE

q

With the optional MDC BluOS module, you can centralise your digital music libraries
and streaming services, and control playback from your smartphone or tablet. Network
any BluOS-enabled product together through your home Wi-Fi connection to create
multi-room music experiences.

ADVANCED AMPLIFICATION TECHNOLOGY

q

Advanced software-controlled algorithms result in the shortest signal path from source
to speaker to produce virtually no distortion and a damping factor of over 1,000. This
technology is among the fastest and most accurate amplifi cation and error correction available.
