Masters Bundle

Masters customers can now enter the multiroom world of Bluesound directly. For every combination of the Masters M12 preamplifier with BluOS module and the Masters M22 power amplifier, you will receive a free Bluesound Pulse Mini worth 599 euros.

The Masters series was designed by NAD to demonstrate what is possible in high-end audio technology today. The M12 is much more than just a stereo preamplifier with a D / A converter. It is an audio hub for the authentic reproduction of digital sources and achieves outstanding sound quality and performance with extensive flexibility in use. The M12 establishes a new level of precision for enjoying digital music.

The basis of the extremely clear sound is the 'DirectDigital' process developed by NAD. The class A buffer allows signal processing in real time - with 24 bit accuracy from the first to the last bit. The asynchronous USB interface processes audio files with up to 24 bit / 192 kHz. All functions take place entirely in the digital sphere - thus all distortions that can arise with analog circuits are eliminated. The M12 even processes 24-bit files completely loss-free across the entire volume range, so that their outstanding sound quality is fully retained.

The standard equipment of the M12 includes an extraordinary variety of digital and analog inputs. In addition to digital inputs in AES / EBU, S / PDIF (optical and coaxial) and asynchronous USB with 24 bit / 192 kHz, analog sources can be connected symmetrically via XLR or asymmetrically via cinch. A high-performance phono preamplifier enables the connection of a turntable with MM or MC system. The pure Class A buffer uses new super operational amplifiers to output the output signal either symmetrically via XLR or asymmetrically via cinch for power amplifiers and active speakers. High and low pass filters with freely selectable crossover frequencies are available for connecting up to two subwoofers.

All functions can be controlled via the high-quality and programmable remote control HTRM 2. With the help of the large touchscreen display, the M12 can easily be individually configured and adapted to the speaker setup. It can also be easily integrated into existing house control systems.

Thanks to the innovative 'Modular Design Construction' (MDC), the M12 is always up-to-date, both now and in the future: essential components of the preamplifier can be exchanged and updated. If necessary, the MDC-BluOS network module, for example, transforms the M12 into a high-end streaming client. It (he) has (then) an Ethernet connection, an integrated WLAN function and a Bluetooth aptX interface. And the DD-HDM-1 module expands the M12 by three HDMI inputs and one HDMI output (3D video 'pass-through').
