1000 Stereo Preamplifier
Date of manufacture : Jul 90 - Dec 92
Please note that this document contains the text from the original product brochure, and some technical statements may now be out of date
Behind its elegant and uncluttered front panel, the circuitry in the NAD 1000 provides performance
equal to pre-amplifiers costing up to twice the price, The 1000 incorporates inputs for CD, tuner tape
and video, plus separate phono pre-amp circuitry, using discrete transistors in an optimised circuit. The
‘Tone Defeat’ button provides a ‘straight through’ signal path, by-passing the tone control circuits.
NAD’s resourceful engineering has resulted in a high performance control unit for use with single or
multiple power amplifiers (bi-amping) and active loudspeakers at a remarkably low cost.
