106 Stereo Preamplifier
Date of manufacture : Dec 92 - Dec 96
Please note that this document contains the text from the original product brochure, and some technical statements may now be out of date
Built upon the successful design of the NAD 1000, the NAD 106 offers 2 dramatic step up in sound quality.
Metal film resistors, a larger mains transformer, improved capacitors and volume control, together with a redesigned
PCB and phone pre-amp circuit all contribute to noise and distortion-free performance.
Gold plated RCA inputs improve signal transfer and XLR connectors ensure optimum linkage to the power amplifier
stage. Six audio/video inputs and three outputs permit a wide range of system set-ups in domestic and studio
environments.
