Description

M28 Seven Channel Power Amplifier

The Masters M28 Seven Channel Power Amplifier epitomizes the
ultimate in what is possible with today’s amplification technology. It is one
of the very first amplifiers to employ Purifi’s Eigentakt™ amplifier
technology.

Rated conservatively at 200W per channel (8 ohms) and well
over 320W dynamic power (8 ohms; all channels driven), the result is
breath-taking, lifelike surround sound performance, be it from the latest
action-packed film with tremendous dynamics or a subtle classical piece with
delicate and detailed passages. The M28 can accept both balanced and
single-ended inputs, and features high-quality binding posts for speaker
connection. The compact dimensions of this highly energy-efficient design belie
the massive amount of power available for the most demanding music and movies.

Purifi Eigentakt Amplification

The Masters M28 uses Eigentakt™ amplifier technology,
manufactured by NAD in license from Purifi. This new technology, which NAD was
the first to embrace for the M33 Masters Series Streaming Amplifier, adds
another level of precision by taking into account previously unknown effects of
the output filter in the feedback loop and further refinement of the
self-oscillating Class D technology as used by previous NAD Hybrid Digital
designs. The result is a performance level that approaches the theoretical
limit in measured performance, be it at whispering levels or at full power.

In common with the previous generations of NAD Hybrid
Digital technology but unlike most class D amplifier designs, the M28 is
impervious to the loudspeaker load it is presented with, maintaining the same
wide and even bandwidth response irrespective of the speaker’s impedance and at
the same time providing high current capability. The continuous 200W into 8
ohms on tap for all channels driven at the same time and 700W dynamic power
into 4 ohms is testament to this.

Inherent to the Eigentakt™ technology is its very
analogue-like behavior in the unlikely event the amplifier is driven into
clipping. Whereas many class D designs can become unstable, Eigentakt™ behaves
in a way similar to the benign way of clipping with instant recovery of well
executed traditional class A/B amplifiers.

The sonic character of the M28 only reinforces the story
told by the numbers. This is an amazingly powerful and transparent amplifier
bringing new levels of refinement and dynamics at any level.

Fully Balanced Audio

The same efficient audio interface used by studios provides
the highest level of signal integrity with the lowest noise floor.

Locking connectors and special interface electronics allow
long cable runs without noise pickup or signal loss. All you get is awesome
sound without the possibility of noise pickup or interference.

Effortless Power

As our most powerful amplifier ever, the M28 can pump out
over 700W into difficult loads to follow complex dynamic peaks in your movies
and music. Everything from rim shots to asteroid explosions sound remarkably
real and immersive.

The M28 has power reserves to meet the demands of the latest
high-resolution digital soundtracks. Thanks to the advanced Purifi Eigentakt™
amplifier technology, all this monster power comes at a lot less cost than
traditional technology and delivers more power and performance!
