NAD Introduces Reference A/V Processor for Masters Series

M15 HD2 Surround Sound Processor Combines High Performance,

Simplicity of Operation and Future-Proof Peace of Mind

CES Las Vegas, NV January 9, 2012-– NAD Electronics, the highly regarded manufacturer of high-performance audio/video components, introduced a state-of-the-art,7.1 surround sound processor for its prestigious Masters Series. M15 HD2 ($4500 MSRP) is fully 3D Ready, supports the latest audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio and is loaded with 6 1080p HDMI Digital Audio/Video Inputs plus numerous digital and analog inputs and outputs for virtually every application. The M15 HD2 is available now.

Consistent with NAD’s philosophy of simplicity of operation as well as the company’s unwavering commitment to sound quality, NAD engineers have kept all this processing power of the M 15 HD2 as simple and intuitive aspossible. Once the system and user preferences are set, the M15 HD2operates very much like one the company’s stereo preamplifiers, which is to say easy.

The User Interface uses a clear front panel display as well as an ‘on screen display’that provides setup information directly on your connected TV screen. This is wherethe M15 HD2 can be customized to reflect your specific needs and desires. Surroundformat preferences, level matching of inputs (so there won’t be an annoying jumpin volume when you switch sources), and even the renaming of inputs can all beset in these simple two layer menus.

“The M15HD2 includes the latest HDMI video technology and features, and when combined with NAD’s renowned digital audio performance and innovative Modular Design Construction, it offers High End Integrators and their clients a truly unique Home Theater proposition” explains NAD’s Greg Stidsen, Director of Technology and Product Planning. “Modular Design Construction also allows existing 15HD owners to upgrade to the new HD2 spec by simply installing the MV 15 HDMI Upgrade Module”.

The latest components that incorporate cutting-edge digital technology offer many significant advantages but one drawbackis the constantly changing delivery formats especially for digitalcontent.
