Separate components have always been used in professional applications, and occupy the highest tier of performance for consumer electronics products. The T975 are the culmination of engineering efforts using our “Music First” design philosophy. When matched with one of our premium-grade preamplifiers, the T975 truly comes to life with sound that will immerse you into a new kind of listening experience. Indeed, for music or cinema the T975 delivers on our promise of high-performance at a reasonable cost. A true Mono-Block modular construction, the T975 effectively eliminates unwanted channel cross-talk and other distortions harmful to pure sound through its premium grade components including true Class A input circuit topology, high-current Holmgren™ toroidal power transformers. Stable at 8 to 2-ohms, the T975 works to preserve pure sound through NAD’s proprietary Soft Clipping™ technology.
The T975 employs monoblock construction for each of its channels. Every element of each channel’s circuitry, save the power supply is fully independent, eliminating inter-channel influences as a concern. The T975 employs active ground isolation to further eliminate any possibility of inter-channel interference even when more than one preamplifier is driving the power amp (as might be the case in a custom installation). Each section features an FET Class A input and driver stage circuits, and a high-current output-stage design, employing high speed, high current discrete output devices to promulgate superb dynamic quality. The result is musical detail, impact, and soundstage stability and depth unmatched by multi-channel amps of even two and three times the T975’s price. NAD’s proprietary Soft Clipping™ (defeatable) maintains sonic quality and offers speaker protection even under severe overdrive conditions.
The T975 also benefits from NAD’s proprietary PowerDrive circuit topology, now well established and used throughout the NAD product range. The PowerDrive topology allows the T975 to deliver maximum performance under virtually any circumstance, independent of the loudspeakers it is driving. The circuitry automatically senses the impedance characteristics of the loudspeaker and will then adjust its power supply settings to best cope with that specific load. PowerDrive topology is a practical approach to enable an amplifier to easily deal with musical dynamics and difficult speaker loads. Thus we have the highly desirable characteristics of high dynamic power and low impedance drive capability in one affordable package.
