The Power of Music

Founded in 1972 in London, England, NAD (New Acoustic Dimension) began with a simple mission: create audio components that deliver the most realistic sound possible at accessible prices.

Under the guidance of founder Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, NAD pioneered the concept of "value engineering" in hi-fi — stripping away unnecessary features to focus on what matters most: pure, unadulterated sound.

Today, headquartered in Canada and part of the Lenbrook Group, NAD continues to push boundaries with innovative technologies like BluOS streaming, Dirac Live room correction, and their renowned amplifier designs that have earned countless awards and loyal followers worldwide.

Innovation That Matters

NAD has a history of introducing technologies that later become industry standards. Their "PowerDrive" circuit, for example, was revolutionary in getting great sound from difficult speaker loads.

More recently, NAD's embrace of Dirac Live room correction — widely considered the best room correction system available — sets them apart from competitors. Combined with their modular upgrade path, a NAD component today remains current for years to come.

Whether you choose the entry-level C Series or the flagship M Series, you're getting decades of amplifier expertise and cutting-edge streaming technology.
