-Nad C426 FM/AM Tuner Graphite (Open Box)

The NAD C 426 FM/AM Tuner builds on the strengths of previous NAD tuners by offering reception quality that rivals that of today's broadcasts. We have carried forward our highly sensitive RF Front End for cleaner reception in fringe reception areas, and noise is extremely low across the audio spectrum. In line with global concern about climate change, we have completely redesigned the power supply for improved efficiency and ultra-low power consumption (<0.5W) during standby while still allowing all remote activation and control interfaces. The rear panel IR Input and RS-232 port allow the NAD C 426 FM/AM Tuner to be easily integrated with sophisticated system controllers used in custom installation. We also have one of the most intuitive user interfaces in the market utilizing a 24-position rotary encoder knob to more quickly tune stations or select pre-set stations

With 30 pre-sets available you can store all your favourite radio stations in any combination of AM and FM stations (for example, 25 pre-sets for FM and 5 for AM, or 17 for FM and 13 for AM). To avoid having to scroll through 30 pre-sets, the un-programmed (empty) ones are skipped to give you quick access to all your stations.

Instead of littering the front panel with buttons and features that are hardly ever used, the NAD C 426 FM/AM Tuner concentrates on convenience in daily operation. The RDS limits itself to the RDS PS (Program Service) and RT (Radio Text) function, both of which enhance ease of operation. The RDS PS will automatically indicate the name of the radio station you are listening to in the display. At the touch of a button, RDS RT will display additional information broadcast by the radio station, such as the presenter, the music playing, etc.

The NAD C426 FM/AM Tuner also offers features to get the maximum out of the airwaves. The MOS-FET RF Front End design together with high quality components and careful PCB layout guarantees excellent sensitivity with low intermodulation distortion to provide quiet and musically satisfying performance.
