NAD L56 - Manual (Page 2)

The FM tuner provides 30 preset positions for instant
recall of your favorite stations, and the handy RDS
decoder gives a useful read out of station call letters
and program information on the front panel display.
Tone controls with carefully chosen characteristics for
boost and cut affect only the front channels for fine
tuning the response of your loudspeakers and pro-
gram material. A headphone jack is provided for pri-
vate listening. Speaker connectors are the same high
quality binding posts found on our full size compo-
nents, and combined with gold plated input sockets
allow and encourage the use of premium quality
speaker and signal cables.
Performance
As you would expect from any component wearing
the NAD badge, performance is nothing short of
spectacular! Don’t be fooled by the compact dimen-
sions of the L56/L76 combo – performance and
power surpasses that of many (if not most) full size
components. The L76 boasts 5 X 45 watts of NAD’s
Full Disclosure power, more real distortion-free power
than many of our competitors offer in their 100 watt
receivers, as we measure all channels driven simulta-
neously over the full musical range.
This remarkable performance is achieved by using all
discrete high power transistors rather than the less
capable power IC’s favored by many of our competi-
tors. Combined with a high current power supply and
30 years of experience designing award winning
amplifier circuits, this NAD component can extract
every nuance of sound from your favorite music and
movie soundtracks.
The generous power capability allows the L76 to be
partnered with almost any of today’s high quality loud-
speakers – your enjoyment is not limited by the
mediocre speakers included with many other com-
pact systems!
The digital sections of both the L56 and L76 incorpo-
rate the latest generation Analog-to-Digital, and
Digital-to-Analog converters and DSP processing
chips for superb sonic and visual performance.
Picture quality from DVD is nothing less than stun-
ning, with natural color rendition and tremendous pic-
ture detail. We adjust our video parameters to broad-
cast standards, shunning many of the “tricks”
employed by our competitors to hype the brightness
and contrast ratios that may initially impress, but
prove tiring and unpleasant in the longer term.
System Synergy
The visual design and electronic performance of the
L56 and L76 are perfectly matched, creating a syner-
gy that will enhance your décor while intensifying the
pleasure of listening to music and watching movies.
Their compact size and elegant finish allow these
components to fit into spaces and places that most
high performance systems could never occupy.
