NAD 414 stereo tuner - charcoal grey :
Design : The NAD 414 tuner shares the minimalistic, yet classy design typical of the entire NAD range
The NAD 414 has evolved from the award winning 402 The 402 was named “Best Tuner, 1994” by What Hi Fi. Improvements include a new high clarity display and a re-designed chassis
The NAD 414 is a superlative product and it out-performs many other tuners that cost far more. Employing high quality components in it’s simple circuit topology give the unit (and it’s predeccesor) the noise free, low distortion performance that have made NAD tuners famous
Only the most essential functions are employed resulting in an uncluttered front panel of a product that is simple to use. 24 stations (12 FM, 12AM) can be entered in the preset mode
They are stored in a non volatile memory which allows the preset stations to remain in memory even if the unit is unplugged from the mains supply. Unlike most other tuners, the 414 tunes in 25kHz increments
This, coupled with crystal oscillator controlled digital frequency synthesis makes for precise tuning and enables the user to fine tune to their desired stations with ease
A centre tune LED indicates that the 414 is accurately locked to the transmitted signal
The SEARCH mode allows the 414 to tune to the nearest strong station, up or down the band, whilst the TUNE mode allows rapid scanning through the band. In both modes the software "wraps" the frequency band around allowing you to skip directly from the top of the band to the bottom or vice versa
When attempting to listen to weak stations, sometimes the background noise can become annoying and spoil the listeners enjoyment of the programme. The BLEND function reduces this noise whist still retaining adequate stereo separation
NAD link is provided, enabling the 414 to be remotely controlled by another NAD product that is also fitted with NAD link and which has an IR sensor
