MAIN FEATURES:
• Discrete high input impedance balanced input amp with greater than 70dB
Common Mode rejection ratio across the entire frequency range.
• High input impedance class-A amplifiers in the main signal path.
• Proprietary stepped-distributed low impedance volume control for ultra low
noise/distortion at all volume levels.
• PowerDrive current-mode power amplifier and NAD's patented output stage
with ultra low distortion that drive low impedance loads.
• Separate low-noise low-impedance regulated supplies for each channel's inputs
and driver stages.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX:
Packed with your M3 Dual Mono Integrated Amplifier you will find:
• A removable AC cable
• The M3 remote control with batteries
• The ZR3 second zone remote control with battery
• This Owner's Manual
SAVE THE PACKING:
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your M3 arrived. Should you move
or otherwise need to transport your integrated amplifier, this is by far the safest container
in which to do so. We've seen too many otherwise perfect components damaged in transit
for lack of a proper shipping carton, so please: Save that box!
QUICK START:
1. Connect the speakers to the rear Speaker sockets and sources to the relevant
rear input sockets.
2. Plug in the AC Mains cable to the back IEC socket of the M3.
3. Switch to ON, the POWER button on the rear panel, to turn the M3 to standby.
4. Press power button on the front panel to turn on the M3.
5. Press and toggle the listen button to select the source.
A NOTE ON INSTALLATION
Install this unit on any level surface that is strong enough to support its weight. Avoid
placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat and damp. Do not locate adjacent
to or directly above the amplifier a turntable (especially one with a moving-coil pick-up
cartridge) or a TV should since the M3's power transformers generate a significant
magnetic hum field.
The heat-sink fins make it awkward to lift the M3 by grasping the left and right sides. You
may find it more practical to place your hands under the front and rear panels. Much of
the M3's weight is near the front panel.
CAUTION: The amplifier's weight must always rest on its bottom feet. Never put the
amplifier down on its rear panel, with its front panel facing up. Doing so risks damage to
the input/output connectors.
The integrated amplifier generates some heat, even when idling, requiring internal and
external ventilation. Allow adequate ventilation. Do not place it in an enclosed position
such a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the air-flow through the ventilation slots.
Do not obstruct by papers or articles of clothing the ventilation slots on the top cover.
Furthermore, if you want to locate the amplifier on a carpeted floor, place a board under
the amplifier in order to prevent it from sinking into the carpet, blocking the air inlets on
its bottom.
