Background
Most A/V receivers available on the market today focus predominantly on the Video and Surround Sound
aspects, leaving the audio circuitry almost as an afterthought. With NAD’s reputation for high value / high
performance it was obvious that the Model AV 711 would have to please Audiophiles and Videophiles alike.
By doing away with many costly and superfluous features, NAD’s designers concentrated only on the truly
important parts of an A/V receiver. The NAD Model AV 711 uses discrete output stages only, including the
surround channels. The benefits of this approach have been proven over the years in many acclaimed
NAD amplifiers and receivers. The integrated output modules favoured by so many other designs will
deliver a decent amount of power under laboratory conditions, driving an 8 ohms resistor, but can have
great difficulties in driving moderately difficult speakers. Using circuitry derived from NAD’s renowned
EDP technology, the NAD Model AV 711 will drive 4 ohms loudspeakers with ease and deliver high
amounts of dynamic power.
Flexibility
As one would expect from any NAD component, the Model AV 711 offers great flexibility. Two video, two
Tape, a CD and an Auxilary input allows you to connect all your sources with ease.
The remote control handset supplied with the Model AV 711 also has controls for NAD CD players or
changers and a (dubbing) cassette deck. With NAD Link it is possible to remote control other NAD
products which do not have their own remote control (NAD Cassette Deck Model 616, for instance)
from the Model 711’s remote control.
Ease of use
Ease of use is another key factor for NAD products and the Model AV 711 is no exception. The built-in
Pink-Noise generator -accessible by remote control- allows for accurate calibrating of the Front, Center
and Surround speakers.
Thirty presets can be programmed at random with either AM or FM stations. Three banks of 10 stations
means you can organise the presets to personal preference (his or hers) or program type (rock,
classical music, news).
Rather than providing many different surround sound modes (Church, Jazz, Stadium, etc.) which makes
so many others receivers cluttered and over complicated, the engineers concentrated on perfecting the
Dolby Pro Logic decoding and steering. For music the Hall mode can be engaged, adding a natural level
of reverberance and life.
In keeping with the NAD tradition, the Model AV 711 provides performance, ease of use and flexibility
which is hard to match. This new addition to the NAD line of products is equally at home in a system for
discerning music lovers, as it is in a system for those looking to get the best out of Dolby Surround laser
Discs, Videos and Compact Discs.
