Product Description
The NAD T 175 AV tuner preamplifier boasts full High Definition surround sound decoding along with NAD's innovative approach to upgrading, known as Modular Design Construction (MDC). Advanced features include Audyssey Auto Setup and Calibration of all speaker settings, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio lossless surround sound decoding, cross conversion of all analog video formats, analog video to HDMI conversion, HDMI 1080p output, and much, much more. It is NAD's insistence on creating products with remarkable sound quality at sensible prices that has made NAD the first choice among the most knowledgeable listeners from around the world. NAD's 'Music First' philosophy dictates that the company endows its AV products with the same warm, involving sound quality that makes music listening so rewarding with its stereo components. This stands in stark contrast to our competitors who view AV components primarily from a 'content' point-of-view, with sound quality far down the list of priorities. Yet the T 175 is second to none in terms of flexibility and up-to-the-minute digital technology. The T 175 features NAD's newly developed HDMI repeater featuring Sigma's VXP Image Processor. Both analog and digital video sources can be selectively processed using Sigma's advanced VXP algorithms. This is the best performing image processing engine NAD could find, and the T 175 is the lowest priced AV tuner preamplifier on the market featuring this advanced technology. Automatic Audio Setup is available using the supplied calibrated microphone. Simply place the microphone in the listening position and select Audyssey Auto Calibration and the system automatically detects which speaker is connected, chooses the ideal crossover point to the subwoofer, checks speaker phasing, and adjusts the levels and delays. These adjustments are made to a level of accuracy that it would be difficult to duplicate by ear alone.
