As with all our products, NAD's "Music First" design philosophy guided
the M32's design. We have also been careful to ensure that the M32 is
as musically transparent, faithful to every detail and spatially accurate as
possible, incorporating much of what we've learned from more than a
quarter-century's experience designing audio, video and home-theater
components.
We encourage you to take a few minutes now to read right through this
manual. Investing a little time here at the outset might save you a good
deal of time later, and is by far the best way to ensure that you make the
most of your investment in the M32.
