Product Description

Here is a Vintage NAD 705 AM/FM Stereo Integrated Receiver.  Cosmetic condition is excellent see photos.

This clean Vintage NAD Model 705 Receiver has been functionally tested against it's performance specifications and found to be in exceptional working condition. In addition to my usual measurement of amplifier response from source input to speaker output, I also checked the preamplifier section's frequency response alone, measured at its output prior to the power-amplifier section. It was a good +/-0.2 dB from 25 Hz to 20 kHz and was down less than 2 dB at 200 kHz. The tone controls have good characteristics, with a sliding bass-turnover frequency from approximately 100 to 400 Hz and treble curves that hinged at about 2.5 kHz. At reduced volume settings the loudness compensation boosted the lows (below 200 Hz) by a maximum of 10 dB and the highs by a maximum of 3 dB at 20 kHz.

The amplifier section of this 705 features; Envelope design, which enables it to deliver outputs well beyond it's continuous-power ratings during the brief intervals required by music peaks. Thus, despite its modest specification of 40 watts per channel into 8 ohms from 20 Hz to 20 kHz at less than 0.03 percent distortion. The Model 705 is also rated to deliver from 90 to 160 Peak Envelope Power, PEP watts per channel into loads of 8 to 2 ohms during program transients without clipping through NAD's Soft Clipping circuit, which causes the signal waveform to round off smoothly near the maximum power level, minimizing the harshness associated with peak clipping. This feature can be selected or defeated by a small slide switch on the rear apron of the unit.

The Model 705's front panel presents an uncluttered, functional appearance, especially in comparison with that of many other contemporary receivers of that time period and European design. Finished in attractive dark gray, used throughout the NAD line, the front panel is adorned with three small knobs and two larger ones, plus a few well-marked push-buttons and a headphone-jack.

Like most upscale receivers of that time, this NAD 705 has a display window (see photo) that shows its overall operating status. Large numerals indicate the tuned frequency and preset-channel number (as many as 39 AM or FM frequencies can be stored in a nonvolatile memory for instant recall).

Small buttons below the display control most of the receiver's functions. A pair of white up and down buttons select the program source for listening. When either is pressed, the display presents the available inputs: phono, video, CD, tuner, tape 1, tape 2, and auxiliary. An arrow moves as the buttons are pressed, to show the selected source. After a few seconds, the labels for all but the selected source are extinguished. The phono input is a welcome sight and it does accommodate a magnetic moving coil turntable cartridge. A feature not found on today’s integrated receivers.

In addition to the various signal input and output phono jacks, the Model 705's rear apron has separate preamp-out and main-amp-in jacks, joined by removable jumpers. This arrangement offers added flexibility for inserting external processors (a surround decoder, for example) into the signal path or substituting other power amplifiers for those built into the receiver. A pair of jacks labeled Multi Room Output carries the selected program at line level, unaffected by the receiver's volume, balance, or tone controls. In a multi-room installation the signal can be fed to a separate amplifier for driving speakers in other rooms. Other "NAD Link" jacks enable creation of a true multi-room remote-controlled music system with other compatible NAD components.

There is a 75-ohm coaxial FM antenna input and a connector for an AM antenna. The main (A) speaker outputs are insulated binding posts that accept single or dual banana plugs as well as stripped wires. The B speaker terminals are spring clips that are usable only with stripped wire ends. One of the two provided AC outlets is switched from the front panel.
