Works with: M15HD and M17
NAD introduced Modular Design Construction (MDC) in 2006, revolutionizing home audio systems by enabling cost-effective hardware upgrades to keep pace with new digital technologies. The innovative MDC technology eliminates early obsolescence, ensuring that your audio system stays current. Specifically designed for the Masters Series M17 AV Processor, the AM 17 incorporates Dolby Atmos® technology, which enhances the surround sound experience by adding a third dimension of height. This evolution transforms the 7.1 channel M17 into an eleven-channel surround processor, supporting the Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 sound field. The AM 17 is equipped with Dirac Live™, the most advanced room correction technology available, making it an ideal component for optimizing your audio system.
