NAD VISO1 ........... A BREAKTHROUGH IN IPOD DOCK TECHNOLOGY

 

Inspired Design

Pure and simple: the NAD VISO 1 is the best sounding smart music streaming dock in the world. It’s a digital music system that combines the innovative digital iPod speaker dock award CES 2012audio technology with renowned NAD performance, simplicity and value. Integrated Bluetooth means you can wirelessly play your music from your iPod, iPhone, iPad, or any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, or laptop. The NAD VISO 1 is inspired design married to some of the most sophisticated audio technologies in the world today. The result is a new way to experience your mobile music collection. With the NAD VISO 1, every detail of your digital music is clear with all the warmth and emotion of a live musical performance. It’s room-filling, heart-pounding, and soul-stirring sound.

Simple, elegant. Timeless. The NAD VISO 1 looks at home no matter what the décor. Its sweeping curves not only look gorgeous, but also enhance acoustic performance.

Easy as 1, 2, 3

The NAD VISO 1 is compact and easy to enjoy right out of the box. No messy wires or complicated setup. The innovative precision 'ring' design allows you to operate your iPod in a completely natural way, without compromising Apple's well thought out ergonomics. After plugging in the power cord to a household outlet, simply dock your iPod in the rotating cradle, select your music, and press 'play'. The supplied remote handset allows you to start or stop the music, skip tracks and adjust the volume from your listening chair.

Wireless Options

Integrated Bluetooth aptX wireless high fidelity reception allows any Bluetooth enabled device to seamlessly integrate with the NAD VISO 1. This allows wireless integration of the iTouch, iPhone and iPad, as well as Android and Windows-based smartphones and tablets. Virtually any handheld device can stream music to NAD VISO 1 for great convenience.

Astounding Performance

NAD VISO 1 not only will play louder than other iPod docks, it plays with an uncanny smoothness and accuracy. Music seems to float in 3 dimensional space with vocals and instruments clearly defined and true to life. You've never heard your iPod sound this good!

NAD Direct Digital

This awesome little system came from our undeniable passion for clean, pure, vivid music. At the heart of the NAD VISO 1 is our proprietary Direct Digital amplifier technology—the same technology introduced in our top-of-the-line M2 Direct Digital Amplifier, and critically acclaimed worldwide. The NAD VISO 1 offers two major advances in iPod music systems: it plays the music stored on your iPod in its native digital form, completely bypassing the limiting audio circuits of the iPod, and the processing power inherent in Direct Digital technology allows the speakers to be optimized for sonic performance. We teamed up with our award-winning sister company, PSB Speakers, to make the NAD VISO 1 the ultimate compact music system with reduced cabinet resonances and enhanced acoustic radiation giving it the same musical authenticity and acoustic performance that has set PSB designs apart from all others over the last 40 years. Completely software-defined and controlled, the NAD VISO 1 Wireless Digital Music System is the ultimate performance in a brilliant design.

The best sounding Smart Music™ system in the world. Period.

The 751BD supports decoding of the very latest formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. And for the ultimate in user choice, these formats can be output as bitstreams over HDMI for an AV receiver to decode internally.

An audiophile extravaganza...
However it is the 751BD’s musical performance that really sets it apart from its peers with genuinely uncontested audiophile credentials. A mouth watering specification including five Wolfson WM8740 24/192kHz Digital to Analogue converters, Anagram Technologies Q5 192 kHz upsampling, a choice of digital filters and zealous attention to the design of audio circuits ensures the 751BD can reproduce the dynamics and scale required for the most elaborate movie soundtracks. The 751BD truly excels as an audio source supporting all high-resolution formats including DVD-A, SACD plus of course CD.

In use it’s whisper quiet and lightning fast for delay-free access to your movies and music.

Aesthetics and premium build quality are further strengths and Cambridge Audio’s trademark wrap-around casework houses the 751BD’s proprietary engineering within a low resonance, acoustically damped chassis.

Supplied with a wireless dongle...
The 751BD is ready to connect to the internet via Ethernet or Wi-Fi and supports BD Profile 2.0 (BD-Live and BonusView) and other interactive features.

With an immense combination of multi-format capability, 3D video performance and spine-tingling audio capability, the 751BD is waiting to show you how Blu-ray can really perform
