CEDIA 2024, DENVER, CO, August 28, 2024 – NAD Electronics, a leader in high-performance audio, today announces the NAD M10 V3 BluOS Streaming Amplifier with improved performance and the latest generation of audio technologies. Beautifully designed with a full-colour touchscreen display and brushed aluminium chassis, the new M10 V3 features 100 watts per channel of nCore amplification and an industry-leading ESS SABRE^® ES9039 DAC that delivers incredible dynamic range and ultra-low distortion. The new M10 V3 is also ready to support Dirac Live Bass Control for revolutionary bass management in multi-subwoofer setups. The NAD M10 V3 (US $2,499 / EUR €2,499 / GBP £1,999) will be available globally in late Fall and include the new BC1 Remote Control.

“The original M10 was first introduced in 2019, and it was well beyond our expectations in design and performance,” said Cas Oostvogel, Product Manager at NAD Electronics. “The M10 V3 builds on this success through the advancement of new DAC technology and blending the convenience of modern music streaming with the rich listening experience of vinyl.”

Apple AirPlay 2 and aptX HD Bluetooth is also supported for limitless streaming of any app or service.

Dirac Live Bass Control is ready and available for the M10 V3.

Now, with Dirac Live Bass Control available as an upgrade, users can also optimize the subwoofer outputs in both time and frequency to deliver a smooth and seamless response between the subwoofers and main speakers. The new and included BC1 Remote Control features an EQ button for selecting programmed Dirac filter profiles.

“With Dirac Live Bass Control available on the NAD M10 V3, we’ve seamlessly integrated Dirac’s advanced bass management algorithms to ensure optimized performance and the most precise and immersive low-frequency experience,” said NAD’s Product Manager, Cas Oostvogel. “Our partnership with Dirac exemplifies our commitment to elevating audio quality, providing listeners with unparalleled sound clarity and depth for stereo and home theatre.”
