NAD C427
FM/AM stereo tuner from NAD, designed for refined radio reception and simple integration into a multi-room system.
Description
The NAD C427 is an FM/AM stereo tuner intended for receiving broadcast radio stations and integrating into a hi-fi system. Designed by NAD, it naturally complements amplifiers from the same brand within a system dedicated to radio listening.
The RF receiver of this unit has been engineered to improve reception sensitivity, including in areas where the signal is weak. This feature allows stations that would escape a less sensitive tuner to be picked up, with a noticeable reduction in background noise perceived when listening.
At the rear, the C427 features an infrared input and an RS-232 port, two elements that allow it to be remotely controlled and integrated into complex multi-room installations, where several devices need to communicate with one another or be operated from a centralised interface.
This tuner is aimed at radio enthusiasts who wish to keep a quality FM/AM source within a hi-fi system, particularly those already owning a NAD amplifier with which the unit naturally pairs. It will suit both simple listening and a remotely controlled multi-room installation.
What to check before buying used
FM/AM reception depends closely on the condition of the variable tuning dial and the internal aerial wiring: persistent hiss or drifting stations often point to a worn tuning potentiometer or fatigued RF connectors. Also check that the RS-232 port and infrared input are working properly, as their occasional use in multi-room installations makes them more prone to pin oxidation. Testing the stored presets also helps confirm that the internal backup battery is still holding its charge.
