About the T973
The NAD T 973 is a seven-channel home-theater power amplifier rated at 140 watts per channel into either 4- or 8-ohm loads, with all seven channels driven simultaneously. It uses modular mono amplifier sections, a high-current toroidal power transformer, and NAD Soft Clipping circuitry on all channels. The amplifier is specified for operation with speaker loads down to 2 ohms and includes protection against overloads and excessive temperature. Connectivity comprises seven unbalanced RCA line-level inputs and seven pairs of speaker terminals. Published specifications include 0.03% total harmonic distortion, a 2 Hz–100 kHz frequency response, 125 dB A-weighted signal-to-noise ratio, 29 dB voltage gain, and a damping factor greater than 300. The chassis measures approximately 435 × 180 × 453 mm and weighs about 31 kg.
