NAD Electronics (NAD originally was an acronym for New Acoustic Dimension) is a Canadian producer of low-cost home audiophile amplifiers and components owned by the Lenbrook Group of Pickering, Ontario, Canada.[1] Its most famous product is the late-1970s NAD 3020 amplifier, designed by Bjørn Erik Edvardsen, which became a staple of low-budget Hi-Fi in Britain, where the company was originally founded in London by Martin Borish.
The company's philosophy is to include only genuinely useful features for aesthetically understated designs when compared to other competitors product. NAD used leading-edge designers but to contract in most cases lower-cost manufacturers on a product-by-product basis, typically in Asia, before the practice became more commonplace.
