NAD MONITOR Series 1600 Preamp Tuner with NAD System Remote control. Have owned since 2007. Good cosmetic and working condition, remote works well. Had been running this into my NAD C320 amplifier up until 3 years ago when amp started playing up. (Available in other listing). Includes original instruction manuals and brochure for AMP and remote. Remote control is pretty hard to find now, will work on all NAD Monitor series products from that era.

The supplied remote control is designed as a system control for other NAD components, including a cassette deck and a CD player. Many of the keys on the remote unit serve different (but analogous) functions depending on which source is selected. For example, the numbered buttons can select either preset stations, tracks on a CD, or recorded segments on a tape.

The rear apron of the NAD 1600 contains input and output jacks for all of the signal sources as well as the pre-out jacks that connect to a power amplifier. The phono-input jacks are gold-plated, and a small switch below them sets the preamplifier gain for a moving-magnet (MM) or moving-coil (MC) cartridge. Another switch activates an infrasonic filter that operates with all inputs, although it is likely to be required only when playing records.

There are two AC outlets on the rear apron, one of them switched, as well as a coaxial connector for a 75-ohm FM antenna feeder and spring connectors for a long-wire AM antenna and ground. Unlike most tuners, the NAD 1600 does not come with a loop antenna for am reception.
