About the 7240PE

The NAD 7240PE stereo receiver, produced around 1987-1988, delivers 40 watts per channel into 8 ohms with a high-current Power Envelope design allowing short bursts up to 200 watts into 2 ohm loads. It features a sensitive dual-gate MOSFET front-end FM tuner with precise digital tuning and FM noise reduction, a low-noise MM phono preamplifier with accurate RIAA equalization, and tone controls including bass EQ and loudness. The receiver supports speaker loads from 2 to 8 ohms, has pre-outs and main-ins for integration with other components, and includes two sets of speaker outputs. Its Soft Clipping™ circuit prevents harsh distortion when driven beyond rated power. Dimensions are 420 x 108 x 380 mm, and it weighs approximately 7.48 kg. The unit is known for its clean sound, high dynamic headroom, and robust build, making it suitable for bookshelf or small speakers and capable of driving difficult loads with good electromagnetic control of the speaker voice coil.
