4.6 Extra DIN input functions
Input 6 (8 pin DIN) is compatible with 5 pin DIN leads and can also directly power a Naim
NVC TT phono stage.
Input 8 (5 pin DIN) has line level outputs mirroring the currently selected source. Note that
when this input is selected the source connected will be mirrored, so beware of feedback
loops if using a recording source.
4.7 Using headphones
The headphone output is capable of driving most headphones to very high volume levels.
While the headphone's plug is inserted the preamp's main outputs will be muted.
The headphone output has a separate volume setting. When headphones are inserted the
volume will be set to the level last used with headphones. When they are removed the
volume will be set back to the level last used with speakers.
5. Tips on installing and using your NAC 332
We know you are eager to enjoy your new NAC 332, but we promise it will sound even
better once you have followed these guidelines, all designed to help you experience your
preamplifier without compromise.
5.1 Unboxing and positioning
Your NAC 332 uses high-quality components, including a substantial power transformer
and durable aluminium casing. That means the NAC 332 weighs in at 11kg, so please take
care when lifting or moving it, and ensure the surface you plan to place it on is stable and
can support its weight.
For optimum performance, use your Naim products on a dedicated hi-fi equipment rack
– ideally the Naim Fraim or Fraim Lite – to minimise vibrations that can affect sound. No
room for a rack? Consider placing your NAC 332 on a Fraim glass shelf on a suitable piece
of furniture, to provide solid but discreet support.
Never stack Naim products on top of each other, and if you are placing them side-by- side,
please leave some distance between the units.
To reduce the risk of audible hum from the loudspeakers do not place power supplies or
power amplifiers close to source or preamplifier components.
5.2 Input connection details
The NAC 332 features several source connection options. For the best sound quality, we
recommend you use the DIN inputs.
