NaimUniti Introduction
1 NaimUniti Introduction
NaimUniti is a highly capable product that will repay time and effort spent on installation
and setup. We strongly recommend that you read this manual. NaimUniti effectively
incorporates five separate elements. Each of these is introduced in the following
paragraphs and subsequently described in full detail in Sections 5 to 9. The NaimUniti
elements are:
An Integrated Stereo Amplifier Introduced below and fully described in Section 5
A CD Player Introduced below and fully described in Section 6
A Multi-mode Radio Introduced below and fully described in Section 7
A UPnP™ Audio Interface Introduced below and fully described in Section 8
A USB/iPod Audio Interface Introduced below and fully described in Section 9
Prior to the sections describing NaimUniti’s elements, Section 2 covers its installation,
Section 3 describes its operation and Section 4 describes its setup.
1.1 The Integrated Amplifier
1.1.1 Inputs
NaimUniti incorporates an audio preamplifier that provides
five analogue and five S/PDIF digital audio external
inputs. The preamplifier also accepts internal inputs from
NaimUniti’s integrated CD player and FM/DAB tuner.
In addition to conventional analogue and digital input
signals, the NaimUniti preamplifier can accommodate the
following external peripheral inputs:
• iPodmodelsandUSBmemoryviaaUSBinterface.
• Internetradioanduniversalplugandplay(UPnP™)
servers via an Ethernet network socket or wireless
network connection.
1.1.2 Signal Outputs
The NaimUniti preamplifier provides the following analogue
signal outputs:
• Alineoutput(prevolumeandbalancecontrols).
• Twomonounfilteredsubwooferoutputs
(post volume and balance controls).
• Apreamplifieroutput
(post volume and balance controls).
• Aheadphoneoutput
(post volume and balance controls).
1.1.3 Controls
The NaimUniti preamplifier provides volume, balance, input
selection and mute control from either the front panel or
the supplied remote handset.
1.1.4 Speaker Outputs
NaimUniti incorporates a stereo power amplifier rated at
50 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms. The power amplifier is
designed to drive one pair of speakers via the sockets on
the NaimUniti rear panel.
1.2 The CD Player
NaimUniti incorporates a CD player based on the same
swing-out CD drawer and transport used in other Naim CD
players. The transport is able to play standard “Red Book”
CDs and CDR discs. CD track order can be programmed
or tracks can be shuffled (played randomly).
1.3 The Multi-mode Radio
The NaimUniti multi-mode radio combines an FM/DAB
(Digital Audio Broadcasting) tuner and an internet radio
(iRadio) player. A total of 40 radio stations across all three
modes can be stored as presets. In FM and DAB mode
stations are tuned by NaimUniti scanning the respective
transmission bands. In iRadio mode NaimUniti receives
data streams and a list of available radio stations from
a dedicated internet server. iRadio requires broadband
internet access via a home network connection.
The NaimUniti DAB module incorporates full broadcast
and station display capabilities. The FM module is fully RDS
(Radio Data System) capable.
Note: DAB and RDS broadcasts are not available in all
territories.
1.4 The UPnP™ Audio Interface
NaimUniti can connect to a home network and play audio
files stored on UPnP™ drives.
1.5 The USB/iPod Interface
NaimUniti incorporates a front panel USB interface socket
that enables audio files stored on USB memory sticks and
Apple iPod models to be selected and played.
Note: 5th generation and later, and all iPod touch models,
are compatible with the NaimUniti USB interface.
Note: Earlier iPod and other portable music players may be
connected from their headphone sockets to NaimUniti’s
front panel analogue input using a 3.5mm stereo jack
cable. Player control via NaimUniti’s user interface will not
however be possible.

2
NaimUniti Installation and Connection
2.2 Mains Power Connection
Connect NaimUniti to a mains power socket using either
the mains cable supplied or a Naim Power-Line.
2.3 FM/DAB Aerial Connection
In order to enable high quality FM and DAB radio,
NaimUniti requires a strong, interference-free radio signal.
Its rear panel FM/DAB Aerial socket must be connected,
via 75 Ohm low-loss coaxial cable, to a suitable aerial. The
aerial should be mounted clear of large obstructions and
as high as possible; ideally on a roof.
Note: Your local retailer should be able to offer advice on
a suitable aerial and aerial installer.
2.4 Audio Signal Connections
2.4.1 Audio Signal Inputs
NaimUniti provides five stereo analogue inputs and five
S/PDIF digital inputs including one combined analogue/
digital input socket. Connection to the inputs is made via
a variety of socket types. The following table lists the inputs
and their socket types:
Input Type Socket
an. 1 Analogue RCA phonos
an. 2 Analogue RCA phonos
an. 3 Analogue RCA phonos
phono Analogue 240° 5 pin DIN
front panel Analogue 3.5mm jack
Digital 3.5mm mini-TosLink jack
dig. 1 Digital Coaxial (RCA phono)
dig. 2 Digital Optical (TosLink)
dig. 3 Digital Coaxial (RCA phono)
dig. 4 Digital Optical (TosLink)
Note: The Phono DIN socket carries a power supply output
intended to power a Naim phono preamplifier. A turntable
cannot be used with NaimUniti without an external phono
preamplifier.
Note: The front panel analogue/digital jack socket can
accept both conventional analogue 3.5mm plugs and
mini-TosLink optical digital plugs. It will automatically
identify the type of plug inserted and handle the signal
appropriately.
Always use high quality interconnect cables to connect
sources to NaimUniti inputs.
2 NaimUniti Installation and Connection
NaimUniti should be installed on an equipment stand intended for the purpose. Do not
stand it directly on top of another item of equipment and ensure it is well ventilated. Care
should be taken to ensure that it is level. It should be installed in its final location before
connecting cables or switching on. NaimUniti has no standby mode and is intended to be
left switched on.
A transit screw on the underside of the NaimUniti case should be removed before use and
replaced if the unit is to be moved. This transit screw must not be used in any other Naim
product. Handle NaimUniti with extra care once the transit screw is removed.
Connecting NaimUniti to mains power and to a variety of audio peripherals and sources
is described in the following paragraphs. Diagram 2.1 illustrates the NaimUniti rear panel
connection sockets.

NaimUniti Installation and Connection
2.4.2 Audio Signal Outputs
NaimUniti provides audio signal outputs for a variety of
applications. Connections to the outputs are made via the
socket types listed in the following table:
Output Type Socket
Preamp out Analogue stereo 4-pin DIN
Sub out 1 Analogue mono RCA phono
Sub out 2 Analogue mono RCA phono
Line out Analogue stereo RCA phonos
Note: The preamp output is intended for connection to an
upgrade or second power amplifier. The output is taken
after the NaimUniti volume and balance controls so a
power amplifier connected to it will respond to NaimUniti
volume and balance control changes. The output always
reflects the selected input signal.
Note: The two subwoofer outputs are mono and unfiltered.
They are taken after the NaimUniti volume control so
subwoofers connected to them will respond to NaimUniti
volume control changes. The outputs always reflect the
selected input signal and can be switched on or off in the
Speakers setup menu.
Note: The stereo line output is intended to be connected
to a recording device. It is taken before the NaimUniti
volume and balance controls so does not reflect volume
or balance control changes. The output always reflects the
selected input signal.
2.5 Speaker Outputs
A set of stereo speaker connection sockets is provided on
the NaimUniti rear panel. Custom Naim Audio loudspeaker
connectors are supplied to make the connection and in
order to comply with current European safety regulations
these should always be used. Naim Audio speaker cable
will provide the best results, however, a range of speaker
cable types may be used without risk of damage to the
amplifier. Contact your local Naim retailer for further
advice. Use equal lengths of speaker cable for each
channel.
Ensure when connecting speakers that they are “in
phase”. That is, the positive and negative connection
orientation at both the speaker and amplifier ends of the
cable is the same for both channels.
2.6 Headphone Output
NaimUniti is fitted on its front panel with a 3.5mm stereo
headphone socket. Insertion of a headphone plug will
mute the speaker outputs.
Note: NaimUniti controls and stores volume settings
separately for headphones and speakers.
2.7 Signal Ground Switch
NaimUniti is fitted on its rear panel with a Signal Ground
switch offering two positions: Chassis or Floating. Select
the Chassis position unless NaimUniti is connected in a hi-fi
system incorporating another earthed source component,
or mains “hum” is audible through the loudspeakers.
Contact your retailer, distributor or Naim for advice if
necessary.
Note: “Connected” in the context above means an
analogue audio signal cable that includes an earth
connection.
Note: All Naim CD players are earthed so the Signal
Ground switch should be set to floating if one is connected
in the system.
No damage will be done if the wrong Signal Ground
position is chosen, however the system sound quality may
be compromised.
2.7.1 General Audio Connection Notes
The NaimUniti negative analogue input and output
connections for each channel are common. The mains
earth (ground) should always be connected regardless of
what other equipment is used. The mains earth primarily
grounds the case and the electrostatic screen within the
transformer, and is only connected to the signal negative if
the Signal Ground switch is set to Chassis. In order to avoid
hum loops, the signal negative of the whole system should
be connected to the mains earth in one place only.
2.8 USB/iPod Interface
NaimUniti is fitted with a front panel USB interface intended
for the connection of Apple iPod models and USB memory
sticks carrying audio files. The USB interface should not be
used for any other purpose.
Depending on the setup options chosen (see Section
4.3.6), iPod batteries will be charged when connected to
the USB interface.
2.9 Network Connections
2.9.1 Wired Network Connection
NaimUniti is fitted on its rear panel with a standard RJ45
Ethernet socket. This socket enables NaimUniti to join home
networks via a network router to access internet radio
data streams or to play audio files stored on appropriately
configured UPnP™ servers.
Ethernet-over-mains hardware may be used and provides
a simple and convenient method of wired home network
connection. However, depending on mains wiring factors
specific to each home environment, the presence of
network data on the mains supply may compromise
overall system sound quality. If any sound quality
compromise is found to be unacceptable, dedicated

4
NaimUniti Installation and Connection
network cabling should be installed or wireless networking
should be employed.
2.9.2 Wireless Network Connection
If NaimUniti is to connect wirelessly to the home network
the supplied Wi-Fi antenna must be fitted to the rear panel
wireless antenna socket. Wireless configuration will also
be necessary before NaimUniti is able to connect to the
network. See Section 4.6.1 of this manual.
2.9.3 Network Settings
NaimUniti is set up when originally shipped not to require
any on-site network configuration but to connect to a
network automatically (it uses DHCP by default). However,
if your NaimUniti has been previously used, its network
configuration may have been altered leaving it unable
to connect automatically. If this appears to be the case
ensure that DHCP is selected in the Network Settings menu
and re-start NaimUniti. If problems still persist contact your
retailer, installer or Naim Audio directly. See Section 4.6.
Note: Before reporting network connection problems carry
out a Factory Reset operation and try again. Select Reset
All Settings from the Factory Settings setup menu. See
Section 4.10.
Note: A NaimUniti switched on without a working wired
network connection will only be able to connect to
a home network wirelessly. To use an Ethernet (wired)
connection, switch NaimUniti off, connect the network and
switch it on again.
Note: For internet radio to operate NaimUniti requires
connection to a broadband internet service via a router/
modem with a built-in firewall.
2.10 Control Sockets
NaimUniti is fitted on its rear panel with a standard RS232
interface socket and a Remote in socket. The RS232 socket
is intended to enable firmware upgrades and diagnostic
tests to be carried out. Contact your retailer, distributor or
Naim for more information if required.

4.6 The Network Settings Menu
The Network Settings menu
enables NaimUniti network
parameters to be customised
to suit the router and network.
The options are tabulated and
described in the following sections:
Parameter Options
Name: User definable (text entry)
Default: Uniti-xxxx
Wireless: Not Used / Wireless Network Names
Status: Connected / No Signal / Login Failure /
Busy / Etc.
DHCP: Yes / No
The Name parameter enables the NaimUniti’s default
network name to be changed.
The Wireless parameter enables a wireless network to be
chosen and joined. See Section 4.6.1 below for detailed
wireless set up notes.
Network Status displays the current network connection
status.
The DHCP parameter enables the NaimUniti network
settings to be modified. In most cases, specifying Yes and
leaving NaimUniti set to DHCP, will be the appropriate
option. See Section 4.6.2 below for notes on non-DHCP
network connection.
Note: Devices installed on a network have an IP address
through which they are identified by all the other items
on the network. DHCP is a set of rules that enable the
automatic allocation of addresses as items are connected
(or switched on while connected) to the network.
NaimUniti is set up by default to use DHCP.
Note: If NaimUniti is connected to the network both
wirelessly and via Ethernet (wired), the Ethernet connection
will take priority.
4.6.1 Wireless Network
Connection Set Up
If the Wireless parameter is
selected in the Network Settings
menu the Select Network menu
will display a list of the available
networks. An option not to use a wireless connection is
also provided. Use the handset up (5) or down (6) keys
to scroll through the list and the ok/list key to select a
network.
Note: NaimUniti is compatible with most commonly used
Wi-Fi standards. Routers that support 802.11b and 802.11g
will work, however those with 802.11g compatibility are
recommended for best results.
Note: As with any wireless network hardware, NaimUniti
connection reliability will be affected by both network
router performance and Wi-Fi signal quality. To minimise the
possibility of poor connection reliability, NaimUniti should be
connected to network audio sources by no more than one
wireless “leg”. Other “legs” necessary between NaimUniti
and the network audio sources should be wired.
Note: NaimUniti cannot connect to a “hidden” wireless
network.
If the selected network is secure
and requires a passphrase or
access key to join, NaimUniti will
display an alert message. Pressing
the handset ok/list key will then
open a text entry screen for entry
of the passphrase or access key.
Use the handset numeric/text
keys to enter the passphrase or
access key taking care to ensure
that the letter case is correct.
Press the handset ok/list key
when text entry is complete. In
the illustration the passphrase is
“flatfish”.
If the network is successfully
joined NaimUniti will display a
confirmation screen.
If an incorrect passphrase or
access key is entered NaimUniti
will display an alert message.
Note: As a security measure,
a router may also require the
NaimUniti’s MAC address to be entered before allowing
it to join the wireless network. This type of security feature
is known as ‘MAC address filtering’. The NaimUniti MAC
address is shown in the ‘Factory settings > System Status’
page.

NaimUniti Setup
Note: The wireless passphrase/access key is created when
the wireless router is first set up and could be a word or a
series of numbers and letters. If the passphrase/access key
is not known, check on the router settings page or with the
person who initially set up the router.
Note: If a router offers multiple security configurations,
NaimUniti will automatically offer only the most secure one.
Note: If WEP security is used the router should be set to
“auto” or “open” authentication.
If the selected network is insecure
and requires no passphrase or
access key to join, NaimUniti will
display an alert message. Pressing
the handset ok/list key will
immediately connect NaimUniti
to the network and display a
confirmation screen.
Note: Wireless connection difficulties can sometimes
be resolved by changing the wireless connection
channel in the router settings.
4.6.2 Non-DHCP (Static) Network
Connection
If DHCP is de-selected in the
Network Settings menu, five
further parameters will be
displayed.
Parameter Options
IP: User definable (numerical entry)
Default: 0.0.0.0
Mask: User definable (numerical entry)
Default: 0.0.0.0
Gateway (Gtwy): User definable (numerical entry)
Default: 0.0.0.0
DNS1: User definable (numerical entry)
Default: 0.0.0.0
DNS2: User definable (numerical entry)
Default: 0.0.0.0
These settings enable NaimUniti to connect to a network
using a fixed IP address. On selecting each one in turn,
numerical entry screens will be displayed that require
completion with the appropriate network IP address
settings. Consult your network router’s user documentation
for help with specifying fixed IP address settings.

NaimUniti Integrated Amplifier
5 NaimUniti Integrated Amplifier
NaimUniti incorporates a high performance integrated preamplifier and power amplifier
based on established Naim design principles. The preamplifier is able to handle both
analogue and digital audio signals and, in addition to NaimUniti’s internal CD player,
multi-format radio and network interface it has inputs for five external analogue and five
external digital signals.
Using the NaimUniti amplifier is simply a matter of selecting the desired input and setting
the listening volume level.
5.1 Selecting Inputs
Inputs can be selected by pressing the front panel input
button, the handset up (5) and down (6) keys or one of
the handset input selection keys.
Note: The front panel input is automatically selected as
soon as a plug is inserted.
Pressing the front panel input button or handset up (5)
and down (6) keys scrolls through and selects the inputs in
the following order:
CD, FM (radio), DAB (radio), iRadio, UPnP™ (Network
UPnP™), iPod, USB, Front (front panel analogue/digital),
Analogue 1, Analogue 2, Analogue 3, Phono, Digital 1,
Digital 2, Digital 3, Digital 4.
Note: These are the default input names. They may be
altered within the NaimUniti set up menus. See Section 4.3.
Inputs can also be disabled so that they are hidden from
selection.
Pressing one of the handset input selection keys either
directly selects a single input or scrolls through a group
of inputs. For example, by default, pressing the CD input
selection key selects the CD input, while pressing the radio
input selection key scrolls through a group comprising the
FM, DAB and iRadio inputs.
Note: The default input selection key assignments may be
altered within the NaimUniti set up menus. See Section
4.9.2.
Selecting an input will route that input’s audio signal to the
NaimUniti outputs.
NaimUniti will momentarily display input names as they are
selected before displaying input specific information; CD
track or radio preset for example.
If an input is not operational (for example, no USB memory
stick is attached) when selected, NaimUniti will display a
descriptive alert message.
5.2 Volume Control
NaimUniti volume control is achieved by using either the
front panel –vol and vol+ buttons or the handset vol–
and vol+ keys. The volume control affects the speaker,
headphone, subwoofer and preamplifier outputs.
Note: In list or setup modes front panel volume control is
disabled. Volume can still be controlled using the handset
volume keys.
The mute function silences the NaimUniti speaker,
headphone, preamplifier and subwoofer outputs and is
engaged or disengaged by pressing the front panel mute
button or handset mute key. Mute is indicated by the
display volume icon flashing.
5.3 Amplifier Display
In normal operation the NaimUniti front panel display
primarily shows information relating to the selected input. It
will change temporarily to show amplifier adjustments such
as volume level and signal mute state as these are made.
5.4 Signal Outputs
In addition to its speaker outputs the NaimUniti integrated
amplifier provides a stereo line output, two mono unfiltered
subwoofer outputs, a stereo preamplifier output, and a
headphone output.
The line output can be used to connect NaimUniti to an
analogue recording device. The NaimUniti volume control
has no effect on the line output level.
The subwoofer outputs are specifically intended to
provide signals appropriate to drive active subwoofers.
The two subwoofer outputs are identical mono signals. The
appropriate subwoofer/speaker configuration can be set
up through the Speakers setup menu. See Section 4.4.
The preamplifier output is designed to enable an upgrade
or additional Naim Audio power amplifier to be connected
to the NaimUniti preamplifier.
The NaimUniti headphone amplifier is able to drive
most commonly available headphones. Insertion of
a headphone plug will mute the NaimUniti speaker,
preamplifier and subwoofer outputs.
5.5 Amplifier Fault Warnings
In the unlikely event that the NaimUniti power amplifier is
overloaded, exceeds its normal operating temperature or
malfunctions, its output will mute and the display will show
a warning message.

6.5 CD Player Maintenance
It is important for reliable operation of the NaimUniti CD
player to ensure that the surfaces of the transport platter
and the underside of the puck are free of dust or debris
which can prevent the disc from sitting properly and cause
it to slip.
To clean the transport platter, take a piece of Blu-Tack and
lightly apply it to the top surface of the magnetic metal
hub, picking up any material attached to it. Brush the
plastic outer edge lightly with your finger or a soft brush to
ensure that it is dust and particle free. Similarly, clean the
puck with Blu-Tack, to remove debris from its underside.
Do not, under any circumstances, use any solvents or fluids
for the cleaning process.
