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.
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 control so a power amplifier
connected to it will respond to NaimUniti volume 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 control so does not reflect volume 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 iPod Interface
AniPodcanbeconnectedtotherear-mountedinterface
socketusingtheNaimn-Linkcable(availableseparately).
In addition to audio signals the NaimUniti iPod socket
carries iPod control signals as well as providing power to
chargetheiPodbattery.
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
networkcablingshouldbeinstalledorwirelessnetworking
shouldbeemployed.

E4
NaimUniti Installation and Connection
2.9.2 Wireless Network Connection
If NaimUniti is to connect wirelessly to the home network
thesuppliedWiFi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: 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. These
socketsenableNaimUnititobeintegratedwithinhome
automation systems. Contactyourretailer,distributoror
Naimformoreinformationifrequired.

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
WiFi standards. Routers that support 802.11b and 802.11g
will work, however those with 802.11g compatibility are
recommended for best results.
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 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(Analogue4),
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
4.8.2.
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.

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heaphones.Insertionofaheadphone
plug will mute the NaimUniti speaker, preamplifier and
subwooferoutputs.
