Introduction
1. Uniti Series Components and Audio Sources
Welcome to Naim and congratulations on your purchase. This manual covers the Naim Uniti Series of all-in-one streaming
music players: UnitiQute 2, UnitiLite, NaimUniti 2 and SuperUniti. The Uniti Series are highly capable products that will
repay time and eort spent on installation and conguration and we strongly recommend that you read this manual in full.
The manual provides comprehensive information on all Uniti Series features and facilities and will enable you to set up your
product either to integrate with your existing home entertainment systems and media or to form the heart of a new system.
Uniti Series products incorporate separate components in various combinations and can play audio from a variety of sources.
Each of these is introduced in the following Section 1 paragraphs and subsequently described in full detail in Sections 5 to 10.
Sections 2 to 4 cover installation and conguration.
Uniti Series products can be controlled from their front panels, the supplied remote control handset, and from the Naim app
freely available from the Apple iTunes App Store and the Google Play Store.

1.1.1 Inputs
Uniti Series products incorporate an integrated amplier
that provides external analogue and S/PDIF digital audio
inputs. The number of external inputs provided varies with
each product. They are tabulated in Section 2.2.1. On Uniti
Series products with an internal CD player (UnitiLite and
NaimUniti 2) the amplier also handles this input.
In addition to these conventional analogue and digital
inputs, Uniti Series ampliers can also play audio from the
the following external sources:
• Internet radio via a wired network socket or wireless
network connection.
• DAB and FM radio via an external aerial.
• iOS (iPod, iPhone and iPad) and UMS (Universal Mass
Storage) USB memory devices via a USB interface.
• Universal plug and play (UPnP™) servers holding audio
les via a wired network socket or wireless network
connection.
• Spotify®streams via a wired network socket or wireless
network connection from the Spotify®Connect facility
incorporated in some Spotify®player apps.
• Bluetooth®audio streams from Bluetooth equipped
hardware such as iOS, Android and Windows Phone
mobile devices, running a suitable music player app.
• Music streams from other Uniti Series products
connected to the same home network.
1.1.2 Signal Outputs
Uniti Series products provide a variety of analogue and
digital signal outputs. The number and type of signal
outputs varies with each product. They are tabulated in
Section 2.2.1.
1.1.3 Speaker Outputs
Uniti Series products incorporate stereo power ampliers
rated at between 30 watts and 80 watts per channel into 8
ohms. The power amplier is designed to drive one pair of
speakers via the sockets on the unit’s rear panel.
1.2 CD Player
UnitiLite • NaimUniti 2
The UnitiLite incorporates a sliding drawer CD transport
while the NaimUniti 2 incorporates a CD transport based
on the same swing-out mechanism used in other Naim CD
players. In both cases the CD player is able to play standard
“Red Book” CDs and CD-R discs. CD track order can be
programmed or tracks can be shued. See Section 6.4 for
more information.
1.3 Multi-mode Radio
UnitiQute 2 • UnitiLite • NaimUniti 2 • SuperUniti
The Uniti Series multi-mode radio combines an internet
radio (iRadio) player and DAB/FM tuner.
A total of 40 radio stations across all three modes can be
stored as presets. In DAB and FM mode, stations are tuned
by scanning the respective transmission bands. In iRadio
mode, a list of available radio stations is automatically
downloaded from a dedicated internet server. iRadio
requires broadband internet access via a home network
connection.

2. Installing and Connecting
Your Uniti Series product 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 nal location before connecting cables or switching on. Uniti Series products have no standby mode and are
intended to be left switched on.
Note: A transit screw on the underside of the NaimUniti 2 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 2 with extra care once the
transit screw is removed.
Connecting your Uniti Series product mains power and to a variety of audio peripherals and sources is described in the
following paragraphs. Diagram 2.11 illustrates the rear panel connection sockets.
2.1 Mains Power Connection
Connect your Uniti Series product to a mains power socket
using either the mains cable supplied or a Naim Power-Line.

on each Uniti Series product. Always use high quality
interconnect cables to connect inputs and outputs.
Note: Post volume control output signals are aected by

are unaected by volume adjustments and must be routed
via a volume control before reaching a power amplier.
