Naim preamps User Manual

1 2

The nac 102 does not incorporate an internal power supply. It must be used in conjunction with either

a naim power amplifier incorporating a preamp power supply or with a supercap, hi-cap or flatcap 2

power supply.

Inputs 1a, 2 and 3 are standard high level inputs.

Alternatively, input1 can be converted into a phono input. A simple modification enables a range of

plug in boards to be fitted. Connection is then made via the BNC sockets (1b). Please see your dealer

for further details.

Inputs 4, 5 and 6 are standard high level inputs and also have record output facilities, so these should

be assigned to your tape recorder, cassette deck or VCR.

The tape monitor button (mon) allows you to listen to the output of a tape recorder while recording,

which can be useful with a 3-head tape machine to monitor the “off-tape” signal. The source for

recording is chosen by the input selector buttons.

Operating the monitor button during recording allows the output from the tape machine connected

to input 4 to be heard, unless input 4 is chosen on the input selector switch, i.e. for tape to tape

recording, in which case the output of the tape machine connected to input 5 will be heard. No

monitor facility is available on input 6.

With the mute button selected there will be no output to the loudspeakers, from any input. This will

not affect any recordings taking place at the same time.

For operation of the nac 102 with the NARCOM 2 remote handset please see pages 18 and 19.

Note: As there is no mono facility available on the nac102, the “mono” facility on the remote handset

operates the tape monitor circuit.

For notes on wiring bnc plugs please see page 7.
