Naim preamps User Manual

8

The nac 82 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.

The input selector buttons are arranged along the uppermost bank of buttons. They control which

source is to be routed to the power amplifier and the loudspeakers, for listening. Below them, in the

lower bank, are a corresponding array of buttons which choose the source component to be routed to

the preamplifier’s recording outputs. One component (for example, the record player) can therefore be

listened to whilst the output from another (say, the tuner) can be recorded onto a tape recorder. It is

possible to lock the record controls and prevent accidental de-selection during recording. Record-lock

is switched on or off by depressing the source mono button four times within six seconds.

To the left of each bank of buttons there are two further buttons labelled mute and mono. These work

independently: for example the mute button in the lower (recording) bank does not affect the signal

that is chosen via the upper (source) buttons, and vice versa. Operating the mono button on the

source bank will not affect the record circuits. To select either function press the relevant button once.

To cancel that function press the button again.

Input 1 is a high level input, but can be converted into a phono input by fitting plug in boards. Please

see your dealer for further details.

Inputs 2 and 3 are standard high level inputs.

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.

Please note, an additional separate power supply is required to power the snaxo crossover, i.e. three

hi-caps for a system where two are already employed to power the nac82, or two supercaps where

one is already employed for the preamplifier. For further information please refer to your dealer.

For operation of the nac 82 using the NARCOM 2 remote handset please see pages 18 and 19.

For notes on wiring bnc plugs please see page 7.
