IntroductionNaim Audio products are conceived with performance as the top priority. Careful installationwill help ensure that their full potential is achieved. This manual covers all integratedamplifiers. It begins with some general installation notes. Product specific information beginsin Section 4.1. ConnectionsNote: Please readthe Statutory SafetyWarnings found at theend of this manual.2.1 Mains Plug WiringIn some territories a mains plug may need to be fitted tothe supplied mains lead. As the colours of the wires in themains lead may not correspond with the coloured markingsidentifying the terminals in the plug proceed as follows:It is important for both safety and performance that thestandard cables supplied are not modified.1.1 Interconnect CablesThe wire coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be connectedto the terminal in the plug marked by the letter E or bythe safety earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN andYELLOW.If options are available with your equipment and installation,DIN interconnect sockets should be used in preference toRCA Phono sockets. One end of each Naim interconnectcable is marked with a band to establish its correctorientation. The band denotes the end that connects to thesignal source. Naim Hi-Line interconnect cable will providethe best results.The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminalin the plug marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to theterminal in the plug marked with the letter L or colouredRED.Interconnect plugs and sockets should be kept cleanand free from corrosion. The easiest way to clean themis to switch off the equipment, pull the plugs out of theirsockets, and push them back in again. Contact cleaners and“enhancers” should not be used as the film they deposit maydegrade the sound.2.2 Equipment FusesMains powered Naim Audio equipment is fitted with a mainsfuse on the rear panel adjacent to the mains input socket.Replace it if necessary only with the spare fuse supplied orwith an identical fuse. Repeated failure of the fuse points toa fault that should be investigated by your retailer or Naimitself.1.2 Loudspeaker CablesLoudspeaker cables are vitally important. They shouldeach be at least 3.5 metres long and of equal length. Therecommended maximum is normally 20 metres althoughlonger cables may be viable with some Naim amplifiers.2.3 Non-rewirable Mains PlugsIf a non-rewirable plug is cut from a mains lead (forwhatever purpose) the plug MUST be disposed of in a wayto render it totally useless. Considerable shock hazard existsif the cut-off plug is inserted into a mains outlet.Some Naim amplifiers are designed only to work with Naimloudspeaker cable and using alternatives may degrade theperformance or even damage the amplifier. Other Naimamplifiers can be used with any high quality loudspeakercable although we recommend that Naim loudspeaker cableis used. Naim loudspeaker cable is directional and shouldbe oriented so that the printed arrow points towards thespeakers. The Naim loudspeaker connectors supplied aredesigned to comply with European safety legislation andmust be used.2.4 Mains Circuits and CablesA hi-fi system usually shares a mains circuit with otherhousehold equipment some of which can cause distortionof the mains waveform. This distortion can in turn leadto mechanical hum from mains transformers. Some Naimtransformers are large in size, making them relativelysensitive to such distortion, and it may be necessary to takeaccount of transformer hum when siting your equipment.Contact your local retailer or distributor for further adviceon loudspeaker cables and connectors.2. Mains PowerTransformer hum is not transmitted through the speakersand has no effect on the performance of the system;however, a separate mains circuit may reduce it. Such acircuit (ideally with a 30 or 45 Amp rating) will also generallyimprove system performance. Advice on the installation ofa separate mains circuit should be sought from a qualifiedelectrician.Use only the mains leads and plugs supplied or the NaimPowerLine mains cable.Where fused plugs are used 13 amp fuses should be fitted.Fuses of a lower rating will fail after a period of use. Do notwire voltage dependent resistors or noise suppressors intomains plugs. They degrade the mains supply and the sound.E1
3. General Installation3.5 Lightning PrecautionsNaim equipment is designed to offer the finest performancepossible avoiding compromise wherever practical. This canlead to circumstances that may be unfamiliar. The notes thatfollow contain advice specifically related to Naim equipmentas well as more general warnings about the use of domesticaudio products. Please read them carefully.Your Naim hi-fi system can be damaged by lightning andshould be turned off and disconnected from the mains whenthere is risk of lightning strike. For complete protection allmains plugs and any aerial cables should be disconnectedwhen not in use.3.1 Siting The Equipment3.6 Problems?In order to reduce the risk of hum audible from theloudspeakers, power supplies and power amplifiersshould be located a reasonable distance away fromother equipment. The maximum separation distance forconnected equipment is that allowed by the standardinterconnect lead.Consumer protection varies from country to country. Inmost territories a retailer must be prepared to take backany equipment he has sold if it cannot be made to worksatisfactorily. A problem may be due to a fault in thesystem or its installation so it is essential to make full useof your dealer’s diagnostic skills. Please contact your localdistributor, or Naim Audio directly, if any difficulties cannotbe resolved.Some Naim equipment is extremely heavy. Check theweight of the equipment prior to lifting and if necessary usemore than one person so that it can be moved safely. Ensurethat your equipment rack or table can easily support theweight and is stable.Some Naim equipment is made in special versions fordifferent territories and this makes it impracticable toarrange international guarantees. Please establish the localguarantee arrangements with your retailer. Contact NaimAudio directly for help and advice if necessary.3.2 Switching OnSource components and power supplies should be switchedon before the power amplifiers. Always switch amplifiers offand wait a minute before connecting or disconnecting anyleads. Always use the power switch on the product ratherthan a mains outlet switch.3.7 Service and UpdatesIt is essential that repairs and updates are only carriedout by an authorised Naim retailer or at the factory byNaim itself. Many components are custom made, testedor matched and appropriate replacements are oftenunobtainable from other sources.A “thump” may be heard from the loudspeakers as poweramplifiers are switched on. This is normal, will not causeany loudspeaker damage and does not point to any faultor problem. A mild “pop” may also be heard shortly afterequipment is switched off.Direct contact to Naim for service or update informationshould be made initially through Customer Services:Tel:Email:3.3 Running InNaim equipment takes a considerable time to run in beforeit performs at its best. The duration varies, but under someconditions the sound may continue to improve for over amonth. Better and more consistent performance will beachieved if the system is left switched on for long periods.It is worth remembering however that equipment leftconnected to the mains can be damaged by lightning. 44 (0)1722 426600info@naimaudio.comPlease quote the product serial number (found on its rearpanel) in all correspondence.3.4 Radio InterferenceIn some circumstances, depending on where you liveand the earthing arrangements in your home, you mayexperience radio frequency interference. Controls onbroadcasting in some territories allow very high levels ofradio frequency radiation and both the choice and exactsiting of equipment may be critical. Susceptibility to radiofrequency interference is related to the wide internalbandwidth necessary for high sound quality. A radiofrequency filter kit is available for some Naim equipment butsound quality will be progressively compromised as moreelements of the kit are fitted.E2
4. SUPERNAIT 2The SUPERNAIT 2 is a very high performance stereo integrated amplifier that combines apreamplifier providing six line-level analogue inputs with a power amplifier rated at 80 Wattsper channel. The SUPERNAIT 2 can be controlled by either its remote handset or by front panelmounted volume and balance knobs, and mute and input selection buttons. The SUPERNAIT2 remote handset is described in Section 15 of this manual. A front panel 6.3mm jack socketenables the use of headphones with the SUPERNAIT 2.A variety of power supply upgrade, alternative preamplifier and alternative or additional poweramplifier options are possible for the SUPERNAIT 2. Diagrams illustrating the connection ofsome of these are shown in Section 6. If no power supply or alternative amplifier options are tobe employed, the SUPERNAIT 2 preamp/power amp link plug, supplied in the accessory pack,must be fitted to the rear panel “preamp out” and “power amp in” sockets. The link plug isshown fitted in Diagram 5.2.Your SUPERNAIT 2 should be installed on a dedicated equipment stand intended for thepurpose. Do not stand it directly on top of another item of equipment. Care should be taken toensure that it is level. The amplifier should be installed in its final location before connectingcables or switching on. Ensure that the volume is turned down before switching on.4.1 Mains Power ConnectionNote: The SUPERNAIT2 incorporates an AVBypass switch on its rearpanel. The switch shouldonly be set to “On” if theamplifier is to be usedin conjunction with anAV processor in a hometheatre system. In allother installations theAV Bypass switch shouldbe set to “Off”. Speakerand amplifier damagemay occur if a signal isinadvertently connectedto the SUPERNAIT 2 avinput while the AV Bypassswitch is “On”.results, however, a wide range of speaker cable types canbe used without risk of damage to the amplifier.Connect the SUPERNAIT 2 to a mains power socket usingeither the mains cable supplied or a Naim Power-Line.Ensure when connecting speakers that they are “in phase”.That is, the positive and negative connection orientation atboth the speaker and amplifier ends of the cable is the samefor both channels.4.2 Signal InputsThe SUPERNAIT 2 front panel input buttons select thesource input signal to be routed to the integral poweramplifier and the loudspeakers or headphones. The sixbuttons are labelled cd, tuner, hdd (hard disk drive), av,aux 1 and aux 2.4.4 av and hdd OutputsThe SUPERNAIT 2 av and hdd inputs have associatedoutputs that enable the selected input signal to be routedexternally; to an audio recording component for example.The cd, tuner, hdd and av input buttons correspond toparallel DIN and RCA phono input sockets on the rear panel,while the aux 1 input button corresponds only to a pair ofRCA phono sockets.Note: The av and hdd outputs remain active whiletheir corresponding inputs are selected. Take care thata feedback loop is not inadvertently created by thesimultaneous selection of input and output.Note: The hdd and av sockets carry both inputs andoutputs. See Section 4.4 for more information.4.5 Headphone OutputThe aux 2 input button corresponds to a DIN input socketon the rear panel. The aux 2 DIN socket also carries apower supply output intended to power a Naim Stageline orSuperLine phono preamplifier.The SUPERNAIT 2 headphone output is able to drive mostheadphone types. The 6.3mm (1/4”) jack socket, ratherthan the smaller 3.5mm jack socket, provides more reliableconnection and potentially higher sound quality. Mosthigh-quality headphones are supplied with an adaptor thatenables use with either 3.5mm or 6.3mm sockets. Inserting aheadphone plug will mute the SUPERNAIT 2 speaker outputs.Removing the headphone plug will restore the outputs.Note: For optimum sound quality DIN sockets should beused in preference to RCA phono sockets.Note: Where an input has DIN and phono socket optionsonly one should be connected at any one time.4.6 AV BypassAlways use high quality interconnect cables to connectsources to inputs. The Naim Hi-Line will produce the bestresults.The SUPERNAIT 2 can be integrated within a multi-channelhome theatre system, driving the front left and rightchannel speakers, by engaging its AV Bypass mode. AVBypass mode enables a home theatre processor to take overvolume control of signals connected to the SUPERNAIT 2 avinput. It is engaged using the switch on the rear panel. TheSUPERNAIT 2 volume control indicator will extinguish whenAV Bypass mode is engaged and the av input is selected.The remote handset volume control will also be disabled.4.3 Speaker OutputsA set of stereo speaker connection sockets is provided onthe rear panel. Custom Naim loudspeaker connectors aresupplied to make the connection and in order to complywith current European safety regulations these shouldalways be used. Naim speaker cable will provide the bestE3
SUPERNAIT 2Note: The AV Bypass feature must be used with care. Itbypasses the SUPERNAIT 2 volume control leaving anysignal connected to the av input to be passed to thespeakers at full volume. To return the SUPERNAIT 2 to normal operation, switchit off, replace the link plug and switch it on again.Note: Inserting a headphone plug while AV Bypassmode is selected temporarily returns the SUPERNAIT 2to normal operation. Removing the headphone plug willreturn the SUPERNAIT 2 to AV Bypass mode.The SUPERNAIT 2 preamplifier can be upgraded throughthe connection of an external Flatcap, Hi-Cap or Supercappower supply. The SUPERNAIT 2 and external powersupply must be switched off when connections are made.Switch on the external power supply first followed by theSUPERNAIT 2 when all connections are complete.4.9 Power Supply UpgradesNote: The mute function is disabled when AV Bypassmode is engaged.4.7 Other Signal Inputs and Outputs4.10 General Connections NotesThe SUPERNAIT 2 incorporates DIN bi-amp (output), RCAphono sub out, DIN pre-amp out, and DIN power-amp insockets on its rear panel. In normal use the pre-amp out andpower-amp in sockets are connected by a link plug. The linkplug should be removed only in the following circumstances:The SUPERNAIT 2 negative input and output connections foreach channel are common. The mains earth (ground) shouldalways be connected regardless of what other equipment isused in conjunction with the amplifier. The mains earth onlygrounds the case and the electrostatic screen within thetransformer, and is not connected to the signal negative. Inorder to avoid hum loops, the signal negative of the wholesystem should be connected to the mains earth (ground) inone place. A power supply upgrade is to be used. An alternative preamplifier is to be used with theSUPERNAIT 2 power amplifier. See Section 4.8A signal ground connection is fitted to the SUPERNAIT2 rear panel. This is intended to be used to connect aturntable pick-up arm signal earth only. An alternative power amplifier is to be used with theSUPERNAIT 2 preamplifier.Note: The power amp in socket carries a 24V DC powersupply output intended for Naim preamplifiers thatrequire an external power supply.4.11 External Control and InterfaceThe SUPERNAIT 2 is fitted on its rear panel with a 3.5mmjack Remote In socket and a mini-USB interface socket.The SUPERNAIT 2 DIN bi-amp output socket provides apreamp output signal that enables a second power amplifierto be used in conjunction with the SUPERNAIT 2 poweramplifier.The Remote In socket can be used for RC5 remote controlof the SUPERNAIT 2 via a wired connection or a remote IRrepeater.The RCA phono sub out sockets provide a stereo outputintended for connection to an active subwoofer. The outputsignal is a duplicate of the preamplifier output. No low-passfiltering is applied.The mini-USB socket enables firmware upgrades anddiagnostic tests to be carried out. Contact your Naimretailer for more information if required.Note: The mini-USB interface is not intended for theconnection of USB memory devices.Diagrams 6.1,and 6.2 illustrate some applications of theSUPERNAIT 2 preamp out, power amp in and bi-ampsockets.4.8 Power Amp Mode OperationIf a SUPERNAIT 2 is to be used as a stereo power amp only itmust be configured to operate in power amp mode: With the SUPERNAIT 2 switched off, remove its rearpanel link plug and connect the interconnect cablefrom the preamp or preamp power supply to the poweramp in socket Switch on the SUPERNAIT 2. The mute button willflash to indicate that the link plug has been removed.Press and hold the mute button until it extinguishes.The SUPERNAIT 2 is now in power amp mode.
