Connect to the corresponding optical or coaxial digital output of
sources such as CD or BD/DVD players, digital cable box, digital
tuners and other applicable components.
2 COAXIAL OUT, OPTICAL OUT,
• Connect the optical or coaxial DIGITAL OUT to a corresponding
digital audio input of compatible devices such as receivers,
computer soundcards or other digital processors.

Only digital sources can be streamed through COAXIAL/OPTICAL
DIGITAL OUT.
3 +12V TRIGGER
+12V TRIGGER OUT
The +12V TRIGGER OUT is used for controlling external equipment
equipped with a +12V trigger input.
• Connect this +12V TRIGGER OUT to the other equipment's
corresponding +12V DC input jack using a mono cable with 3.5mm
male plug.
•
This output will be 12V when the M32 is ON and 0V when it is either
OFF or in standby mode.
+12V TRIGGER IN
With this input triggered by a 12V DC supply, the M32 can be switched
ON remotely from Standby Mode by compatible devices such as
amplifiers, preamplifiers, receivers, etc. If the 12V DC supply is cut off,
the M32 will return to standby mode.
•
Connect this +12V Trigger input to the remote device's
corresponding +12V DC output jack using a mono cable with
3.5mm male plug. The controlling device must be equipped with a
+12V trigger output to use this feature.
4 IR IN
•
This input is connected to the output of an IR (infrared) repeater
(Xantech or similar) or the IR output of another component to allow
control of the M32 from a remote location.

6 SPEAKERS
•
•
•
BI-WIRING
Most high quality loudspeakers offer the option of Bi-wiring. This
separates the High Frequency (HF) crossover from the Low Frequency
(LF) crossover. This offers enhanced performance by preventing LF
returned currents from affecting the HF performance. To bi-wire,
remove the "links" at the loudspeaker that connect the LF and HF
sections (these are provided for convenience when a single wire
connection is used).
NOTES
• Use 16 gauge (American Wire Gauge or AWG) or lower stranded wire.
Connections to the M32 can be made with banana-type plugs.
• Bare wire or pins can also be used by loosening the terminal's plastic
nut, making a clean, neat connection and re-tightening. To minimize
the danger of a short circuit, ensure that only 1/2-inch of exposed wire
or pin is used to connect and no loose strands of speaker wire.

Connect this interface using RS-232 serial cable (not supplied) to
any Windows compatible PC to allow remote control of the M32 via
compatible external controllers.
Refer to the NAD website for information about RS232 Protocol
documents and PC interface program.
The M32 has two sets of SPEAKER connections which are identical
in function (parallel connection). They allow for bi-wiring.
Connect M32's Right speaker terminals marked "R +" and "R-" to
the corresponding "+" and "-" terminals of your designated right
speaker. Repeat the same for M32's Left speaker terminals and
corresponding left speaker.
Double check the speaker connections before powering up the
M32.
