NaimUniti 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 final location before
connecting cables or switching on. NaimUniti has no standby mode and is intended to be
left switched on.
A transit screw on the underside of the NaimUniti 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 with extra care once the transit screw is removed.
Connecting NaimUniti to mains power and to a variety of audio peripherals and sources
is described in the following paragraphs. Diagram 2.1 illustrates the NaimUniti rear panel
connection sockets.

In order to enable high quality FM and DAB radio,
NaimUniti requires a strong, interference-free radio signal.
Its rear panel FM/DAB Aerial socket must be connected,
via 75 Ohm low-loss coaxial cable, to a suitable aerial. The
aerial should be mounted clear of large obstructions and
as high as possible; ideally on a roof.
Note: Your local retailer should be able to offer advice on
a suitable aerial and aerial installer.

a variety of socket types. The following table lists the inputs
and their socket types:

Note: The Phono DIN socket carries a power supply output
intended to power a Naim phono preamplifier. A turntable
cannot be used with NaimUniti without an external phono
preamplifier.
Note:
The front panel analogue/digital jack socket can
accept both conventional analogue 3.5mm plugs and
mini-TosLink optical digital plugs. It will automatically
identify the type of plug inserted and handle the signal
appropriately.
Always use high quality interconnect cables to connect
sources to NaimUniti inputs.
