1 Equipment Installation; Connections; Mains Power Connection - NAIM i-Supply Owner's Manual

Introduction
Naim Audio products are conceived
with performance as the top priority.
Careful installation will help ensure
that their full potential is achieved.
This manual covers the NAPSC and
i-Supply power supplies, Headline
headphone amplifier and Stageline
phono amplifier. It begins with general
installation notes and statutory safety
warnings. Product specific information
begins in Section 5.

1 Equipment Installation

Normally your Naim Audio equipment
will have been installed by the dealer
who sold it to you - even if you live
outside their immediate vicinity. In
any event however your dealer is
responsible for making sure that
the system performs as it should.
Information given here is not intended
to reduce this responsibility in any way.

2 Connections

It is important for both safety and
performance that the standard cables
supplied are not modified.
2.1 Interconnect Cables
If options are available with your equipment
and installation, DIN interconnect sockets
should be used in preference to RCA Phono
sockets. One end of each Naim interconnect
cable is marked with a band to establish its
correct orientation. The band denotes the
end that connects to the signal source.
Interconnect plugs and sockets should be
kept clean and free from corrosion. The
easiest way to clean them is to switch off
the equipment, pull the plugs out of their
sockets, and push them back in again.
Contact cleaners and "enhancers" should
not be used as the film they tend to deposit
may degrade the sound.

3 Mains Power Connection

Where fused plugs are used 13 amp
fuses should be fitted. Fuses of a lower
rating will fail after a period of use. Do
not wire voltage dependent resistors
or noise suppressors into mains plugs.
They degrade the mains supply and the
sound.
3.1 Mains Plug Wiring
In some territories a mains plug may
need to be fitted to the supplied mains
lead. As the colours of the wires in
the mains lead may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in the plug proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured
must be connected to the terminal
YELLOW
in the plug which is marked by the letter
or by the safety earth symbol or coloured
or
GREEN GREEN and YELLOW
The wire which is coloured
connected to the terminal in the plug which
is marked with the letter
.
BLACK
The wire which is coloured
connected to the terminal in the plug which
is marked with the letter
3.2 Non-rewirable Mains Plugs
If a non-rewirable plug is cut from a mains
lead (for whatever purpose) the plug
be disposed of in a way to render it totally
useless. Considerable shock hazard exists
if the cut-off plug is inserted into a mains
outlet.
