1  COAX 1-2, OPT 1-2

• 

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. 

NOTE

 

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 
corresp12V 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 
corresp12V 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.

5  RS 232

NAD is a certified partner of AMX and Crestron and fully supports 
these external devices. Check out the NAD website for information 
about AMX and Crestron compatibility with NAD. See your NAD audio 
specialist for more information.

• 

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.

6 SPEAKERS

• 

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.

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.
