7 POWER

• 

The POWER switch supplies the master AC mains power for the 
M32. 

• 

When the POWER switch is set to ON position, the M32 goes to standby 
mode as shown by the amber status condition of the front panel Power 
indicator. Press the front panel Standby button or HTRM 2’s remote 
control’s [ON] button to switch ON the M32 from standby mode.

• 

If you do not intend to use the M32 for long periods of time (such 
as when on vacation), switch off the POWER switch.

• 

With POWER switched off, neither the front panel Standby button 
nor HTRM 2 remote control’s [ON] button can activate the M32.

8  DIGITAL AES/EBU

• 

Connect SACD/CD Players or processors to this XLR connector for 
digital audio streaming.

• 

High-end sources with higher sampling rates (176kHz and 192kHz) 
should be connected to the AES/EBU IN connector.  

9 COMPUTER 

• 

Use a Type A to Type B cable connector (not supplied), to interface 
computer audio to this asynchronous Type B USB input to directly 
stream 24/96 PCM content from your PC or MAC. 

• 

The Type A-style connector is a flat, rectangular interface.

• 

The Type B-style interface is square in shape and has beveled 
corners on the top ends of the connector.

• 

Refer to LISTENING TO COMPUTER in the OTHER FEATURES section 
on the OPERATION page.

10 SERVICE

Use for servicing purposes only. Not for consumer use.

11 INPUT

PHONO:

 Input for a Moving Magnet (MM) phono cartridge. Connect 

the twin RCA lead from your turntable to this input if you are using a 
Moving Magnet cartridge.

LINE1, LINE 2:

 Input for line level sources such as CD player, tuner or 

any compatible devices. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the 
source device’s left and right “Audio Output” to this input.

12  OUTPUT (PRE-OUT/SUBW)

• 

These output terminals have dual function. They are used either as 
PRE-OUT or SUBWOOFER terminals.

• 

The M32 and associated external devices must be turned OFF always 
before connecting or disconnecting anything to the OUTPUT sockets.

IMPORTANT

 

Set the “Sub Output” option under “Speaker Setup” settings to “ON” for 
the OUTPUT terminals to function as Subwoofer out. On the other hand, 
the OUTPUT terminals will function as PRE-OUT if the “Sub Output” 
option is set to “OFF”. 

PRE-OUT

• 

The PRE OUT/SUBW sockets make it possible for the M32 to be used 
as a full range preamplifier to an external power amplifier. 

• 

Use a dual RCA cable to connect PRE-OUT/SUBW to the 
corresponding analog audio input of compatible devices such as 
amplifiers, receivers or other applicable devices.

• 

PRE-OUT/SUBW will be affected by the M32’s volume control 
settings. Turn the VOLUME control to adjust the output level of the 
PRE OUT/SUBW sockets. 

SUBWOOFER

• 

Use a dual RCA cable to connect PRE OUT/SUBW to the low level 
input of a powered subwoofer.

• 

Low frequency information up to 200Hz is sent to the connected 
subwoofer via PRE OUT/SUBW.

13  AC MAINS INPUT 

• 

The M32 comes supplied with two separate mains power cords. 
Select the mains power cord appropriate for your region.

• 

Before connecting the plug to the mains power source, ensure that 
it is firmly connected to the M32’s AC Mains input socket. 

• 

Always disconnect the mains power plug from the mains power 
source before disconnecting the cable from the M32’s AC Mains 
input socket.

14  FUSE HOLDER 

• 

Only qualified NAD service technicians can have access to this fuse 
holder.  Opening this fuse holder may cause damage thus voiding 
the warranty of your M32.

15  GROUND TERMINAL

• 

Ensure that the M32 is plugged-in to a grounded AC wall outlet. 

• 

If necessary, use this ground terminal to connect to ground a 
phono or turntable source for PHONO input. 

• 

If a separate earth ground is necessary, use this terminal to ground 
your M32. The M32 can be connected to ground by connecting a 
ground lead wire or similar to this terminal. After insertion, tighten 
the terminal to secure the lead.

NOTES

•  The above illustration shows the M32 being connected to ground via 

a metal water pipe. There maybe other grounding conductor points 
in your home. Consult with a licensed electrician to locate or install 
a grounding conductor in your home. NAD is not responsible for 
any malfunction, damage or costs associated with the installation, 
connection, or grounding of your M32. 

•  The grounding wire is not supplied with your M32.
