nac 82 operation
power supplies
The nac 82 does not incorporate an internal power supply. It must be used in conjunction with either
a naim power amplifier incorporating a preamp power supply or with a supercap, hi-cap or flatcap 2
power supply.
listening and recording
The input selector buttons are arranged along the uppermost bank of buttons. They control which
source is to be routed to the power amplifier and the loudspeakers, for listening. Below them, in the
lower bank, are a corresponding array of buttons which choose the source component to be routed to
the preamplifier’s recording outputs. One component (for example, the record player) can therefore be
listened to whilst the output from another (say, the tuner) can be recorded onto a tape recorder. It is
possible to lock the record controls and prevent accidental de-selection during recording. Record-lock
is switched on or off by depressing the
source
mono button four times within six seconds.
mute and mono facilities
To the left of each bank of buttons there are two further buttons labelled mute and mono. These work
independently: for example the mute button in the lower (recording) bank does not affect the signal
that is chosen via the upper (source) buttons, and vice versa. Operating the mono button on the
source bank will not affect the record circuits. To select either function press the relevant button once.
To cancel that function press the button again.
preamplifier inputs
Input 1
is a high level input, but can be converted into a phono input by fitting plug in boards. Please
see your dealer for further details.
Inputs 2
and
3
are standard high level inputs.
Inputs 4, 5
and
6
are standard high level inputs and also have record output facilities, so these should
be assigned to your tape recorder, cassette deck or VCR.
connecting to an active system
Please note, an additional separate power supply is required to power the snaxo crossover, i.e. three
hi-caps for a system where two are already employed to power the nac82, or two supercaps where
one is already employed for the preamplifier. For further information please refer to your dealer.
remote control
