NAC-N preamplifiers can be operated using either the supplied remote control handset, their front panel buttons or via the
Naim iOS and Android app. Setting up and operating NAC-N preamplifiers using the remote handset or front panel controls
involves navigation through a menu-based user interface. The general principles of the interface are the same for all NAC-N
preamplifier components and this section of the manual begins by illustrating those general principles using front panel
controls.
Note: NAC-N preamplifier front panel logos are touch sensitive and provide mute functions.
