Naim NAC 202 Pre-Amplifier (Pre-Owned) - Product Description
The Naim NAC 202 combines first-class sound quality with flexibility, style and excellent value.
Significant
improvements in technology led to an entirely new range using new high
quality star-earthed circuit boards, combining the classic Naim values
of musicality and power with flexibility and value.
The Naim NAC
202 may either be powered by a NAP 150 or NAP 200 amplifier or
significantly upgraded by adding Naim power supplies to independently
feed the analogue audio and digital control circuits.
Low-resonance
circuit boards and anti-vibration, resonance controlling feet minimize
the effect of microphonic vibration on the highly sensitive electronic
components.
Carefully matched precision rotary potentiometers
with precious metal wipers are used to ensure long-term stability and
preserve musical integrity. The intelligent balance control combines a
high quality motorised potentiometer for the best performance with
intelligent circuitry to indicate the centre position.
The NAC
202 features a silent microprocessor that sleeps during listening and
controls all aspects of the amplifier including: optical protection
circuits that continuously monitor the power supplies ensuring safe shut
down in the event of a power cut; user-configurable 'Smart IR' remote
control for simple easy and control of the naim system
The six
inputs on the Naim NAC 202 can be selected directly from either the
front panel or the NARCOM system remote. In addition to the usual DIN
plug inputs, preferred for their superior earthing and impedance
matching, two of the inputs can be configured for use with the more
common RCA phono connectors, allowing a wide range of non-Naim cables
and components to be used. A dedicated unity-gain input is also provided
for use with the Naim AV2 processor or similar.
Six line-level inputs including two user-configurable versatile (DIN / phono) inputs. User configurable unity-gain AV inputPowered input for use with Stageline or Prefix phono stage. Full infrared remote control. RC5 input for wired remote control in complex installations.Optional RS232 input / output for use in full home automation systems.Upgradeable with both analogue (Hi-Cap, Super-Cap) and digital (NAPSC) power supplies.
