Installing and Connecting
1.1 Stand your NaimUniti 2 on an appropriate, stable surface. Make sure it is
well ventilated.

appropriate for your country. Connect to the mains using the supplied cable
but do not switch on until all other connections have been made.
1.3 Identify the rear panel Signal Ground Switch and select the chassis option
unless your NaimUniti 2 is connected in a hi-fi system incorporating another
earthed source component (all Naim CD players, for example), or mains hum is
audible through the speakers when it is switched on.
1.4 Connect the speakers to the NaimUniti 2 speaker sockets. Ensure that the
positive and negative orientation at both ends of the cable is the same for
both channels. Your Naim retailer will be able to supply appropriate speaker
cables if required.
1.5 In order to use the DAB/FM tuner a suitable aerial must be connected to
the DAB/FM aerial socket.
1.6 If a subwoofer or external power amplifier is to be used, connect its
signal cable to the NaimUniti 2 subwoofer or preamp output sockets. Your Naim
retailer will be able to supply an appropriate cable if required.
1.7 To play audio from internet radio stations, UPnP™ servers, Spotify®
Connect, or other Naim streamer units the NaimUniti 2 must be connected to the
internet via a network router. Either connect the NaimUniti 2 network socket
to your network router using an Ethernet cable, or connect the supplied Wi-Fi
antenna to the rear panel Wi-Fi aerial socket.
1.8 For NaimUniti 2 to play audio from Bluetooth ®streaming devices, the
supplied Bluetooth antenna must be attached to the rear panel Bluetooth aerial

1.9 If your NaimUniti 2 is to play audio files stored on a USB storage device,
such as an iOS device or a memory stick, connect it, using an appropriate
cable if necessary, to the front panel USB socket.
1.10 If any external audio sources are to be used with your NaimUniti 2,
connect them using the appropriate cables to one or more of the rear panel
analogue or digital inputs. If a Naim phono preamplifier is to be used,
connect it using its cable supplied to the NaimUniti 2 phono input.
Switching On and Getting Started
2.1 Once all connections have been made, switch on your NaimUniti 2 using its
rear panel on/off switch. The NaimUniti 2 will display a welcome screen and
