cannot be used with NaimUniti without an external phono
preamplifier.

2 NaimUniti Installation and Connection
NaimUniti should be installed on an equipment stand intended for the purpose. Do not
stand it directly on top of another item of equipment and ensure it is well ventilated. Care
should be taken to ensure that it is level. It should be installed in its final location before
connecting cables or switching on.
A transit screw on the underside of the NaimUniti case should be removed before use and
replaced if the unit is to be moved. This transit screw must not be used in any other Naim
product. Handle NaimUniti with extra care once the transit screw is removed.
Connecting NaimUniti to mains power and to a variety of audio peripherals and sources
is described in the following paragraphs. Diagram 2.1 illustrates the NaimUniti rear panel
connection sockets.
