5. General Installation
Naim equipment is designed to offer the finest performance possible avoiding
compromise wherever practical. This can lead to circumstances that may be
unfamiliar. The notes that follow contain advice specifically related to Naim
equipment as well as more general warnings about the use of domestic audio
products. Please read them carefully.
5.1 Sitting The Equipment
In order to reduce the risk of hum audible from the loudspeakers, power
supplies and power amplifiers should be located a reasonable distance
away from other equipment. The maximum separation distance for
connected equipment is that allowed by the standard interconnect lead.
Some Naim equipment is extremely heavy. Check the weight of the
equipment prior to lifting and if necessary use more than one person so
that it can be moved safely. Ensure that your equipment rack or table can
easily support the weight and is stable.
5.2 Switching On
Source components and power supplies should be switched on before the
power amplifiers. Always switch amplifiers off and wait a minute before
connecting or disconnecting any leads. Always use standby button on the
product rather than a mains outlet switch.
5.3 Running In
Naim equipment takes a considerable time to run in before it performs at its
best. The duration varies, but under some conditions the sound may continue
to improve for over a month. Better and more consistent performance will be
achieved if the system is left switched on for long periods.
5.4 Radio Interference
In some circumstances, depending on where you live and the earthing
arrangements in your home, you may experience radio frequency
interference. Controls on broadcasting in some territories allow very high
levels of radio frequency radiation and both the choice and exact siting of
equipment may be critical. Susceptibility to radio frequency interference is
related to the wide internal bandwidth necessary for high sound quality.
5.5 Lightning Precautions
Your Naim hi-fi system can be damaged by lightning and should be turned
off and disconnected from the mains when there is risk of lightning strike.
For complete protection all mains plugs and any aerial cables should be
disconnected when not in use.
