User manual NAIM ACTIVE

[. . . ] It is essential that these are used in order to comply with current European safety regulations. All the plugs and sockets supplied with your Naim equipment have been chosen because they make the best possible connection for their purpose. A poor contact will degrade the signal substantially and plugs and sockets should look clean and free from corrosion. The easiest way to clean them is to switch off the equipment, pull the plugs out of their sockets, and push them back in again. [. . . ] The minimum recommended distance is 300mm (12 inches), and that allowed by the standard interconnect lead is the maximum. Ensure than your equipment rack or table can easily support the weight and is stable. 2. 5 if you have a problem Legal consumer protection varies from country to country. In most territories a dealer must be prepared to take back any Naim equipment he has sold you if he cannot make it work to your satisfaction in your own home. A problem may be due to a fault in any part of the system or its installation so it is essential to make full use of your local dealer's diagnostic skills on site. Please contact your local distributor, or Naim at the address in the back of this manual, if any difficulties cannot be resolved. Some Naim equipment is made in special versions for different territories and this makes it impracticable to arrange international guarantees. Please establish the guarantee arrangements with your own dealer at the time of sale. It is essential that repairs and updates are only carried out by an authorised Naim dealer, or at the factory by Naim itself. Many components are made, tested or matched specially for Naim and appropriate replacements are often unobtainable from non-specialist sources. 2 3. 0 Warnings Naim equipment is designed to offer the finest sound quality that can be achieved, avoiding compromise wherever possible. The material that follows contains advice specifically related to Naim equipment as well as more general warnings about the use of domestic audio products. The transformers in Naim power amplifiers and power supplies may sometimes make a mechanical noise caused by distortion of the mains waveform. Naim transformers are large in size and have heavy gauge secondary windings making them relatively sensitive to such distortion. A separate mains circuit for your hi-fi system may reduce the effect while also giving an overall improvement in sound quality. It may be necessary however to take account of mechanical transformer noise when siting your equipment. 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. If there is a known problem in your locality it is advisable to arrange for a home demonstration before purchase to find out if Naim equipment is likely to be affected. Susceptibility to radio frequency interference is related to the wide internal bandwidth necessary for high sound quality. Systems incorporating moving coil phono preamplifiers and active crossovers are more likely to suffer. A radio frequency filter kit is available for some Naim equipment but sound quality will be progressively compromised as more elements of the kit are fitted. In situations of extreme radio interference Naim equipment may be unsuitable. Power amplifiers are particularly at risk and should be turned off when there is risk of lightning strike.
