Ensure that all equipment is switched
off before connecting or disconnecting
interconnect cables.
Hi-Line interconnect cables will operate
most effectively when the whole length of
the cable is able to loop from the source
to the destination without intermediate
contact. Attention paid to this aspect of
installation will bring significant gains.
Hi-Line cables are directional. The end
identified by the light coloured band
should be connected to the source
component. The band is located on DIN
cables at the join between cable and plug
(illustrated below), and on RCA-Phono
cables at the join between the inner cores
and outer sleeve.
Naim Audio products are conceived with performance as the top priority. Careful
installation will help ensure that their full potential is achieved. This manual covers the
Hi-Line interconnect cable.
Introduction
1.1 Air-PLUG DIN Termination s
DIN Hi-Line terminations are by AirPLUG connectors. Air-PLUG design and
construction offers vibrational energy
dissipation and mechanical decoupling in
order to minimise the transfer of energy to
and from connected equipment.
The Air-PLUG “floating-pin” construction can
make connection more difficult than with a
conventional DIN plug as each connection
pin must align with its socket. Take great
care when inserting Air-PLUGs that the pins
are aligned correctly. If the plug does not
insert cleanly do not use force but adjust
the alignment slightly and try again.
The flexible Air-PLUG tail section can be
damaged by inappropriate handling. Grip
Air-PLUG only by its metal and opposing
plastic body parts - rather than by its tail.
