2. Installing and Connecting
Your Uniti Series product 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 nal location before connecting cables or switching on. Uniti Series products have no standby mode and are
intended to be left switched on.
Note: A transit screw on the underside of the NaimUniti 2 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 2 with extra care once the
transit screw is removed.
Connecting your Uniti Series product mains power and to a variety of audio peripherals and sources is described in the
following paragraphs. Diagram 2.11 illustrates the rear panel connection sockets.
2.1 Mains Power Connection
Connect your Uniti Series product to a mains power socket
using either the mains cable supplied or a Naim Power-Line.
2.2 Audio Signal Connections
Table 2.2.1 lists the audio inputs and outputs provided
on each Uniti Series product. Always use high quality
interconnect cables to connect inputs and outputs.
Note: Post volume control output signals are aected by
volume adjustments. Pre volume control output signals
are unaected by volume adjustments and must be routed
via a volume control before reaching a power amplier.

Note: The Uniti Series front analogue/digital jack input socket can accommodate both conventional analogue 3.5mm
plugs and mini-TosLink optical digital plugs. It will automatically identify the type of plug inserted and handle the signal
appropriately.
Note: Uniti Series preamplier outputs are intended for connection to an upgrade or second power amplier, or a
subwoofer. The preamplier output is taken after the volume and balance controls so a power amplier or subwoofer(s)
connected to it will respond to volume and balance changes. The preamplier output always reects the selected input.
The NaimUniti 2 subwoofer output comprises two, post volume control, mono, RCA phono sockets. The SuperUniti
subwoofer output comprises one, post volume control, stereo pair of RCA phono sockets. Your local Naim retailer will be
able to supply appropriate cables for power amplier or subwoofer connection if necessary.

2. Installing and Connecting
2.3 Speaker Outputs
A set of stereo speaker connection sockets is provided
on your Uniti Series product rear panel. Custom Naim
Audio loudspeaker connectors are supplied to make the
connection, and in order to comply with current European
safety regulations these should always be used. Naim Audio
speaker cable will provide the best results, however, a range
of speaker cable types may be used without risk. Contact
your local Naim retailer for further advice. Use equal lengths
of speaker cable for each channel.
Ensure when connecting speakers that they are “in phase”.
That is, the positive and negative connection orientation at
both the speaker and amplier ends of the cable is the same
for both channels.
2.4 Headphone Output
Uniti Series products are tted on their front panels with a
stereo headphone socket. Insertion of a headphone plug will
mute the speaker outputs.
Note: Uniti Series products control and store volume
settings separately for headphones and speakers.
2.5 DAB/FM Aerial Connection
The Uniti Series DAB/FM tuner module requires a strong,
interference-free signal to enable high quality FM and
DAB reproduction. The rear panel DAB/FM Aerial socket
should be connected, via 75 ohm low-loss coaxial cable, to a
suitable aerial. The aerial should be mounted clear of large
obstructions and as high as possible; ideally on a roof.
Note: Your local retailer should be able to oer advice on
a suitable aerial and aerial installer.
2.6 Signal Ground Switch
Your Uniti Series product is tted on its rear panel with a
Signal Ground switch oering two positions: Chassis or
Floating. Select the Chassis position unless your Uniti Series
product is connected in a hi- system incorporating another
earthed source component, or mains “hum” is audible
through the loudspeakers. Contact your retailer, distributor
or Naim for advice if necessary.
Note: “Connected” in the context above means an
analogue audio signal cable that includes an earth
connection.
Note: All Naim CD players are earthed so the Signal
Ground switch should be set to oating if one is
connected in the system.
No damage will be done if the wrong Signal Ground position
is chosen, however the system sound quality may be
compromised.
Note: Uniti Series analogue input and output negative
connections for each channel are common. The mains
earth (ground) should always be connected regardless of
what other equipment is used. The mains earth primarily
grounds the case and the electrostatic screen within the
transformer, and is only connected to the signal negative
if the Signal Ground switch is set to Chassis. In order to
avoid hum loops, the signal negative of the whole system
should be connected to the mains earth in one place only.
2.7 USB Interface
Uniti Series products are tted with a front panel USB
interface intended for the connection of USB memory sticks
carrying audio les. The USB interface should not be used
for any other purpose.
Note: Most UMS (Universal Mass Storage) USB memory
sticks are compatible with the Uniti Series USB audio
interfaces. Other UMS devices might include portable
digital music players, smart-phones, tablet computers
and memory card readers. Non-UMS USB devices, such
as older MP3 players, may be connected to a Uniti Series
product analogue audio input from their headphone
sockets. See Section 8 for more information.
2.8 Network Connections
2.8.1 Wired Network Connection
Uniti Series products are tted on their rear panels with a
standard RJ45 Ethernet socket. This socket enables them to
join home networks via a network router to access internet
radio streams, to play audio les stored on UPnP™ servers,
to play Spotify® Connect and TIDAL streams, and to play
from or broadcast to other Naim streamers on the same
network.
Note: Ethernet-over-mains hardware may be used and
provides a simple and convenient method of wired home
network connection. However, depending on mains wiring
factors specic to each home environment, the presence
of network data on the mains supply may compromise
overall system sound quality. If any sound quality
compromise is found to be unacceptable, dedicated
network cabling should be installed as the preferred
option, or alternatively wireless networking can be
employed.
5
2. Installing and Connecting
2.8.2 Wireless Network Connection
If your Uniti Series product is to connect wirelessly to the
home network, the supplied Wi-Fi aerial must be tted to
the rear panel Wi-Fi aerial socket. Wireless conguration
will also be necessary before network connection can be
made. See Section 4.7.1.
Note: The Wi-Fi aerial is the longer of the two supplied.
2.8.3 Network Settings
Uniti Series products are set up when originally shipped not
to require any on-site network conguration but to connect
to networks automatically (DHCP is used by default).
However, if your Uniti Series product has been previously
used, its network conguration may have been altered
leaving it unable to connect automatically. If this appears
to be the case ensure that DHCP is selected in the Network
Settings menu and re-start the unit. If the problem still
persists carry out a Factory Reset operation (by selecting
Reset All Settings from the Factory Settings setup menu)
and try again.
Note: Wireless conguration data and user radio presets
will be deleted during the Factory Reset operation.
2.9 Bluetooth
Uniti Series products are able to play Bluetooth audio
streams from Bluetooth capable devices incorporating
an appropriate audio playback app. The Bluetooth aerial
supplied must be tted to the rear panel Bluetooth aerial
socket.
Note: The Bluetooth aerial is the shorter of the two
supplied.
2.10 Control and Update Sockets
Uniti Series products are tted on their rear panels with a
variety of rear panel control and update interface sockets.
• Remote In and Out sockets can be used for RC5 remote
control via a wired connection or a remote IR repeater.
• Mini-USB sockets enable rmware upgrades and
diagnostic tests to be carried out. Contact your Naim
retailer for more information if required.
Note: The mini-USB interface is not intended for the
connection of USB memory devices.

3. Operation and Control
3.8 The Naim App
The Naim app comprises pages dedicated to each streaming
source and input, and pages dedicated to setup. The Naim
app is intuitive in use and its capabilities and principles
are best learned by using it to congure your Uniti Series
product to suit your needs. To begin using the Naim app
follow the steps below:
• Download and install the Naim app on your iOS or
Android device.
• Ensure that the iOS or Android device is connected
to the same network as your Uniti Series product and
open the Naim app.
• From the Rooms menu select the Naim streaming
product you wish to control with the Naim app. The
diagram below illustrates selection of a UnitiQute 2
from the Naim app setup page.
Note: If there are multiple Naim streaming products
connected to your network they will be listed for selection
on the Naim app rooms screen. The correct unit can be
identied either by its product name or, in the case of
multiple identical products, by the rst four characters of
each unit’s MAC address appended to its product name.
The individual MAC address is listed in the unit’s front
panel Setup menu under Network Settings.
Naim app Rooms
Note: The Naim app Settings menu enables streamer
default names to be changed. Designating each one with a
name that reects their location will help make multiroom
control more satisfying and intuitive.
3.8.1 Selecting Inputs from the Naim app
With the desired Uniti Series product selected, the Naim
app Input icons will congure to reect the inputs available.
Tap the Input icon (which will display the current or default
input) and then select the required input. The diagram
below illustrates the Naim home page and Input icons.
Note: Only one instance of the Naim app can be
connected to a single Uniti Series product at any time.
If a streaming source such as Spotify® is selected
automatically by the presence of a stream, the Naim app
display will switch to the appropriate streaming source page
and oer the controls available to that stream type. If an
alternative source is selected, the stream playback will stop
and the Uniti Series product will disconnect from the stream
source.

Note: As with any wireless network hardware, connection
reliability will be aected by both network router
performance and Wi-Fi signal quality. To minimise the
possibility of poor connection reliability, Uniti Series
products should be connected to network audio sources
by no more than one wireless “leg”. Other “legs” necessary
between a Uniti Series product and the network audio
sources should be wired.

5. Uniti Series Amplifier
Uniti Series products incorporate a high performance integrated preamplier and power amplier based on established Naim
design principles. Using the amplier is simply a matter of selecting the desired input or stream and setting the listening
volume level.
5.1 Selecting Inputs
Inputs can be selected by pressing the front panel input
button (not UnitiQute 2), the handset up (5) and down (6)
keys or one of the handset input selection keys.
Note: The front panel input is automatically selected as
soon as a plug is inserted.
Note: The multiroom, Spotify® and Bluetooth inputs may
be selected remotely by the action of a remote Naim
streamer or the receipt of a Spotify® or Bluetooth stream.
Note: These are the default input names. They may
be altered within the setup menus. See Section 4.3.
Inputs can also be disabled so that they are hidden from
selection.
Pressing one of the handset input selection keys either
directly selects a single input or scrolls through a group of
inputs. For example, pressing the radio input selection key
scrolls through a group comprising the FM, DAB and iRadio
inputs.
Note: The default input selection key assignments may be
altered within the set up menus. See Section 4.11.2.
Note: In list or setup modes front panel volume control is
disabled on the UnitiLite and NaimUniti 2. Volume can still
be controlled using the handset volume keys.
The mute function silences the speaker, headphone,
subwoofer and preamplier outputs and is selected or
deselected by pressing the front panel mute button or
handset mute key, or by selecting the mute function in the
Naim app. On the UnitiQute 2 and SuperUniti mute can be
engaged or disengaged by touching the front panel Naim
logo. Mute is indicated by the display volume icon ashing.
5.3 Amplifier Display
In normal operation the front panel display primarily shows
information relating to the selected input. It will change
temporarily to show amplier adjustments such as volume
level and signal mute state as these are made.
5.4 Signal Outputs
In addition to speaker outputs Uniti Series ampliers can
provide preamplier outputs, subwoofer outputs, line
outputs and headphone outputs. Section 2.2.1 lists the
outputs tted to each Uniti Series model.
Selecting an input will route its audio signal via the power
amplier to the speaker outputs.
The front panel display will momentarily show input names
as they are selected before displaying input specic
information; CD track or radio preset for example.
If an input is not operational (for example, no USB memory
stick is attached) when selected, an alert message will
display.
5.2 Volume Control
Volume is controlled using either the front-panel controls
(SuperUniti: rotary knob; NaimUniti 2 and UnitiLite: buttons;
UnitiQute 2: touch-sensitive logo), the handset keys or the
Naim app. Volume control aects the speaker, headphone,
subwoofer and preamplier outputs.
Note: UnitiQute 2 logo volume control operates on brief
and extended touches. Touch the logo briey to mute or
un-mute. An extended touch will decrease the volume.
Releae the logo when the desired volume is attained. To
increase volume touch the logo until the volume indication
appears in the display then release and immediately touch
the logo again.
Uniti Series preamplier outputs are designed to enable an
upgrade or additional Naim Audio power amplier to be
connected.
The Uniti Series headphone amplier is able to drive most
commonly available headphones. Insertion of a headphone
plug will mute the speaker, preamplier and subwoofer
outputs.
5.5 Amplifier Fault Warnings
In the unlikely event that a Uniti Series power amplier
is overloaded, exceeds its normal operating temperature
or malfunctions, its output will mute and the front panel
display will show a warning message.

10. Uniti Series Bluetooth Streaming
In addition to playing streamed audio via a local network,
Uniti Series products can play audio over a Bluetooth
wireless connection from appropriately equipped playback
devices. Uniti Series products are congured by default to
require a secure Bluetooth connection so must be paired
with specic playback devices.
Note: Pairing between Bluetooth devices means that the
devices “know” and “remember” each other. Once paired,
Bluetooth devices can connect automatically when within
range.
Note: Bluetooth wireless connections have a relatively
limited range. A maximum of around 10 metres is typical
in domestic environments, however physical obstructions
in the transmission path may result in reduced range.
To pair a Uniti Series product with a Bluetooth audio device
select the Bluetooth input and press the handset
play/pause key ( ).
The Uniti Series product will enter “discovery mode” and
become available for pairing in the Bluetooth device
Bluetooth setup menu.
Note: The default Uniti Series product Bluetooth name
incorporates the last four characters of the unit’s MAC
address. The MAC address can be found listed in the
Setup menu under Network Settings.
Bluetooth connection
Bluetooth playback
Note: Up to sixteen Bluetooth devices can be paired
simultaneously. If a seventeenth device is paired the
oldest paired device will be deleted.
Once successfully paired with a Bluetooth device, the Uniti
Series product will be available to the audio apps on the
device. Uniti Series products switch automatically to their
Bluetooth input when in receipt of a Bluetooth stream.
The Bluetooth input setup menu oers further Bluetooth
conguration options and setup parameters, including
the option to congure an “open” Bluetooth connection
that does not require pairing. See section 4.3.10 for more
information.
Note: If multiple devices are paired, the Uniti Series
product will play from the rst device from which it
receives a stream. If you wish to stream from a dierent
paired device, the rst device must be disconnected.
Press the handset or front panel exit key to disconnect.
Bluetooth pairing and playback with an Android mobile
device is illustrated in the following diagrams. Bluetooth on
an iOS device is similar.
