Naim, New Classic Series

Naim NAC 332

Taking several elements from the Statement S1 preamplifier, a benchmark product at Naim, NAC 332 combines performance and versatility thanks to its multiple functions. It allows you to connect many sources, from an amplifier to headphones, as well as a turntable or CD player. Its optimised Naim circuits deliver enhanced musical performance from all your sources and limit internal noise for uncompromising sound quality.

Naim know-how

Under the leadership of our Technical Director, our engineers have developed specific electronic circuits to give the New Classic products superior performance. The best components have been chosen for NAC 332 and are mounted on printed circuit boards with metallic holes for increased quality. The architecture of the Statement volume knob has been used. Added to this are a high-performance transistor and balanced outputs that preserve sound quality over long distances and allow rack installation.

A timeless design

Naim products are designed to be both contemporary and timeless. Our creations forgo any unnecessary adornments that would detract from the performance and sound quality delivered. The design of the NSS 332 is razor sharp, combining a sleek design, premium materials, and adjustable logo brightness.

Perfect integration in a complete system

NAC 332 links perfectly to the streamer NSS 333 and power amplifier NAP 350 from the New Classic range.

Easy to use

Simplicity is the key. Buttons on the front panel allow quick access to standby mode, mute, and the inputs. For remote control, use the features of the bi-directional ZigBee remote, even without direct visibility of the product. The inputs are configurable so the product can be customised and a “Standby” option, consuming 0.5 Watts, reduces its energy consumption.
