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 aected by

volume adjustments. Pre volume control output signals

are unaected by volume adjustments and must be routed

via a volume control before reaching a power amplier.

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 preamplier outputs are intended for connection to an upgrade or second power amplier, or a

subwoofer. The preamplier output is taken after the volume and balance controls so a power amplier or subwoofer(s)

connected to it will respond to volume and balance changes. The preamplier output always reects 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 amplier 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 amplier 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 oer 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 oering 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 specic 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.

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 conguration

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 conguration but to connect

to networks automatically (DHCP is used by default).

However, if your Uniti Series product has been previously

used, its network conguration 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 conguration 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.

3.8 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 congure 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

identied 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.

Note: The Naim app Settings menu enables streamer

default names to be changed. Designating each one with a

name that reects 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 congure to reect 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 oer 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.

See Section 4.7.2 below for notes on non-DHCP network

connection.

Note: Devices installed on a network have an IP address

through which they are identied by all the other items

on the network. DHCP is a set of rules that enable the

automatic allocation of addresses as items are connected

(or switched on while connected) to the network. All Uniti

series products are congured by default to use DHCP.

Note: If a Uniti Series product is connected to a network

both wirelessly and via a wired connection, the wired

connection will take priority.

4.7.1 Wireless Network

Connection Set Up

If the Wireless parameter is selected

in the Network Settings menu the

Select Network menu will display

a list of the available networks. An option not to use a

wireless connection is also provided.

Note: Uniti Series products are compatible with the most

commonly used Wi-Fi standards. Routers that support

Note: As with any wireless network hardware, connection

reliability will be aected 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.

Note: Uniti Series products cannot connect to a “hidden”

wireless network.

If the selected network is secure

and requires a password to join, an

alert message will display. Pressing

the handset ok/list key will then

open a text entry screen for entry of

the password.

Use the handset numeric/text keys

to enter the password taking care

to ensure that the letter case is

correct. Press the handset ok/list

key when text entry is complete. In

the illustration the password is “atsh”.

If the network is successfully joined

a conrmation screen will display.

If an incorrect password is entered

an alert message will display.

Note: Some routers may also

require a MAC address to be

entered before allowing Uniti

Series products to join a wireless

network. This type of security

feature is known as ‘MAC address ltering’. Uniti Series

product MAC addresses are shown in both their Network

Settings and Factory Settings menus.

Note: The wireless password key is created when the

wireless router is rst set up and could be a word or

a series of numbers and letters. If the password is not

known, check on the router settings page or with the

person who initially set up the router.

Note: If a router oers multiple security congurations,

only the most secure one will be oered.

Note: If WEP security is used the router should be set to

“auto” or “open” authentication.

If the selected network is insecure

and requires no password, an alert

message will display. Pressing the

handset ok/list key will immediately

connect your Uniti Series product to the network and

display a conrmation screen.

Note: Wireless connection diculties can sometimes be

resolved by changing the wireless connection channel in

the router settings.

9. Uniti Series Network Audio Streaming

9.1 UPnP™ Streaming

Uniti Series products can play audio stored on any device

that incorporates UPnP™ server software (provided that

device is on the same network as the Uniti Series product).

The UPnP™ server is usually a Windows or Apple home

computer, although some Network Attached Storage (NAS)

drives incorporate a UPnP™ application.

Note: The Naim UnitiServe and HDX hard disk music

players can operate as UPnP™ servers.

Windows Media™ Player version 11 or above incorporates

UPnP™ support and a variety of third party UPnP™

applications are also available that are compatible with both

Windows and OS X operating systems.

In the case of the Windows UPnP™ server the following

steps must be taken before music can be streamed to a Uniti

Series product:

• Ensure Windows Media™ Player version 11 or above is

installed.

• Enable Windows Media™ Player le sharing. From

the Media Player Options dialogue select Library >

Congure Sharing… then select Share my media.

• Ensure the rewall is congured to allow le sharing.

9.1.1 Audio File Compatibility

The audio les stored on the UPnP™ servers attached to

the network may be in DSD (SuperUniti only), MP3, M4A,

ALAC, AAC, LPCM16/24, FLAC, WMA, WAV, AIFF or Ogg

Vorbis formats. Files must be free of any digital rights

management playback restrictions such as the Apple iTunes

FairPlay system.

9.1.2 Scanning Servers and

Playing Files

When the Uniti Series product

UPnP™ input is selected a list of

available UPnP™ servers on the

network will be displayed. The display will automatically

enter list mode so the handset up (5), down (6) and ok/list

keys can be used to browse and select the desired server.

Note: Allegro Media Server

(shown in the illustrations) is a

UPnP™ Media Server application

that runs on OS X or Windows

computers and provides access to

media les and iTunes library content from UPnP™ media

players.

The manner in which the UPnP™

server is set up will dene how the

audio les and playlists it holds are

listed and displayed. In most cases

the default setup will list and display

les by artist and album, but list by genre and predened

playlists may also be available.

Note: Playlists cannot be generated or stored on the Uniti

Series product. To play a playlist it must reside on the

UPnP™ server.

Selecting one of the playlist

categories using the up (5), down

(6) and ok/list keys will display a

menu showing items that fall into

the selected category. An entire

category can be selected for playback by using the up (5),

down (6) keys followed by the play/pause ( ) key.

Alternatively, selecting a category using the up (5) and

down (6) keys followed by the ok/list key will display the

full list of tracks contained within the category. Tracks can

then be selected for playback by using the up (5), down (6)

and ok/list keys.

In long lists the handset numeric/text keys can be used to

jump through the list alphabetically.

Once playback is underway the Uniti Series display will

exit from list mode and revert to normal mode where the

handset transport keys ( ) can be used to control

playback. To re-enter list mode for further list browsing and

selecting press the handset ok/list key.

During playback, pressing the handset info ( ) key will

sequentially display the server name, buer level, track

elapsed time and stream (audio le) information.

Note: Buer level indicates the quantity of stored data

and reects the ability of the network to provide data at

the necessary rate.

In addition to enabling internet radio to be played, a Uniti Series network connection enables audio les stored on UPnP™

servers, audio streams from Spotify

Connect devices and audio streams from other Naim streamers to be played. Your Uniti

Series product must be connected, either wirelessly or via network cabling, to a network router. If the router provides an

internet connection it should incorporate a rewall.

9.4 Multiroom Streaming

Note: Uniti Series units that broadcast audio to others are

known as “server streamers”. Uniti Series units that receive

audio are referred to as “client streamers”.

9.4.1 Client Streamers

Uniti Series products can play audio streams broadcast from

other Uniti products connected to the same home network.

With its multiroom input enabled, a

client streamer, when in receipt of

a stream, will automatically select

that input and play the audio. The

client streamer will display its “now

playing” screen. Its list function,

menu navigation and transport

controls (except stop) will not

function while the multiroom input

is active.

To disconnect a client streamer

locally, press the front panel

or handset stop key or select

an alternative input. The client

streamer can be reconnected only

by re-selecting it from the server streamer Rooms menu.

9.3.2 Server Streamers

With its multiroom input enabled,

selecting Rooms from the Setup

menu will prompt a Uniti Series unit

to search for other Naim streamers

with enabled multiroom inputs.

Selecting one of the streamers

found by the search will nominate

the Uniti Series product as the

server and the selected streamer

as a client. The selected client

streamer will immediately switch to its multiroom input.

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 congured by default to

require a secure Bluetooth connection so must be paired

with specic 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.

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 oers further Bluetooth

conguration options and setup parameters, including

the option to congure 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 dierent

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.
