Naim NAC 332 Preamp

N.A.C. 332

Preamp and versatility in one

The NAC 332 is the "analog center" of your system, delivering optimal performance to your amplifier and speakers. It is Naim's most versatile preamp yet, offering the ability to connect headphones and the NVC TT phono preamp for vinyl playback. The included remote gives you one-click control of volume and inputs.

N.A.C. 332

Inheriting many elements from the Statement S1 preamplifier, a reference product from Naim, the NAC 332 combines performance and versatility with a multitude of features. Numerous sources can be connected, whether amplifiers, headphones, turntables or CD players. Optimized Naim circuitry ensures improved music performance from all your sources and reduces internal noise to ensure uncompromised sound quality.

Naim's know-how

Led by our Technical Director, our engineers have developed special electronic circuits to increase the performance of New Classic products. For the NAC 332, the best components have been selected and mounted on circuit boards with metal plated holes to increase quality. The volume control architecture of the Statement was chosen. In addition, there is a powerful transistor and balanced outputs that maintain the sound quality over long distances and allow rack mounting.

A timeless design

Naim products are both contemporary and timeless. In our creations, we avoid unnecessary frills that would compromise performance and quality of sound. The high-precision construction of the NAC 332 is characterized by a clear design, noble materials and the adjustable brightness of the logo.

Perfect integration in complete systems

The NAC 332 can be perfectly combined with the NSS 333 streaming solution and the NAP 350 power amplifier from the New Classic series.

Easy handling

Simplicity is key. Front panel buttons provide quick access to standby mode, mute mode and inputs. A bidirectional ZigBee remote control can be used for remote control - even without a direct view of the product. Inputs can be configured for individual use of the product and a 0.5 watt standby mode reduces energy consumption.

Aluminum and Naim

Naim founder Julian Vereker immediately recognized the many advantages of using aluminum to encase Naim's electronic components. He knew that sensitive audio components are very susceptible to the effects of magnetic fields, thermal runaway, and unwanted vibration.

The New Classic range follows this highly technical and sustainable approach with aluminum housings only surpassed by our flagship product “Statement”. Naim chose a high-quality aluminum that optimally combines thermal and microphonic properties. The fronts are clad with solid 20 mm aluminum blocks; heat sinks are attached to the sides. 5 mm plates close the product at the top and bottom. The aluminum is brushed, micro-sandblasted and anodized for an unchanging beauty throughout the product's lifetime. A single look and a single touch is all it takes to fall in love with the New Classic range long before the first musical note is played.
