Naim NAC 202 combines first-class sound quality with flexibility, style and excellent value. Significant improvements in technology led to an entirely new range using new high quality star-earthed circuit boards, combining the classic Naim values of musicality and power with flexibility and value.

The Naim NAC 202 may either be powered by a NAP 155 XS or NAP 200 DR amplifier or significantly upgraded by adding Naim power supplies to independently feed the analogue audio and digital control circuits. Low-resonance circuit boards and anti-vibration, resonance controlling feet minimise the effect of microphonic vibration on the highly sensitive electronic components. Carefully matched precision rotary potentiometers with precious metal wipers are used to preserve musical integrity and ensure long-term stability.

The intelligent balance control combines a high quality motorised potentiometer for the best performance with intelligent circuitry to indicate the centre position. The NAC 202 features a silent microprocessor that sleeps during listening and controls all aspects of the amplifier including: protection circuits that continuously monitor the power supplies ensuring safe shut down in the event of a power cut; user-configurable ‘Smart IR’ remote control for simple easy and control of the Naim system. The NAC 202 introduced a new level of technical and musical performance, along with elegant new styling.
