QUICK SETUP GUIDE

In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your new 
NAD M22 Stereo Power Amplifier, the following QUICK SETUP GUIDE is 
recommended to help you get started.
 
Ensure that the M22 is unplugged before making any connections. It is 
also advisable to power-down or unplug all associated components while 
making or breaking any signal or AC power connections.

Set the external source’s volume control to minimum level. External 
source can be a preamplifier, processor, amplifier or any applicable 
device.

Set SELECT switch to BALANCED or SINGLE-ENDED. It is important that 
the selection for ANALOG AUDIO INPUT must be the same for both L 
(left) and R (right) channels. 

Connect the analog audio output of your external source to the M22 
rear panel’s BALANCED or SINGLE-ENDED analog audio input. 

Connect your speakers to the LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS terminals of 
M22. 

Plug-in to a mains power source the M22’s supplied mains power cord. 
Connect corresponding end of the mains power cord to the AC mains 
input of M22 and the plug connected to a mains power source.

Plug-in also to a mains power source the external source’s mains power 
cord. Power up the external source ahead of the M22. 

Set to ON the rear panel POWER switch of M22. The M22 goes to 
standby mode as shown by the amber status condition of the Power 
indicator. 

Press 

o

 

(Standby)

 

button for the M22 to be switched ON from standby 

mode. The Power indicator will turn from amber to bright/white color. 
The M22 is ready for operation.

Adjust the external source’s volume control according to desired 
listening level. 

SAVE THE PACKAGING

Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your M22 arrived. 
Should you move or otherwise need to transport your M22, this is by far the 
safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many otherwise perfect 
components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton, so 
please: Save that box!

NOTES ON INSTALLATION

Ÿ 

Your NAD M22 should be placed on a firm, level surface. 

Ÿ 

Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat and 
damp. 

• 

Allow adequate ventilation. 

Ÿ 

Do not place the unit on a soft surface like a carpet. 

Ÿ 

Avoid placing the M22 inside a closed cabinet that is not well ventilated 
as this may compromise the M22’s performance and reliability. 

Ÿ 

Ensure that the M22 is unplugged before making any connections. 

Ÿ

2

thickness or more. 

Ÿ

from the mains power source.

Ÿ 

Use a dry cloth for cleaning.

BARE WIRES AND PIN CONNECTORS

WARNING:

 The terminals marked with this symbol 

are hazardous live. External wiring connected to these 
terminals requires installation by an instructed person or 
the use of ready-made leads or cords.

Bare wires and pin sockets should be inserted into the hole in the shaft 
of the terminal. Unscrew the speaker terminal’s plastic bushing until the 
hole in the screw shaft is revealed. Insert the pin or bare cable end into 
the hole and secure the cable by tightening down the terminal’s bushing. 
Ensure bare wire from the speaker cables does not touch the back panel or 
another socket. Ensure that there is only 1/2” (1cm) of bare cable or pin and 
no loose strands of speakers wire.

FEET INSTALLATION

The supplied magnetic feet can be easily installed by aligning and attaching 
them to their corresponding foot shoe. Refer to the illustration below.
