1 installing the Power-Line
ensure all equipment is switched off before
connecting or disconnecting the Power-
Line.
The Power-Line will perform optimally if a
few key guidelines are followed:
•
Insert the IEC connector into a rear panel
mains socket by holding its metal outer
casing.
do not insert by holding the connector tail
or cable. doing so will compromise the
performance of the Power-Line.
Note:
The metal body of the IEC connector
is able to move a little when the Power-Line
has been inserted into a mains input socket.
This is intentional.
• Ensure that the Power-Line IEC connector
is fully inserted into the rear panel
Naim audio products are conceived with safety and performance as top priorities. Careful
installation will help ensure that their full potential is achieved. this manual covers the
Naim Power-Line mains cable.
the Power-Line offers vibrational energy dissipation and mechanical decoupling in order to
minimise the transfer of energy. it has also been designed to reduce eddy current effects.
the tails of the Power-Line ieC connector and mains plug are designed to articulate relative
to their main bodies. the pins in the ieC connector are also designed to float.
Introduction and Installation
mains socket, as illustrated below. If it
is not fully inserted performance will be
compromised.
Note:
The contacts are designed to have a
high insertion force.
•
The Mains Plug should be inserted into
the wall socket such that the cable is not
strained.
•
The cable itself should be dressed in such
a manner that it avoids contact with
signal and speaker cables.
