Preamplification and versatility in one

The NAC 332 is the "analogue centre" of your system, delivering optimal performance to your amplifier and speakers. It is Naim's most versatile preamplifier to date, offering the option to connect headphones and the NVC TT phono stage for playing vinyl. With the included remote control, you can control volume and inputs with a single click.

The NAC 332 incorporates many elements from the Statement S1 preamplifier, a Naim reference product, combining performance and versatility with a wide range of features. Numerous sources can be connected, whether amplifiers, headphones, turntables, or CD players. The optimized Naim circuits ensure improved musical performance from all your sources and reduce internal noise to guarantee uncompromising sound quality.

Naim's expertise

Under the leadership of our Technical Director, our engineers have developed special electronic circuits to boost the performance of New Classic products. For the NAC 332, the best components were selected and mounted on circuit boards with metal-plated holes to increase quality. The volume control architecture of the Statement was chosen. Added to this are a high-performance transistor and balanced outputs, which maintain sound quality even over long distances and enable rack mounting.

A timeless design

Naim products are both contemporary and timeless. We forgo unnecessary flourishes in our creations that would compromise performance and sound quality. The high-precision construction of the NAC 332 is characterized by a clear design, premium materials, and the adjustable brightness of the logo.

Perfect integration into 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 range.

Ease of use

Simplicity is key. The buttons on the front panel provide quick access to standby mode, mute mode, and inputs. A bidirectional ZigBee remote control can be used for remote operation – even without a direct line of sight to the product. The inputs can be configured for individual use of the product, and a standby mode with 0.5 watts consumption reduces energy usage.

Our founder, Julian Vereker, immediately recognized the many advantages that aluminum offers for housing Naim's electronic components. He knew that sensitive audio components are highly susceptible to the effects of magnetic fields, thermal instability, and unwanted vibrations ...

The New Classic range follows this highly technical and sustainable approach with aluminum enclosures that are surpassed only by our flagship product "Statement." Naim chose a high-quality aluminum that optimally combines thermal and microphonic properties. The front panels are clad with solid 20 mm aluminum blocks; heat sinks are attached to the sides. 5 mm panels enclose the product at the top and bottom. For unchanging beauty throughout the product's life, the aluminum is brushed, micro-sandblasted, and anodized. A single glance and a single touch are enough to fall in love with the New Classic range, long before the first musical note is played.
