Naim NAC 282 Pre Amplifier / NAPSC Power Supply (2005)

A super NAC 282 Preamplifier and NAPSC power supply from British specialist Naim Audio. Originally launched in 2002 this little combination is very popular with Naim owners. It is in very good condition and supplied in full factory packaging, with remote control, manual, mains cable, plus of course our standard three month warranty. Please note the NAC 282 preamplifier does not incorporate an internal power supply but must be used in conjunction with either a Naim power amplifier incorporating a preamplifier power output, or with an appropriate Naim power supply. The NAC 282 is supplied with a NAPSC power supply that provides power to its display and control circuits only. Our units date from 2005.
Naim say….
NAP 282 Preamplifier
Step up from the NAC 202 and you arrive at the outstanding NAC 282. The NAPSC independently powers the NAC 282’s digital and control circuits, leaving its audio circuits to either the power supply of a NAC 155 XS or NAP 200 power amplifier, or to one of our standalone FlatCap XS, HiCap or SuperCap power supplies. The result is even greater transparency and superior musicality plus, of course, all the flexibility you’d expect from one of our preamplifiers.
Low resonance circuit boards and anti-vibration, resonance control feet maximise isolation, hence minimizing the effects of microphonic vibration on the highly sensitive electronic components.
The NAC 282 features a silent microprocessor that sleeps during listening and controls all aspects of the amplifier. Optical protection circuits continuously monitor the power supplies ensuring safe shut-down in the event of a power cut.
A user configurable ‘Smart IR’ system remote control is supplied. Two of the six inputs on the Naim Audio NAC 282 can be configured either as the usual DIN inputs, preferred for their superior earthing and impedance matching, or for use with the more common RCA phono connectors, allowing a wide range of non-Naim Audio cables and components to be used. A dedicated unity-gain input is provided for use with the Naim Audio AV2 processor or similar.
Features:
Support for both DIN and RCA inputs to facilitate connection into a wider range of systems
Silent microprocessor control that sleeps during listening
Precision rotary potentiometers with precious metal wipers
AV bypass mode for simple connection to an existing AV system
Powered input for use with StageLine or SuperLine phono stages
Performance upgradable with FlatCap XS, HiCap or SuperCap power supply; can also be powered from the preamp inputs of the NAP 155 XS or NAP 200 power amplifier

NAPSC Power Supply
Controlling the power supply element of the system has been a mainstay of Naim Audio engineering since the early days. Just as paying close attention to every detail in design – no matter how small or seemingly insignificant it may seem – is one of the ways in which we ensure high quality musical performance.
The NAPSC power supply is an example of this philosophy in action. It comes as standard with the NAC 282 preamplifier, supplying smooth low-noise power for the digital circuitry, leaving the preamp to concentrate on doing its main job of managing the signal.
Features:
18V power output
Bead-blasted, black-anodised aluminium chassis plus anti-vibration feet
Convenient and compact size at just 12 cm wide
