QUICK START

1. Connect the RCA or XLR outputs to a power amplifier or active

loudspeakers.

2. Plug in the AC Mains cable.

3. Press the POWER button to turn the S100 on.

4. Press the required input selector.

NOTES ON INSTALLATION

Your S100 should be placed on a firm, level surface. Avoid placing

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

Allow adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit on a soft surface

like a carpet. Do not place it in an enclosed position such as a

bookcase or cabinet that may impede the airflow through the

ventilation slots.

Switch the unit and all ancillary equipment off before making any

connections. The RCA connectors on your S100 are colour coded for

convenience. Red and white are Right and Left audio respectively,

and yellow for NAD-Link.

The S100 comes with RCA leads for basic connections. Where

additional leads are required, use high quality leads and connectors

for optimum performance and reliability. Ensure that leads and

connectors are not damaged in any way and all connectors are firmly

pushed home. If the unit is not going to be used for some time,

disconnect the plug from the AC socket.

Should water get into your S100, shut off the power to the unit and

remove the plug from the AC socket. Have the unit inspected by a

qualified service technician before attempting to use it again.

Do not remove the cover, there are no user-serviceable

parts inside.

Use a dry soft cloth to clean the unit. If necessary, lightly dampen the

cloth with soapy water. Do not use solutions containing benzol or

other volatile agents.

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

1. IEC AC MAINS (POWER) INPUT

The S100 comes supplied with a separate AC Mains cable. Before

connecting the cable to a live wall socket ensure that it is firmly

connected to the NAD S100’s AC Mains input socket first. Always

disconnect the AC Mains cable plug from the live wall socket first,

before disconnecting the cable from the S100 Mains input socket.

Voltage conversion:

A notice printed on the rear indicates the AC power-line voltage that

the preamplifier requires. However, every model S100 amplifier has a

“universal” power supply that can be modified easily for operation in

other countries. If you wish to transport your S100 to a nation that

employs a different power-line voltage, an authorised NAD dealer or

service agency can convert it for such use.

2. PHONO/AUX2 INPUT

The NAD S100 preamplifier may be fitted with a dedicated Phono

Module to allow for direct connection of phono Moving Magnet

(MM) or Moving Coil (MC) cartridges.

Depending on your version of the NAD S100 preamplifier, it may

already be fitted with the dedicated S100 Phono Module. The S100

Phono Module can be retro-fitted by your dealer who can also set

the parameters (such as MM or MC, MC cartridge impedance) of the

Phono Module to suit your specific turntable and cartridge

combination.

Without the S100 Phono Module:

Without the module installed, the PHONO/AUX2 input provides an

additional line-level input such as an additional CD player, MD player,

etc. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the auxiliary unit’s left

and right ‘Audio Outputs’ to these inputs.

NOTE: Without the Phono Module only a very faint sound will be

heard if a turntable fitted with an MM or MC cartridge is connected.

Consult your dealer to have the optional Phono Module fitted.

With the S100 Phono Module:

Ensure that your dealer has chosen the correct settings inside the

Phono Module (MM or MC, cartridge impedance) to suit your

specific turntable and cartridge combination. Connect the twin RCA

lead from your turntable, observing that the left and right channels

are connected correctly.

3. PHONO GROUND CONNECTOR

Apart from the twin RCA lead, most turntables also include a single

wire earth lead. Connect this to the S100 chassis PHONO GROUND

connector.

4. CD INPUT

Input for a CD or other line-level signal source. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA

lead to connect the CD player left and right ‘Audio Outputs’ to these

inputs. The S100 only accepts analogue signals from your CD player.

5. VIDEO INPUT

Input for the audio signal from a stereo VCR (or stereo

TV/Satellite/Cable receiver) or other line-level audio source. Using

twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the left and right ‘Audio

Outputs’ of the unit to these inputs.

NOTE: These are audio inputs only.

6. AUX 1 INPUT

Input for additional line level input signals such as another CD player.

Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the auxiliary unit’s left and

right ‘Audio Outputs’ to these inputs.

7. TUNER INPUT

Input for a Tuner or other line-level signal source. Use a twin RCA-to-

RCA lead to connect the Tuner left and right ‘Audio Outputs’ to

these inputs.
