Naim's NAC112x preamplifier is to get a makeover next month, with launch of the NAC122x. Unimaginative name aside, the NAC122x promises some exciting enhancements including better performance and lower overall noise than the NAC112x. And what's clearly a nod towards the growing use of 2.1 systems, this time round there's an additional stereo output for connection to an active subwoofer.
The NAC122x can be powered from the preamp power outputs of the NAP150x or NAP200 or can be upgraded by powering it from either a FlatCap 2x or Hi-Cap 2 power supply. And if you want to go multiroom, the NAC122x can be fitted with a RS232 communications option. Additional control can also be made via a 3.5mm jack socket on the rear panel which supports a modulated RC5 signal.
Expect to pay around £750 for the NAC122x on its release next month.
