The NP30 is designed to be connected to an analogue preamplifier or integrated amplifier
with either balanced or unbalanced inputs.
• If your preamplifier provides balanced inputs, for best results connect the balanced XLR
outputs OUT 1 from the NP30 to the preamplifier using high quality XLR cables.
• Otherwise connect the unbalanced outputs OUT 2 to the preamplifier using high quality
RCA cables.

You can connect up to three optical digital inputs and one coax digital input to the NP30.
• Connect the inputs IN 1 to IN 3 to digital sources with optical outputs, using TOSlink
digital cables.
• Connect input IN 4 to a digital source using a digital coax cable.

• Connect a Windows PC or Macintosh USB port to USB B on the NP30 using a USB A
to USB B cable.
PC: Windows XP/SP2 or later is required. You need to install the Primare xmos audio
driver, available on www.primare.net.
Mac: OSX 10.4 or later is recommended. No driver is required.
The NP30 will then appear as a sound output device called XMOS USB Audio 2.0 in
the Sound control panel (PC) or Sound system preferences panel (Mac).
