SETUP

A  CONNECT TURNTABLE TO PP 2e

1  Ensure all ancillary equipment is turned off and the NAD PP 2e not yet 

connected to its dedicated power Supply.

2  Connect the leads from the turntable to the appropriate input sockets 

on the back of the NAD PP 2e - MC for moving coil, MM for moving 

magnet cartridge. Make sure you connect the Right channel to the 

Right input; the Left channel to the Left input. Normally, red connector 

denotes the Right Channel; white denotes the Left channel. 

3  Once the turntable leads are connected, set the MC/MM switch on the 

back of the NAD PP 2e to the correct input setting.

B  CONNECT PP 2e TO AN AMPLIFIER OR RECEIVER

1  Connect suitable RCA leads from the NAD PP 2e to the amplifier or 

receiver. Always use a so-called “Line-Level” input such as CD, AUX or 

DISC. Never connect the lead from the NAD PP 2e to an input marked 

PHONO or turntable. 

2  Again, make sure to connect the red plug to the Right channel, and the 

white plug to the Left channel of the amplifier or receiver.  

3  If the lead from your turntable is equipped with a separate earth (GND) 

lead, connect this directly to a ground connection on the NAD PP 2e. 

Use the thumb screw terminal “GND” which provides the grounding.

C  CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE PP 2e

1  Connect the dedicated Plug-in Power Supply to the NAD PP 2e 

(marked 23.5V).

2  Insert the Plug-in Power Supply to a live mains socket; the blue LED on 

the NAD PP 2e’s front panel will light up. Installation is now complete. 

As the power consumption of the NAD PP 2e is negligible, it can always be 

left switched on. It is recommended however that you disconnect the Plug-

in Power Supply from the mains if you are not going to use the NAD PP 2e 

for a prolonged period of time (such as a holiday).

D OPERATION

1  With setup completed and the NAD PP 2e plugged in to a live mains 

socket, power up the turntable and the amplifier or receiver the NAD 

PP 2e was connected.  

2  Ensure that the amplifier or receiver is set to the source or input where 

the NAD PP 2e is connected and start playback of a vinyl record in the 

turntable.  

3  Adjust the volume level of the amplifier or receiver accordingly.
