Tape out om Uniti Nova

Posted by: Niels_pils on 10 August 2018

Hi. I’m the very happy owner of a Uniti Nova. I wonder if the DIN connectors contains a tape out, since the only line out is the the out option if this is NOT the case? 

Best regards

Congrats with your Uniti Nova, it’s a wonderful machine! As far as the analogue outputs, I don’t think a fixed line level output is available from the Nova ...

No specific Tape Out, but there are three:

 

Audio Outputs
Analogue

1 x Stereo power amplifier
1 x RCA sub/pre output
1 x 3.5mm headphone jack

 

The power amp is definitely not fixed line level as I have a NAP 250 connected and control volume via the Nova.

Realistically I suspect any of them would provide reasonable quality for tape recording assuming you can monitor the tape deck's input levels and adjust accordingly though this might make the speakers go rather loud (apart from headphone out which should cut the speakers)!

Thanks! The Sound from this unit is absolutly wonderful, and I enjoy that every day.  But, with the risk of sounding spoiled, I miss some of the old functionality the old Uniti units had. The ability to display clock permanent, and 24 hours display too. And I miss the abilty to turn off the power amp, and of course tapeout and a couple of other things. But no, I would’nt go back. The Sound is, by all means, the most important thing! Maybe, Naim could solve some of My wishes In a later update...
