Description
The Naim Mu-so 2nd Generation sits at the heart of Naim's wireless range, a single elegant cabinet that brings the British brand's renowned musicality to streaming in one box. Re-engineered by Naim's engineers in Salisbury, it pairs a world-class streaming platform with 450 watts of amplification and a six-driver speaker array co-developed with Focal, delivering a far more capable performance than its size suggests.
Streaming and multiroom
Connect to virtually any source over the network. The Mu-so 2 offers Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Roon Ready and thousands of internet radio stations via vTuner, alongside UPnP streaming of hi-res files. Group it with up to five Naim streaming products for synchronised multiroom playback, all managed from the Naim app.
Sound and amplification
Six dedicated drivers, each driven by its own 75W amplifier for a total of 450W, are tuned by a powerful multi-core digital signal processor. The result is a wide, room-filling soundstage with the rhythmic drive and detail Naim is known for.
Control and connectivity
A redesigned illuminated rotary dial on top gives intuitive touch control, while the Naim app handles everything from anywhere in the home. An HDMI ARC socket lets you route your television's sound through the Mu-so, joined by optical, USB, 3.5mm analogue and Bluetooth inputs plus wired and wireless networking.
