Naim All-in-One Systems Technology / Engineering / Design

Uniting heritage, engineering and technology…

At the heart of Mu-so sits an active arrangement of amplifiers inspired by the technology we developed for Bentley Motors. These drive our custom-designed speakers to offer a staggering sound that defies size – Mu-so Qb delivers 300 watts while Mu-so packs 450 watts of incredible sound. However, power means nothing without control. That’s why Mu-so features a 32-bit digital signal processor capable of millions of calculations per second. It’s the audio brain of each of the systems, controlling software that’s been fine-tuned by engineers in our listening room. It means that every last drop of performance is extracted from your music. From the aluminium heat sinks (that also house built-in antennae), to the touch panel control and illuminated base – every component used in Mu-so has been considered and refined. The end result is a range of wireless all-in-one systems that deliver an unbelievable sound.

Naim All-in-One Systems Mu-so Wireless Music System

Under the skin of Mu-so…

The original Naim wireless music system delivers 450 watts of audio power. It’s the result of our hi-fi engineering heritage and a long line of award-winning systems. For all its advanced technology and intricate audio engineering, Mu-so is incredibly easy to connect. Link your smartphone, tablet or computer to enjoy streaming services like Spotify or TIDAL, play 1000s of internet radio stations, and link all sorts of devices via Bluetooth or any of the system’s connection ports. However you use your Mu-so, everything is easily controlled via the Naim iOS and Android App. The whole system is powered by a 32-bit digital brain that drives six custom-designed speakers for a sound like no other. Every element of Mu-so is designed for the ultimate wireless speaker experience.

Two large custom bass drivers are supported by a sophisticated porting system with an outlet at the end of the cabinet. It was carefully designed to move large volumes of air with low turbulence for richly textured, low distortion bass and treble.

A C R Y L I C B A S E The whole Mu-so cabinet sits on an illuminated base of high-grade acrylic which provides the foundation for the electronics and speakers to shine.

D S P The Mu-so audio brain is a 32-bit digital signal processor with software fine-tuned by our engineers in the listening room. It controls the flow of music information to each speaker and benefits from the developments we made in designing the best in-car audio systems for Bentley Motors. Two EQ settings tailor sound for close to and away from room boundaries for superb sound quality anywhere in your home.

S I L K D O M E T W E E T E R S Silk dome tweeters were chosen through listening tests to replace the traditional metal cones found in many wireless speakers for their benefit to sound quality.

M I D - R A N G E D R I V E R S Custom mid-range drivers provide crystal clear speech and emotively powerful vocals. We found through tests that positioning them as the outermost driver aided even sound dispersion.

b Naim All-in-One Systems Mu-so Qb Wireless Music System

Mu-so Qb shares the same design DNA as Mu-so, all intuitively crafted into a compact cabinet…

It’s alive with contours and features, but with five custom-designed speakers and two pistonic passive bass radiators, it’s never restricted by its size. In fact Mu-so Qb delivers 300 watts of incredible sound. At the heart of Mu-so Qb is a 32-bit digital signal processor that controls the flow of music information to each speaker for true Naim sound. And with several ways to connect the system, which can be controlled in the Naim iOS and Android app, the options for playback are vast. Mu-so Qb is a compact wireless speaker system and a true feat of audio engineering. It delivers a sound that’s unmistakably Naim and has the ability to unmask your music.
