Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation The Naim Mu-so QB 2nd Generation model is a versatile wireless audio system with streaming capabilities, housed in an eye-catching compact cube casing, continuing the innovative line of its predecessor Mu-so. The top panel of the cabinet features an illuminated disc with touch controls for all functions, surrounded by a volume control ring. The transparent acrylic base has adjustable brightness illumination.
The model is equipped with Bluetooth (with AAC, SBC codecs) and Wi-Fi. AirPlay is available, and with UPnP protocol support and LAN port, the system connects to the local network and plays audio files stored there, including Hi-Res formats up to 24 bit/384 kHz. When connected via Wi-Fi, the sampling frequency is limited to 384 kHz.
Network connection provides access to web radio (with preset saving) and web services. Built-in support for Spotify Connect and TIDAL. The Naim App for iOS and Android devices allows you to manage streaming and features of the Naim Mu-So QB 2nd Generation. It enables you to create a wireless multiroom setup, controlling music playback across five rooms with Naim components. A useful alarm function is also available.
Immerse in Sound Introducing Mu-so Qb, the second generation of the Mu-so family. In Mu-so Qb, just like in Mu-so, all the essentials are packed into a single compact casing. The powerful audio processor of Mu-so Qb is driven by algorithms developed in our acoustic laboratories in Salisbury, UK. It is a true masterpiece of audio engineering! Mu-so Qb is easy to control, convenient to connect, and delivers 300W of power.
Connection options include Airplay, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, UPnP (access to stored music), Internet radio, USB, analog and digital inputs, plus apps for Apple iOS and Android devices.
Mu-so Qb, Mu-so and other Naim streaming devices can be combined in multiroom installations. Simply sync the devices, and the same song will play synchronously in multiple rooms.
Each Component in its Place One of the most challenging design problems in creating Mu-so Qb was configuring individual speakers in such a compact casing. To achieve the signature Naim sound, our engineers meticulously selected the angle of each speaker. This resulted in a system of five speakers, perfectly offset and angled to create asymmetric dispersion. Two microfibre dome tweeters and two mid-range drivers are driven by 50W amplifiers. Rare-earth magnets and copper coils enhance transmission accuracy. Superior bass sound is ensured by two piston-like passive bass radiators, working with a specially designed woofer and a 100W amplifier. Thus, the total power of Mu-so Qb is an incredible 300 Watts!
Controlling the Sound of Mu-so Qb The heart of Mu-so Qb is a 32-bit digital signal processor, similar to the one used in the original Mu-so. Thanks to meticulous tuning based on listening tests, the processor manages the flow of musical information for each speaker - an experience we gained in developing top-of-the-line audio systems for Bentley cars. Two EQ settings allow you to optimize the sound depending on the device's placement. The end result is refined audio experiences without distortion, increased transmission accuracy, and mesmerizing sound.
