Hey I'm JR, training manager here at
Crutchfield, and this is the
Naim Mu-so. It is the second generation of
the Mu-so speaker,
it has been redesigned to look and
sound even
more awesome. It is big, it is hefty, it
weighs almost
25 pounds. It is solid. It is a 
vibration-resistant cabinet,
which all contributes to incredible
sound quality. And it looks great. You can
even get different grilles for the front
in different colors if you want to
customize it for your living room. As far
as sound goes, there is a ton of power
built in.
450 watts total, that's 75 watts per
speaker. There are two
one-inch silk dome tweeters, two two and
a half inch mid-range speakers, and two
five and a quarter by three inch
oval woofers. All of that contributes to
a full spectrum
of beautiful sound. It is a wireless
music system, which means you get your
music into it wirelessly. Most of the
time you can do that with Apple AirPlay 2
and Chromecast, and the Naim control
app,
all of which will allow you to do a
multi-room system. So if you have more
than one of these,
you can have each one as a zone and play
different songs with the same song in
different rooms,
pretty cool. You can of course also
stream Spotify connect,
TIDAL, internet radio stations and more.
And if you want to just connect to it
via Bluetooth, you can do that as well.
It's got Bluetooth 4.2, which will
sound great. If you have a lot of music
on your computer, you'll also be able to
stream that wirelessly to the Naim
Mu-so using UPnP or U Plug-n-Play,
and that works for
a lot of different music file types like
all the low-res stuff like MP3s,
as well as some hi-res stuff including
waveforms,
FLACs, AIFF and ALAC files,
and DSD files at 2.8 and 5.6 megahertz.
So wirelessly stream high-res music into
this and it will
sound fantastic. It is also Roon ready,
which means
you can enhance your digital music
listening experience. Instead of opening
up an album art, you have a digital
version of that with
information about the artist, lyrics for
the songs, tour dates.
Roon is a pretty cool feature and this
is Roon ready.
The Mu-so also has some hardwired inputs
right over here under the side, including
an
HDMI input with Audio Return Channel. It
also has an optical input, a 3.5
millimeter auxiliary input, and
there's a USB input for use with a USB
mass storage device,
you know, a USB memory stick loaded up
with bunches of music. To control your
Mu-so, there's a couple ways to do that.
You can use the included handheld remote
control,
you can use the Naim control app on your
phone, and you can talk to your Google
home assistant and tell it to tell your
Naim
what song to play at what volume, track
forward, track backward, that sort of
stuff.
But the coolest way to control it by far
is right here on top with this rotary
control. There is an
illuminated volume control as well as a
touch-sensitive control pad. That reacts
to the proximity of your hand so it
lights up
when you're nearby so that you can tell
the Naim what to do. So this is the Naim
Mu-so second generation. It's been
redesigned to look and sound
even better than before. If you have any
questions on this or any wireless music
system, give us a call here at

advisors online. We're here to help you
get the right stuff for your house.
