Introducing Mu-so 2nd Generation The Premium Wireless Speaker Your Music Deserves Mu-so 2nd Generation is the successor to the multiple award-winning Mu-so wireless music system, r e-engineered for class-leading performance, functionality and usability by our experts here in Salisbury, England. Combining our 45 years of hi-fi mastery with the very latest music-streaming technology and premium design quality, this is the ultimate single-box system you and your music deserve. From up to 32bit high-resolution streaming to multiroom music to HDMI TV sound; you’ve never heard it so good from an all-in-one wireless system. The Naim Streaming Platform At the heart of Mu-so 2nd Generation is Naim’s music-streaming platform, developed by 25 engineers over 3 years to offer the very best performance whether playing your own digital music collection, a world of Internet radio, or music streaming services such as TIDAL and Spotify. This acclaimed innovation is uniquely found in Naim music-streaming products, such as its Uniti range and dedicated network players, including the £20,000 flagship ND 555. DSP - The heart of the System The all-new multicore Digital Signal Processor (DSP) drives higher performance, providing 2000 MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) compared to the original Mu-so’s single-core, 150MIPS DSP. You can also hear even more from your music. We have also created a brand new limiter algorithm that keeps each of Mu-so 2nd Generation’s speaker drivers’ movement under control when at high volume levels. The new limiter, by design; is only active at extreme volume levels, and helps to retain the music’s clarity and increase long term reliability. Enhanced Feature Set Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation is packed full of game-changing performance, feature and functionality upgrades. Enjoy your music, any way you want.
