Naim Audio

Naim Audio was founded in Salisbury in 1973 by Julian Vereker, and the company has been making amplifiers, streamers and all-in-one systems in Wiltshire ever since. The sonic philosophy that Vereker established — music reproduced with pace, rhythm and timing at its absolute centre — runs through every product Naim make.

That commitment to timing is not an abstract quality. Naim design their circuits, power supplies and mechanical layouts around the conviction that the rhythmic structure of music is what makes it emotionally engaging — and that most hi-fi systems, however technically capable, lose something in that dimension. Hearing a properly set-up Naim system is frequently the moment people understand what that actually means.

From Wireless to Reference

The Mu-so and Mu-so QB wireless speakers bring Naim's musical sensibility to a single-box format. The Naim Mu-so QB 2nd Generation is the compact version — a room-filling wireless speaker that does not ask you to sacrifice the things that make Naim worth owning. The Naim Audio Mu-so 2nd Generation is its larger sibling, with more drive and a wider presentation suited to bigger rooms.

The Uniti Series

The Uniti range — Atom, Star, Nova and Nova PE — are all-in-one streaming amplifiers combining a DAC, streamer, preamplifier and power amplifier in a single chassis. The Naim Uniti Nova PE is the flagship of the series and among the most capable all-in-one systems available at any level.

Classic Series Separates

The Classic Series — NAC 332, NAP 350, NSS 333, NPX 350 and beyond — is for those building a system component by component. The Naim Audio NPX 350 external power supply demonstrates the lengths Naim go to in isolating sensitive circuitry from noise. This is the level at which Naim's approach to power supply design and circuit layout becomes fully audible.
