About this item
Written by Crutchfield's Ralph Graves
High-resolution audio reimagined
The Naim Mu-so Wood Edition sports an attractive hardwood exterior. And it delivers a richly detailed, natural sound to match. The Mu-so Wood Edition plays high-resolution audio files such as those available through HDtracks or TIDAL's lossless streaming service with amazing accuracy. This special-edition speaker can also be part of a multi-room audio system.
Inspired by nature
The exterior is made of sustainable ayous hardwood, which is specially treated then repeatedly lacquered, giving it the appearance of light oak. The anodized aluminum that makes up the heatsinks is tinted to complement the wood finish.
High-performance speaker drivers
The Naim Mu-so Wood Edition features six custom-designed built-in speakers for full, detailed sound. It has two silk dome tweeters for clear highs, two dedicated drivers for articulate midrange, and two oval bass drivers in a ported enclosure for clean, robust lows.
Each speaker is powered by its own 75-watt amplifier, for minimal cross-interference and better detail. And with 450 watts total system power, the sound can easily fill even large rooms without distortion.
A speedy processor for better audio performance
The system features a multicore digital signal processor (DSP) to handle audio signals with precision. A new limiter algorithm carefully controls the movement of each driver at high volume levels. This prevents the speakers from being overdriven to keep the sound clean and accurate, even when you crank up your music.
Multi-room audio with the Naim app
The Naim mobile app lets you control up to five Mu-so speakers or compatible Naim components to create a multi-room audio system via your home Wi-Fi® network.
Group your connected speakers so that the same song plays throughout the house, or only on certain speakers. Or play a different song from a different source in each room. You can also build playlists with the app, and browse thousands of internet radio stations.
Compatible with Apple AirPlay 2
Built-in Apple AirPlay 2 technology lets you stream audio directly from your iPhone®, iPad®, or Mac® computer. That includes soundtracks from YouTube® videos and Netflix movies.
If you subscribe to Apple Music®, you can do even more. Use Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV 4K to control Apple Music with voice commands. Tell it what selection or playlist to play — and which compatible speakers or components you want it to play through.
Google Chromecast built-in
The Naim Mu-so Wood Edition has Google Chromecast built-in. That means you can wirelessly join it to other Chromecast built-in speakers on your Wi-Fi network to create a multi-room wireless audio system. With the Google Home app on your smartphone or tablet, you can call up playlists and access streaming services such as Spotify® Premium, TIDAL, Pandora®, Google Play Music, TuneIn, and iHeartRadio.
If you want to go hands-free and app-free, add a Google Assistant voice controller. That way, you can control your Mu-so by simply saying, "OK Google, play Pat Metheny in the den."
