Key Features
Product Ref: 316634
"Though its compact dimensions may suggest differently, you really are getting a lot for your money here. Most importantly, though, the greatest value is not found in its features or design, but in a sonic performance that will effortlessly dispense of any one-box rival within a few hundred pounds of its asking price.
Naim has proven once again that in hi-fi, as with publishing, a second draft can be wonderfully transformative."
"The original Qb is still a mighty fine little speaker, but if you have the cash to spare, you won't be disappointed by taking the step up. And for Qb newbies, you're in for a real treat."
Like Mu-so, Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation features an all-new intuitive interface has 15 touch-sensitive buttons and a bold, illuminated volume dial. A proximity sensor wakes the display as your hand approaches.
Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation features a new advanced multicore Digital Signal Processor (DSP). Providing over 13 times the performance of the existing single core processor, its superior accuracy allows you to hear even more from your music.
Together the Naim and Focal R&D departments have developed new custom-designed mid-range units and bass drive units for Mu-so 2nd Generation to deliver superior performance.
Combine it with other networked Naim products (from the reference ND 555 to the first Generation Mu-so and Mu-so Qb) via the Naim app.
The Naim App has been updated for seamless multiroom, discovering and pairing with a wider Naim portfolio.
Original Mu-so Qb did not come with a remote control; the new design comes with the same handset as the Mu-so 2nd Generation speaker as standard.
Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation features a totally new streaming platform, as seen in our flagship network-connected products, to deliver the latest music streaming technology in true hi-fi performance. New features include Google Chromecast built-in allowing seamless playback from your smart phone of hundreds of apps including Deezer, Qobuz and TuneIn..Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation features the very latest WiFi standards; five times faster compared to the previous generation. Increased stability and full support for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands deliver the most reliable connection.
Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation is available with a black grille as standard, with three new colour grille options available as optional accessories – Peacock, Olive and Terracotta. The new grilles are also backwards compatible with the original Mu-so Qb
