Excellence Remastered
Almost Everything Has Changed

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 2nd Generation is packed full of
game-changing performance, feature and functionality upgrades. Enjoy your music, any way you want. 

Optimised Speaker Drivers

Mu-so 2nd Generation’s 450 Watts of music power are joined by improved and highly optimised speaker drivers – a joint development project between Naim and Focal R&D departments.

Focal has been creating benchmark acoustic equipment since 1979, and its expertise has taken speaker-driver precision and performance to new levels.

95% Re-engineered

Premium aluminium casing, in a new burnished grey finish.

It may look similar outside, but inside Mu-so 2nd Generation, the majority of components have been upgraded to improve performance.

The cabinet design has been re-engineered to create 13% more internal volume, enabling bigger, better bass. Both the cabinet bracing and baffle moulding have been redesigned for improved rigidity, which suppresses and controls vibrations.

The distinctive heat-sink fins are now more compact, while still being ultra-effective, and continuing to feature Naim patented technology that discreetly incorporates the wi-fi antenna.

Where to Buy

Upgraded App Control

The updated Naim app allows you to browse by artist, genre, album and more, complete with artwork and extended music information. 

Control volume, light settings, room modes and create playlists. 

Multiroom Music Made Easy With Smart Integration

Mu-so 2nd Generation works brilliantly on its own or as part of a multiroom music set-up. There are three easy ways to make it multiroom:

Where to Buy
1. Combine it with other networked Naim products (including 1st Generation Mu-so and Mu-so Qb) via the updated Naim app
2. Pair it with other AirPlay 2-compatible wireless speakers via the Apple Home app
3. Pair it with other Chromecast devices via groups controlled by the Google Home app.
  • HDMI ARC

    Your new Mu-so 2nd Generation can boost your TV sound as well as your musical enjoyment.

  • Serve from a Uniti Core

    The Uniti Core reference music server completes the multiroom set-up, allowing you to store and stream thousands of albums and back up all of your music in one place.

  • Multiroom with separates

    Naim’s award-winning range of streaming hi-fi separates  - including the latest ND5 XS2, NDX 2 and ND555 network players – provide the ultimate in digital music reproduction. 

  • Relocate your Mu-so

    Your Mu-so 1st Generation can still be used seamlessly with 2nd Generation and other Naim products.

  • Mulitroom with the Uniti Range

    The acclaimed Uniti range is a perfect ‘just add speakers’ solution when space is at a premium.

AppleInsider | Mu-so 2nd Generation | 5/5 Review , Jan 2020
"We've been floored by the performance of the Mu-So 2, especially when it comes to Apple users and AirPlay 2."
Gear Patrol | Mu-so 2nd Generation & Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation | Review, Jan 2020
"The Mu-so 2 home speaker has more than 10 times the processing power of the original Mu-so, which helps it stream higher-resolution audio (up to 32bit/384kHz) and create an even bigger sound."
The ambient | Mu-so 2nd Generation & Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation, Dec 2019
"Naim has double the amount of wireless speakers Apple has in its line-up - that’s right, a whole two. But what your admittedly significant outlay buys are the products of an established, even venerable, high-end hi-fi company with more than enough expertise to blow your socks off."
Country & Town House | A Great British Brand 2020, Dec 2019
"However dark the days, people’s love for music never dims and Naim is here to make favourite tracks sound incredible on the best British hi-fi products available."
HI-FI World | Mu-so 2nd Generation | 5 Globes , Oct 2019
"As one-box systems go the Mu-So 2 is hard to beat. It combines superb construction with an easy control system and a sound that belies its dimensions. "
Gramophone | Mu-so 2nd Generation | Review , Sep 2019
"Not so much updated as completely reinvented, despite the similar looks, the new version of Naim's all-in-one system is an even more attractive buy"
TechHive | Mu-so 2nd Generation | Editors Choice , Sep 2019
"This speaker sounds exquisite, and it can handle any nearly any format you can think of from just about any source you can imagine: online, offline, digital, or analog. This is a great music system whether you operate it solo or as part of a multi-room audio system. I recommend it wholeheartedly."
EISA Awards 2019 | Mu-so 2nd Generation | Best All-In-One System , Aug 2019
"wide-open, fast, detailed and yet reassuringly weighty, it sets the standard all other integrated systems now have to beat."
