Description

Mu-so 2nd Generation is the successor to the multiple award-winning Mu-so wireless music system, re-engineered for class-leading performance, functionality, and usability by Naim’s experts in Salisbury, England.

Combining Naim’s 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 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.

Naim has also created a 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.

Premium aluminum 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 molding 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.

To ensure your modules are properly powered, the R6 has 150% of the required current, so you'll never be underpowered. It also has a built-in LED display to show current consumption and a double-shielded internal power supply that won't add any interference or unwanted noise to your signal. Rupert Neve is an audio legend. So you know when he designs a 500 Series chassis, it's top-shelf, all the way. Give your 500 Series modules the pampering they deserve with the Rupert Neve Designs R6 500 Series rack. Genius in the details With the Rupert Neve Designs' RND R6, there's genius in the details. The R6's double-shielded internal power supply was meticulously designed to avoid magnetic induction in any of its module slots. The power supply is a Switchmode type, and great care was taken to ensure that the frequencies are considerably outside the audible band. There's an internal jumper configuration that makes it easy to link slots in pairs. It's even fitted with variable-position screw holes that slide to accommodate modules that are slightly out-of-spec, which makes the insertion of modules quick and easy. Trust Sweetwater: when it comes to 500 Series racks, the RND R6 is as good as it gets. Rupert Neve Designs RND R6 500 Series Rack Features at a Glance:

Rupert Neve Designs RNHP is a state-of-the-art headphone amplifier. Now when Mr. Neve turns his attention to anything, you know it's going to be good. And spectacularly so. What the RNHP delivers is reliable, reference-grade amplification for any pair of headphones. Based on the headphone amp in the RND 5060 Centerpiece, the dedicated 24-volt design is spec'd with calibrated +4dBu Line, RCA, and 1/8" stereo inputs. Everything's housed in a road-tough, VESA-mountable steel chassis. The unit's effortless sonic performance and the ability to drive virtually any 'phones without compromise let you perform, mix, and savor your music with stunning clarity. Rupert Neve Designs RNHP at a Glance:
  • Unerring accuracy for better performances
  • The benefits of near-zero-ohm output impedance
Unerring accuracy for better performances You know you perform your best when your cans sound great - and that's where the RNHP can make a huge difference. Many integrated headphone amps are plagued with a non-linear frequency response, as well as noise, distortion, and skimpy headroom. To some, these units' lackluster sonic performance may seem "close enough for rock 'n' roll," however at Sweetwater, we believe there is the performer's subconscious response to consider. After all, if you're not inspired by what you're hearing, your performance will suffer. The benefits of near-zero-ohm output impedance Rupert Neve Designs spec'd the RNHP with near-zero-ohm output impedance to minimize frequency-based reactive-load impedance shifts - a problem unique to headphone monitoring. This ensures accurate sound reproduction, which is obviously important if you need to trust the decisions you make with headphones. You'll find the RNHP's unerring accuracy beneficial when you're using just one set of cans, and also when you're comparing a mix on multiple pairs of headphones. Rupert Neve Designs RNHP Features:
  • Reliable, reference-grade amplification for any pair of headphones
  • Based on the headphone amp in the RND 5060 Centerpiece
  • Effortless sonic performance
  • The ability to drive virtually any headphones
  • Dedicated 24-volt design
  • Calibrated +4dBu Line, RCA, and 1/8" stereo inputs
  • Near-zero-ohm output impedance minimizes frequency-based reactive-load impedance shifts
  • Road-tough, VESA-mountable steel chassis
This high-resolution preamp uses Marantz's tuned HDAM amp technology for high-fidelity sound, and offers all the technologies you'd need for modern home cinema and integration. This processor (or preamp) is designed to work with high-quality external power amplifiers such as the Marantz MM8077, MM7055, and MM7025. It offers advanced HDMI connectivity with eARC support, as well as full 3D audio support.
