Celebrating their partnership with Bentley Motors, Naim Audio has crafted this special edition Mu-so system, offering all the features a high-end music streaming lover could dream of, plus a sonic boost for your TV. Its unique design, the first ever Mu-so with a wooden finish, is crafted from Ayous, a sustainable African hardwood. This special edition speaker is adorned with copper color accents directly referencing key trim and brightwork aspects of Bentley Motors designs.
At the heart of Mu-so 2nd Generation is Naim's music-streaming platform, developed by 25 engineers over three 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.
The multicore digital signal processor (DSP) drives higher performance, providing 2000 MIPS (million instructions per second) compared to the original Mu-so's single-core, 150 MIPS DSP. This helps you hear more from your music.
Naim Audio has also created a limiter algorithm that keeps each driver's 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.
Play hundreds of supported apps including Deezer, Qobuz, Plex, TuneIn, SoundCloud, and Pandora from your smartphone or tablet, all streamed directly to your Mu-so via Chromecast built-in. Add the Mu-so 2nd Generation to the Google Home app to control it alongside your other Chromecast and smart home devices.
Stream music from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. Enjoy seamless playback with Apple Music and control your audio and smart home devices using Siri.
Experience true CD-quality audio streamed directly to your Mu-so. A 90-day trial of the HiFi tier is included with the Mu-so 2nd Generation.
Easily stream millions of songs from your smartphone or tablet straight to the Mu-so.
Simply connect your Bluetooth devices to instantly play your music.
Roon transforms the experience of browsing music. Beautifully laid-out metadata is located automatically, then interconnected by links to build a surfable, searchable digital magazine about your music collection.
Access thousands of internet radio stations and save your favorite presets for easy access.
Stream music from a Windows or Mac computer or network-attached storage in high-resolution, "better than CD" quality.
The Mu-so 2nd Generation features an HDMI-ARC input so you can easily connect your compatible TV to experience audiophile sound quality from your favorite films, box sets, and games.
The Mu-so 2nd Generation works brilliantly on its own or as part of a multiroom music setup. There are three easy ways to make it multiroom:
- Combine it with other networked Naim products (including 1st Generation Mu-so and Mu-so Qb) via the updated Naim app
- Pair it with other AirPlay 2-compatible wireless speakers via the Apple Home app
- Pair it with other Chromecast devices via groups controlled by the Google Home app
Boost audio from digital sources with optical connections such as TVs, set-top boxes, or game consoles. There's also a built-in 3.5mm stereo jack that can connect your Mu-so 2nd Generation to other devices.
Connect a USB stick or external USB hard drive to the Mu-so 2nd Generation and experience all your music in audiophile quality.
The Mu-so 2nd Generation comes with a stylish, easy to use remote control, allowing quick control of common functions including volume, play/pause, and track skip.
The Naim app allows you to easily browse by artist, genre, album, and more, complete with artwork and extended music information. You can also control volume, light settings, room modes, and create playlists.
Intelligently boost bass and treble for a complete musical experience, whatever volume you choose.
Tailor your listening experience to best suit your space. Choose from three different settings – Near Wall, Near Corner, and No Compensation (in free space) – to adapt the Mu-so 2nd Generation to your room.
The Mu-so 2nd Generation features an alarm clock that can be enabled via the settings menu in the Naim app.
TIDAL Connect allows you to stream directly from the TIDAL app to your Naim product.
The Mu-so's 450W of music power are joined by improved and optimized speaker drivers – a joint development project between Naim and Focal R&D departments.
The new intuitive interface has 15 touch-sensitive buttons and a bold, illuminated volume dial with a proximity sensor that wakes the display.

The Mu-so features a premium aluminum casing in a burnished gray finish. It may look similar on the outside, but inside, 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 technology that discreetly incorporates the Wi-Fi antenna.
The standard black grille can be easily swapped for one of three new color options – olive, terracotta, and peacock – to best suit your taste and décor.
