You’ve probably noticed; audio has exploded.
Along with listening to CDs and radio, we can
now download audio, stream audio across
networks, broadcast audio across WiFi, store
audio on memory sticks and, with iPods, drop
audio into our pockets. And if that wasn’t
enough, vinyl is definitely back on the menu.
So imagine everything audio in one place:
integrated amplifier, CD player, DAB/FM tuner,
internet radio, iPod dock, digital-to-analogue
converter, music file player and
network stream player. And now
combine all that with legendary
Naim musical quality, engineering
integrity, design sophistication
and interface know-how.
Congratulations! You’ve just come
up with the NaimUniti.
The NaimUniti is our first ever all-in-one audio
player. It combines a ten-input, 50-Watt-perchannel
integrated amplifier based on the award
wining NAIT 5i, a CD player based on the similarly
acclaimed CD5i, and a digital-to-analogue
converter with an output filter derived from that
developed for the stunning CD5x. To all that,
NaimUniti adds a high quality DAB/FM tuner,
the ability to play streamed audio files wirelessly
from UPnP™ servers or internet radio stations,
and separate interface inputs for USB memory
sticks carrying audio files, iPods and mp3 players.
NaimUniti has every base covered; you just need
a pair of speakers.
NaimUniti has an analogue heart. Its NAIT 5i-derived
integrated amplifier beats true to our long established
design philosophies and is the foundation of the
NaimUniti’s audio quality. But in parallel with audio
quality, it is NaimUniti’s immense digital versatility that
sets it apart from any other all-in-one audio product.
Its comprehensive coverage of audio bases includes
audio formats as well as audio sources. So along with
Red Book CD audio, FM and DAB radio, and iRadio
streams at multiple bit rates, NaimUniti can play audio
files in MP3, Windows Media–formatted content,
AAC, Apple Lossless (from your iPod), FLAC and WAV
formats. And thanks to NaimUniti’s internal DAC,
external digital audio sources, such as satellite TVs or
games consoles, are a breeze too. NaimUniti is the
perfect audio hub.
Versatility is however little use without accessibility.
NaimUniti’s coherent and intuitive user interface
makes using and navigating around each of its audio
sources child’s play. NaimUniti finds DAB or iRadio
stations without prompting; it connects to networks
and discovers UPnP™ server shared audio files
automatically, and it presents everything via a large
front panel display that’s the model of clarity. Every
CD track, audio file, stream or source is literally just a
couple of button presses away. NaimUniti also works
seamlessly with iPods. Simply connect an iPod to the
interface socket, using Naim’s specially-designed iPod
cable: the N-Link, and NaimUniti both takes over iPod
control and displays iPod contents. It charges the iPod
battery too.
There’s never been a more exciting time to be an
audio enthusiast and NaimUniti is an audio product
whose time has come. NaimUniti: All in one, for one
and all.
