Naim Say….
Naim’s UnitiSystem represents a new approach to enjoying high fidelity music around the home. Simpler than traditional multi-room and focused purely on convenient access to music, UnitiSystem recasts the hi-fi rulebook and can, literally, re-wire your music. Simplicity and convenience aren’t provided at the cost of true hi-fi performance, however; a Naim badge ensures that UnitiSystem delivers world-beating sound quality. UnitiSystem brings genuine Naim, audiophile, high-resolution sound quality to every room of the house.
UnitiSystem is “grown-up” hi-fi made simple. UnitiSystem comprises the NaimUniti and UnitiQute multi-source, all-in-one players, the UnitiServe CD ripping UPnP™ music server, and an iPhone or iPod Touch app. With a UnitiServe as the hub of the system, and NaimUniti or UnitiQute as satellite players, a simple wired or wireless network and a pair of speakers for each room can light up an immensely capable and fabulous sounding multi-room music system. System control can be via touch screens, conventional handsets, a PC or Mac, as well as an iPhone or iPod Touch app.
The multi award-winning NaimUniti is a complete hi-fi system in its own right. Just add speakers. As well as being able to play UPnP™ streams at up to 24bit/96kHz resolution via either a wired or wireless connection, NaimUniti incorporates a CD player, a 50 Watt per channel amplifier, a DAB, FM and Internet radio (iRadio) tuner, and a USB interface that enables playback from iPod and high resolution digital audio from USB memory sticks. NaimUniti is also a genuine Naim product that replays music from any source with characteristically engaging and seductive sound quality. Its integral amplifier is a direct descendent of some of the fi nest hi-fi power amplifiers ever made, its CD player was conceived and developed by the same team that developed the world’s fi nest player, the CD555, and its electronics incorporate all the lessons learned from Naim’s 20 years of developing high performance digital audio products.
As well as operating as both a stand-alone system and a network audio player, with its multiple digital sources for access to yet more music, NaimUniti is a perfect addition to a conventional hi-fi system. And its multiple digital and analogue inputs make it the ultimate home entertainment hub for use with alternative sources – DVD players, satellite TV receivers, MP3 players or games consoles perhaps. For yet more performance, NaimUniti can be upgraded by the addition of an external Naim power amplifier.
Gaining access to all the potential of NaimUniti is achieved through a variety of simple and intuitive user interfaces – front panel, remote control handset, iPhone / iPod Touch app – which means your music is available wherever you like it: wherever you are.
