Everything audio in one place
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
iPod devices, 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: CD player, multi-format tuner (DAB/FM/Internet radio), digital
stream player, iPod / MP3 & USB memory stick player, integrated amplifier and digital to analogue converter.
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.
Just add speakers
The NaimUniti combines a CD player based on the award wining CD5i, a ten-input, 50-Watt-per channel
integrated amplifier based on the similarly acclaimed NAIT 5i, and a digital-to-analogue converter with an
output filter derived from that developed for the CD5i. To all that, NaimUniti adds a high quality multi-format
tuner that can switch seamlessly between DAB, FM and Internet radio stations, the ability to play audio files
at resolutions up to 24bit/96kHz streamed from UPnP™ music servers like the Naim UnitiServe hard disk
player / sever, or from PC or Mac music libraries, such as iTunes, and a front-panel USB input for iPod or
MP3 players and USB memory sticks carrying audio files of up to 24bit/96kHz resolution. NaimUniti has
every base covered; you just need a pair of speakers.
The centre of your analogue and digital world
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 Internet radio 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. Gapless playback of WAV and FLAC files is catered for too. And thanks to NaimUniti’s internal
DAC with its five 24bit/192kHz-capable S/PDIF inputs, external digital audio sources, such as satellite TVs
or games consoles, are a breeze too. It can also output its internal sources or external digital signals to an
external DAC for even higher audio quality.
Analogue audio connectivity is not forgotten either. Five analogue inputs can accommodate CD players
or portable music players via rear panel phono sockets, a DIN phono input and a front-panel mini-jack.
And a preamplifier output means that with the addition of an external power amplifier, or even a subwoofer,
NaimUniti can become the heart of a very wide bandwidth audio system. And when you want to listen
privately, a front panel headphone socket makes such selfishness all too easy.
So as well as offering all-in-one functionality, NaimUniti is the perfect audio hub.
More music than ever at your fingertips
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 Internet radio
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 is Apple
authenticated and works seamlessly with iPod devices. Simply connect an iPod to the front-panel USB
input, using a standard iPod connector, and NaimUniti both takes over iPod control, and displays iPod
content, as well as charging the iPod battery. The USB audio connection is digital too so iPod sound
quality is optimised. An iPhone/iPod Touch app offering full and remote control is also available to
enhance NaimUniti experience still further.
Enjoy Connected Hi-fi
Install a NaimUniti in your home and a whole world of multi-room audio opportunities opens up. With a
UPnP™ server, such as the Naim UnitiServe, a wireless network router and a NaimUniti you have a very high
performance hi-fi system with access to almost limitless music. Add a second, or even a third NaimUniti and
you have a multi-room hi-fi system that installs effortlessly, is easily modified and sounds outstanding.
All in one, for one and all
