"A small speaker with big personality, the Qb combines style, substance and a whole lot of features at a more affordable price." 'What Hi-Fi? magazine'. 5-star review.
The award-winning Mu-so, reconfigured
Already a smash hit, the Naim Mu-so has quickly become the music system to beat at its price range. With similar features, digital electronics and control systems, the Mu-so Qb packs in much of the original’s greatness but in a much more compact casing. The cube-shaped Qb is perfect for those tighter spots, such as by your bed, in the kitchen or on your desk, where a standard Mu-so simply won’t go.
Spacious, stereo sound
Unlike some rivals, the Mu-so Qb is equipped to deliver full stereo sound. Beneath the grille are stereo, two-way speakers that are specifically angled to deliver an immersive, stereo sound. Far from being any old speakers, the Naim Mu-so Qb uses high quality, soft dome tweeters paired with custom mid-range drivers for a smooth and natural sound.
Breathtaking power
Despite its compact case, the Mu-so Qb still delivers a phenomenal 300 watts of pure power. Two-thirds of the power is channelled to the stereo speakers with a meaty 100 watts dedicated to the bass. Helping this baby speaker sound so punchy is a custom-made woofer with the backup of two further passive ABRs (Auxcillary Bass Radiators). What this mean is that you’ll struggle to find any wireless speaker this size with such a full-range and powerful sound.
The rhythm of Naim
Amongst hi-fi experts, Naim are revered for the 'timing' or sense of rhythm their products portray. The Mu-so Qb is no different and manages to make many rivals sound cold and cynical by comparison. If you want to feel the soul of the music then no other speaker system around this price will match the sense of timing and cohesion on offer here.
AirPlay, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi - The choice is yours
Whatever you want to connect up, the Mu-so Qb has it covered. If you've got an Apple iOS device you can connect up with AirPlay and stream your music collection straight to the speaker. Also standard is Bluetooth. This works with the vast majority of smartphones and tablets and supports apt-X for enhanced sound quality. The Naim Mu-so Qb also offers UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) compatibility via Wi-Fi or Ethernet to connect up to your home network system. Once connected you can stream music from your PC, Mac or NAS (Network Attached Storage) drive.
Internet radio, Spotify Connect and a great control app
Download the highly developed Naim app on your Apple iOS or Android device and you'll be able to take advantage of the vTuner Internet radio system. Offering thousands of stations from around the world, Internet radio not only offers choice but also the potential for superior sound quality, thanks to the superior codecs available to the radio stations. The Mu-so Qb is also compatible with the hugely popular Spotify Connect.
CD-quality music streaming with Tidal HiFi
With streaming in CD-quality, lossless sound, Tidal HiFi is perhaps the ultimate streaming music service. Now you don't have to choose between the quality of CDs and the convenience of streaming music. With Tidal HiFi you can have them both!
Connect up via USB
If you prefer the certainty of a wired connection, the Mu-so Qb is also fitted with a USB interface. Plug in your iPhone, iPad, iPod, MP3 player or USB stick and enjoy music played back to the highest standard.
Boost your TV or games console sound
Fitted with both optical digital and 3.5mm auxcillary analogue inputs, you can boost the sound of your other components, too.
Connect up to five Mu-sos for the ultimate Multiroom experience
Use the Naim app for your phone or tablet and you can play music through up to five Mu-sos or Mu-so Qbs. Play the same song, in beat perfect time, on all speakers or choose different music in different rooms.
The finest design
Just as with its big brother, the Mu-so Qb sets the standard for style, innovation and finish. The main casing is made from an ultra-tough material that is 20% glass-filled polymer. This not only offers excellent rigidity but also great dampening properties, meaning the Mu-so won’t rattle – even when the windows do! The quality acrylic base and aluminium heatsink are typical of Naim in that they provide both style and function. Finally, the touch sensitive interface system is a joy to use and will have you reaching for it over smartphone control whenever possible.
The best of Naim Mu-so, in a compact cube. The Mu-so Qb creates even more opportunities to enjoy class-leading sound.
