Award-winning music-streaming platform brought to more people – and rooms – than ever before.
Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation is the latest member of the award-winning Naim Audio’s Mu-so wireless music system family. The compact wireless speaker was re-engineered from the ground up to create audio manufacturer’s best compact wireless music system yet.
Combining Naim Audio’s 46 years of hi-fi expertise with the very latest technology, extensive software and hardware upgrades deliver a significantly enhanced performance whilst the design has evolved to perfectly match Mu-so 2nd Generation.
The new intuitive interface has 15 touch-sensitive buttons and a bold, illuminated volume dial with a proximity sensor that wakes the display. Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation’s speaker grille has had a style update. The standard black grille can be easily swapped for one of 3 new colour options – Olive, Terracotta and Peacock.
Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation features the very latest WiFi standards; five times faster compared to the previous generation. Increased stability and full support for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands deliver the most reliable connection.
The compact wireless speaker features a new advanced multicore Digital Signal Processor (DSP). Providing over 13 times the performance of the existing single-core processor, its superior accuracy allows you to hear even more from your music.

3 ways to multiroom
Powerful enough to fill most rooms, Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation’s relatively compact size also makes it a superb option for spaces such as kitchens and bedrooms, where it may be harder to accommodate the bigger Mu-so system. A few simple taps of the Naim app and it can easily join a multiroom set up with its larger sibling – or other Naim networked products, including 1st Generation Mu-so and Mu-so Qb. For convenience, you can also multiroom Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation with other AirPlay 2-compatible wireless speakers via the Apple Home app; or with other Chromecast devices via groups controlled by the Google Home app.
Available for iOS and Android devices, the updated Naim app allows you to 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. As a further option, Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation is Roon Ready, too. Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation will be available from early September.
On September 7, Naim Audio announced the company will launch the 3rd generation of Naim Audio’s acclaimed NAIT and SUPERNAIT integrated amplifiers – now with added love for vinyl.
Each enjoys significant performance upgrades, plus now both include built-in phono stages, making them a perfect partner for turntables, as well as for streamers, CD players, or any
other music source people want to enjoy.
