Naim High End Home Audio & Video Systems

The Naim 500 Series represents the ultimate expression of the state-of-the-art in musical replay systems. The performance of each individual element is, we believe, unsurpassed, but when the three are combined they form a union that is truly magical in its breathtaking ability to connect you with the music. The 500 Series began with the introduction of the fabulous NAP 500 power amplifier, a two- box 140W design that could deliver traditional Naim Reference-level performance into any loudspeaker load, even over prolonged periods. The range subsequently expanded with the introduction of the NAC 552 preamplifier, which we consider to be the finest preamplifier in the world, and the equally superb, state-of-the-art CD555 CD player and 555 PS power supply.

The Classic components are those models - or their descendants - that helped our company to establish its enviable reputation for world- class sound. Some of these designs, such as the legendary NAP 250 power amplifier, have been undergoing revisions and improvements since their introduction: and in the case of the 250 that was the 1970s. These are modern day Classics in the truest sense of the word and benefit from having been thoroughly tried and tested by the most discerning listeners - including many well-regarded musicians - as well as being scrupulously fine tuned for years.

The XS family of products is far more than another selection of separates components aiming to introduce customers to Naim's performance first philosophy. All the products have been designed and engineered to work in complete harmony with one other. They can be easily upgraded if desired and are all versatile, leading edge components with contemporary, slim-line styling. The sound they produce is sublime and far superior to other equipment at the same price level or even much higher.

The i Series range of components represents our introductory electronics, even though listening tells another story: they simply sound far too sophisticated to be considered 'entry-level'. The CD5i and NAIT 5i benefit from technology that has trickled down from the stratospheric heights of the 500 series. They also feature advanced design elements that were introduced solely for these models, which partly explains why they perform as well as they do. The i models provide a readily affordable beginning to Naim ownership and thus to the pinnacle of audio performance.

Our first all-in-one audio system, and the first product we launched in the Uniti family, NaimUniti exceeded everyone's expectations and has proven to be immensely popular world wide. The single case contains a CD player, an amplifier, and a multi-format tuner delivering FM, DAB and internet radio, together with a whole host of analogue and digital inputs. It can also stream digital media from any UPnP- enabled device (PC, Mac) or Network Attached Storage (NAS) on the home network and has iPod connectivity. You can even connect a turntable, if you so wish. UnitiQute joins its larger sibling, also offering all-in-one capabilities, minus the CD player, but in a smaller, more compact casing.

The Ovator loudspeaker represents another 'first' for Naim. The design is the first high-end loudspeaker to employ a Balanced Mode Radiator. This clever device covers the audio spectrum from 380Hz upwards to beyond the limits of human perception, which means that, unlike conventional loudspeakers, it has no crossover right in the middle of the critical voice region to affect its performance.

This speaker sounds wonderfully natural whether it is reproducing the biggest bass drum or the tiniest triangle.

The n-Series loudspeakers are intended for both stereo and AV use and there is an n-SUB subwoofer specifically designed to accommodate both disciplines and deliver optimal performance in either. A dedicated bracket helps owners position the n-SAT satellite speakers for the best results, whether they are being used in a 5.1 - or a 2-channel system. Their diminutive, room-friendly proportions do not even hint at the scale of the sound they can reproduce.
