Just like the acclaimed Mu-so 2, the new Mu-so Qb 2 Wireless Streaming Speaker features Naim’s unique music-streaming platform, developed by 25 engineers over 3 years to offer the very best performance whether playing your own digital music collection, a world of Internet radio, or music streaming services such as TIDAL and Spotify. This acclaimed innovation is only found in Naim music-streaming products, including its Uniti range and dedicated network players, all the way up to the $39,000 flagship ND 555.

Mu-so Qb 2 Wireless Streaming Speaker gains the new 2nd Generation illuminated volume dial, complete with a full control array and a proximity sensor: it lights up in welcome as your hand approaches it. Easily access key playback controls, your favourite playlists and radio stations, Spotify resume, multi-room functionality and more from this tactile new interface. Mu-so Qb 2 can also be controlled via the updated Naim app and – by popular customer demand – a new remote control handset.

Mu-so Qb 2 Wireless Streaming Speaker Customisation

Available in the same burnished grey aluminium chassis and with the same upgraded speaker grille design as its Mu-so big brother, Mu-so Qb 2 is the perfect visual as well as sonic match. It can also be customised with optional replacement grilles in Olive, Terracotta or Peacock colourways.
Mu-so Qb 2 Wireless Streaming Speaker’s compact dimensions pack in 300 Watts of music power, served up to all-new speaker drivers – optimised in conjunction with sister company Focal. Like the bigger Mu-so 2, the Qb now has an upgraded ‘brain’, too: a DSP with more than 10 times more processing power for even greater musical accuracy.

Stream your music in high-resolution quality (Mu-so Qb can handle files up to 32bit/384kHz) via UPnP, or browse millions of songs through AirPlay 2 (including Apple Music), Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Chromecast built-in and Internet Radio. Upgraded Wi-Fi connectivity promises a slicker streaming experience, while Ethernet remains an option if you prefer things hard-wired.

You can also connect devices wirelessly via Bluetooth. Mu-so Qb 2’s USB input, meanwhile, supports music playback from USB drives, while its optical input means you can easily connect your TV and experience enhanced sound quality from your favourite television programmes, films and games.

3 Ways To Multi-Room with the Mu-so Qb 2 Wireless Streaming Speaker

Powerful enough to fill most rooms, Mu-so Qb 2 Wireless Streaming Speaker’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 multi-room 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 multi-room Mu-so Qb 2 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.

The Naim 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, the Mu-so Qb 2 Wireless Streaming Speaker is Roon Ready, too.
