Product Description
Naim’s Mu-so 2nd Generation Bentley Edition Wireless Speaker System has been exclusively styled by Bentley. It is based on the multi-award-winning Mu-so 2nd generation wireless speaker system. This stand-alone audio system offers the characteristic Naim sound. Moreover, the latest music-streaming technology has been merged with exquisite build quality. Additionally, TV sound can be listened to via the built-in HDMI socket. Exclusive Bentley design features include a lacquered wood finish, copper colour accents, and a subtly lit base. Additionally, the speaker grill is specially woven. Finally, Bentley’s signature diamond pattern surrounds the illuminated control dial.
Classic Bentley design
The Mu-so 2nd Generation Bentley Edition is the first Naim Mu-so wireless speaker system to have a wooden finish. The cabinet is made from Ayous an attractive and sustainable African Hardwood. Additionally, the wood is stained and then layered with several coats of lacquer. The result is a lovely dark and dramatic patina. Moreover, the heatsink has a copper tint and the unit sits on an exclusively smoked plinth. Finally, the volume dial lights to the touch and has the classic Bentley lattice design surrounding it.
High performance DSP engine
The new multicore Digital Signal processor (DSP)is used by all of the Mu-so 2nd Generation wireless speaker systems. It is a major upgrade on the original engine providing 2000 MIPS(Million Instructions Per Second) compared to the original single-core 150MIPS DSP. This can enhance the detail in the music. Another useful feature is the limiter. This is only active at high volumes. The limiter keeps the drivers under control and is designed to maintain clarity and increase reliability.
Enhanced features
The Mu-so 2nd Generation Bentley Edition Wireless Speaker System features Naim’s peerless and unique music-streaming platform. This is used in all of their systems from wireless speakers to the top-of-the-range players. You can listen to music services such as Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, and Apple Music. Additionally, you can connect your devices via Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay, or Chromecast. Moreover, Ultra-high-resolution streaming is supported, at up to 32-bit/384kHz. The device is also Roon-ready. Finally, an HDMI socket is provided that will connect the sound from a TV for an enhanced experience from films, and games.
High powered amplifier
The Mu-so 2nd Generation Bentley Edition amplifier is a powerful 450-watt, class D unit. The amplifier drives an array of speaker drivers that can deliver incredible performance. The drivers are placed behind an acoustically transparent woven grille. Moreover, Naim and Focal have worked together to further improve the sound. As a result, the Mu-so 2nd Generation Bentley Edition has won many awards.
Why class D?
The Mu-so 2nd Generation Bentley Edition Wireless Speaker System actually has six 75 Watt amplifiers that drive stereo 3-way speakers. Class D is claimed to be 90% efficient and is essentially a digital system. The output consists of a series of pulses. This is known as PCM or Pulse Code Modulation. The closer together the pulses are the higher the output. The audio is recovered by using a low pass filter on the output
