Naim Audio SuperUniti

High-end audio in a single box

There is a convention in the high-end audio world that only separates can deliver true high-end performance. Well, not anymore. The NaimUniti has demonstrated just how much audio performance and versatility can be contained within a single, elegantly styled box.

Now, the SuperUniti expands the concept and breaks the rules to play in the big leagues. “All-in-one” doesn’t just mean an integrated amplifier and a couple of built-in sources. The SuperUniti can truly do it all. Take a deep breath, because the list of its talents is long. The SuperUniti is a built-in wireless UPnP network stream player, a USB audio player, an iPod and iPhone dock, an internet radio, a DAB radio, an FM radio, a ten-input digital and analog preamplifier, a digital-to-analog converter, and an 80W stereo power amplifier. And so you don’t lose track of time while listening - which can easily happen - it also has an alarm clock. Out of breath?

The SuperUniti may well possess all the audio versatility you’ll ever need, but audio versatility is nothing without musical talent, and that’s where four decades of Naim audio expertise come in. Not only can the SuperUniti do it all, it does it with brilliant clarity and breathtaking emotion. Every musical source, from internet radio to analog inputs to digital streams, is delivered with genuine musical quality. Every drop of music is extracted from each data stream - no matter where it comes from.

Integrated into life

Integration is a theme that continues right through to the SuperUniti’s place in the home. Its network and wireless capabilities mean it can integrate with other UnitiSystem products, like the UnitiServe (a hard-disk music player capable of ripping CDs) or the UnitiQute (a compact stream player), to create a multi-room home audio system.

The SuperUniti also integrates with a busy life. It can be controlled from the buttons on its front panel, from a conventional remote control, or wirelessly via the free n-Stream app for iPhone and iPad. And if you’re not ready to give up your CDs just yet, the SuperUniti will connect to your existing player thanks to its system automation capabilities to allow integrated control of the CD player via N-Stream. Access to this much sonic power has never been so simple.

It’s all about the music

Integration, versatility, technology, streaming, networking - it would be easy to lose sight of the music. That is, easy until you start listening. The SuperUniti is Naim high-end audio that has the power to move you and give you goosebumps. Just contained within a single elegant box.
