About the Naim Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation

Ralph Graves

A streaming speaker for audiophiles

Naim Audio has upped their wireless music game with the redesigned Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation. This compact, cube-shaped speaker offers intuitive wireless streaming with app-based control from your smartphone or tablet. And when connected to your network via an Ethernet cable, it can play even higher-resolution music files than the original Mu-so Qb. That includes downloads from HDtracks, TIDAL's high-res Masters tier, and other streaming services.

Listening notes from Crutchfield writer Eric Angevine

"We recently set up a multi-zone system featuring Naim products in our Vendor Training Room, with the Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation as our featured Zone 1 player. Over the course of a week, Crutchfield employees were encouraged to test out the speaker's performance and ease of use, and I was there for some of the listening sessions.

Several colleagues asked me 'Is it supposed to look like that?' as they examined the Qb's unique wrap-around grille. The answer is 'yes' — The Qb's attractive 3D 'wave' design is an intentional aesthetic choice, and one I rather like. First-time users were also rather enamored of the clever controls on top of the cube — the large round knob can be physically turned to raise or lower volume, and it's also a motion-sensitive touchscreen that displays more control buttons. 

But enough about the Qb's looks. It also sounds dynamite. The Qb was the smallest speaker we included in our demo, but it produced a rich, robust soundstage. If I were building a Naim multi-zone system at home, I'd probably use the Uniti Star in my living room, but the Qb would be ideal for placing in a bedroom or home office."

— Eric Angevine, Crutchfield Copywriter

Redesigned speakers for optimal performance

The Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation features a pair of redesigned micro-fiber tweeters and midrange speakers. The speaker array is angled for full, spacious sound. The redesigned bass driver is reinforced by two passive radiators and optimized by DSP (digital signal processing) technology for deep, clean low-frequency output.

Each speaker is powered by its own amplifier, for minimal cross-interference and clear, accurate sound.

Compatible with Apple AirPlay 2

Built-in Apple AirPlay 2 technology lets you stream audio directly from your iPhone®, iPad®, or Mac® computer. That includes soundtracks from YouTube® videos and Netflix movies.

If you subscribe to Apple Music®, you can do even more. Use Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV 4K to control Apple Music with voice commands. Tell Siri what selection or playlist to play — and which compatible Naim speakers or components you want it to play through.

Multi-room audio with the Naim app

Download the free Naim control app for your smartphone or tablet, and you have even more options. You can control up to five Naim components to create a multi-room audio system. Group your connected speakers so that the same song plays throughout the house, or only on certain speakers. You can have every speaker accessing a different source and playing a different song. Build playlists with the app, and browse thousands of internet radio stations.

Stream music with Chromecast built-in

The Mu-So Qb 2nd Generation also has Google Chromecast built-in. You can control it through the Google Home app downloaded to your smartphone or tablet. You can make your Naim speaker part of a wireless multi-room audio system with other Chromecast built-in speakers and components.

Play music from Spotify®, TIDAL, Pandora®, and Google Play Music. Enjoy internet radio from TuneIn and iHeartRadio. Chromecast built-in can also play music directly from the cloud, including high-resolution audio files up to 24-bit/96kHz.

Roon-compatible for serious music lovers

Roon is a subscription digital music player you download to your smartphone, tablet, or computer. It gives you multi-room audio playback for all your Chromecast-compatible devices. Roon also accesses your digital music collection from your Apple iTunes® library or NAS drive.

It also works with your TIDAL subscription. Roon lets you dive deep into your music, showing artist bios, photos, reviews, and lyrics. It can also suggest other artists and songs based on your selections, making it easy to discover new music you'll enjoy.

Angled Speaker Array: The Naim Mu-so Qb 2 incorporates five drivers, offset and angled perfectly to create exceptional soundstage imaging. In this five speaker arrangement there are two 1" microfiber dome tweeters, two 2.5" midrange drivers, and a 5.75" x 3" oval woofer that deliver clear high frequencies, detailed midrange, and rich bass performance. Two side-firing pistonic passive 5.8125" x 3.375" oval bass radiators work alongside the custom-made woofer for even lower bass frequency reproduction.

  • Custom Built Tweeters: Microfiber soft-dome tweeters were selected for their stiffness and dampening qualities.
  • Custom Made Midrange Drivers: The custom midrange drivers provide crystal clear speech and power vocals. They've been carefully positioned to evenly disperse sound.
  • Mono-Woofer + Dual Bass Radiators: The Mu-so Qb 2 pairs a mono subwoofer with two side-firing bass radiators for deep, accurate bass response from a compact speaker system.

DSP Controlled Amplification: The Naim Mu-so Qb 2 can generate an incredible 300 watts of room-filling sound. Each tweeter and midrange driver is driven by a 50W Class D amplifier, while the bass woofer is powered by 100W Class D amplifier. The Mu-so Qb 2 also utilizes an advanced multicore digital signal processor (DSP) that provides over 13x the performance of the previous single core processor for superior sound accuracy. In addition, the Mu-so Qb 2 incorporates Room Compensation and Loudness control to get the best performance out of the speaker system in any room at any volume level.

  • Room Compensation: Room Compensation enables adjustment of the Mu-so Qb 2's tonal balance to compensate for the proximity of walls and other large surfaces. If speaker system is placed on a shelf, for example, tonal adjustment can be useful in reducing the bass boost that naturally results from such a location.
  • Loudness: Loudness applies a bass boost that decreases as volume is increased. By compensating for the ear's reduced bass sensitivity at low volume levels, loudness compensation can make low volume listening more satisfying

Premium Aluminum Enclosure: The Naim Mu-so Qb 2 features a premium aluminum casing in a new burnished grey finish. Both the cabinet bracing and baffle moulding have been redesigned for improved rigidity, which suppresses and controls vibrations. The distinctive heat-sink fins are more compact, while still being ultra-effective, and continuing to feature Naim patented technology that discreetly incorporates the WiFi antenna.

Multiroom Ready: The Mu-so Qb 2 works brilliantly on its own or as part of a multiroom music setup. There are three easy ways to create a multiroom audio system in your home.

  • Naim App: Combine it with other networked Naim products (including 1st and 2nd Generation Mu-so and Mu-so Qb) via the Naim app (for Apple iOS 9.3+ and Android OS 5.0+). Up to five Naim streaming products can be synced together.
  • AirPlay 2: Pair it with other AirPlay 2-compatible wireless speakers via the Apple Home app on your Apple iOS device.
  • Chromecast: Pair it with other Chromecast speakers and devices via groups controlled by the Google Home app on your Apple iOS or Android OS device.

Mounting Options: The Mu-so Qb 2 wireless speaker is designed to be located either on a table, a furniture unit, or a wall shelf. If a shelf is to be used, be sure that it is able to support the full weight (12.34 lbs) if the speaker system. The Mu-so Qb 2 does not provide a bracket, key-hole slots, or threaded inserts to wall-mount the speaker system.

Variety of Sources

Wired or Wireless Network Connectivity: The Naim Mu-so Qb 2 is outfitted with a RJ-45 Ethernet  jack (10/100Mbps) and features built-in 2.4/5GHz Dual-Band WiFi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) for a wired or wireless connection to your home's network. Either connection allows you to connect to your home's network router and internet provider for access to select online music services, UPnP music servers, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay 2, and Roon.

  • Tidal: The Tidal lossless streaming service is integrated into the system for an immersive, high-quality sound experience.

Q
The description says that it is limited to 48khz over wifi. What is the best way to get above that while still having multi room audio?
nato  Feb 25, 2024

A
When using Naim options, hardwiring with an ethernet connection would provide the highest resolution, Nato. If that is not possible and you need to use Wi-Fi in your ecosystem, using products that provide higher sample rates through Wi-fi is the best move. Check out the Bluesound PULSE 2i below. Bluesound can deliver 24-bit/192K over Wi-fi and has many products that incorporate into the ecosystem for a ton of flexibility! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_813PLSE2IB/Bluesound-PULSE-2i-Black.html
