Mu-so by Naim, now featuring Spotify Connect

Uncategorised By Sep 09, 2014

Today, Naim Audio confirmed that its new wireless music system, mu-so, will feature Spotify Connect functionality.

 All the power of Spotify, built in

Mu-so can now add native support for Spotify to its long list of music streaming features. Spotify Connect gives premium subscribers the ability to stream millions of songs to mu-so wirelessly via the Spotify app on a mobile device. Mu-so communicates directly with Spotify’s servers, preserving the battery life of the device and leaving it free to open other apps and take calls without interrupting the music.

Naim is working towards introducing streaming services to its wider range of streaming products.

Customers will be able to add a new dimension of colour with Deep Blue, Burnt Orange and Vibrant Red available from selected retailers at launch and direct from the Naim website later this year.

The Naim mu-so will be available at specialist audio retailers, John Lewis and JohnLewis.com, and select Apple stores and apple.com for £895 this autumn.
