Product Information
”As complete and convincing an argument for one-box convenience as you’ll hear.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
The one-box system without compromise
Shining brightly as one of Naim’s top one-box solutions, the Naim Uniti Nova delivers outstanding sound quality and flagship connectivity. Featuring an upgraded amplifier section, it’s not only more powerful than the Star and Atom but more musically dynamic and detailed too. Add further enhanced connectivity, plus a world class streaming system and you have one of the most impressive one-box music solutions available. Just add speakers for incredible sound.
Award-winning Naim sound quality
Like all Naim hi-fi, the Uniti Nova is engineered to the highest standards. Where this top-end model stands out is in its improved amplifier section. Compared to the Atom and Star models, it has a larger toroidal power transformer for effortless, smooth-flowing power. It uses the highest quality discrete components and superior isolation, helping to reduce distortion and maximise musical detail.
Mighty power
‘Oversized’ by any hi-fi standards and massive compared to most one-box systems, the Nova’s toroidal power supply provides serious weight – both physically and in terms of the sound. Combined with high spec capacitors and other premium components, it means that the Nova not only goes loud, but also easily drives less efficient speakers, giving you a wider choice of suitable options.
Ultimate music streamer
With Naim’s award-winning music-streaming platform at its heart, the Uniti Nova delivers the finest audio. Developed by 25 engineers, over three years and featured in their flagship ND555 streamer, nothing competes for ease of use and quality. Simply download the Focal & Naim app and take control of all your music-streaming needs.
Stream music your way
Whichever way you stream your music, the Uniti delivers. With direct access to Qobuz Connect and Spotify Connect (premium accounts may be required), Tidal and thousands of Internet radio stations, you can enjoy near limitless music. Google Cast is built in, seamlessly linking to hundreds of supporting apps, such as Deezer, Qobuz and SoundCloud. If you prefer to stream within your own network, UPnP (Universal Plug n’ Play) is also supported – right up to High Resolution 32 bit/384 kHz files.
AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth
Stream music from your Apple device or iTunes with AirPlay 2 and you’ll not only hear your music library or favourite music service but also take advantage of Apple’s multiroom system. Alternatively, for a quick and easy link for anyone in the room, link a smartphone by Bluetooth and share the music instantly.
Multiroom magic
As well as Apple’s AirPlay 2, the Uniti Nova offers two other ways to go multiroom. Either go Google or, better still, use the Focal & Naim app to link up all your compatible Naim products. The slick Focal & Naim app then lets you listen to the same music all around your home or different music in different rooms. The latest Uniti range is also Roon Ready for multi-brand music streaming.
Transform your TV’s sound
Amongst its many features, the Uniti Nova comes with an HDMI ARC socket. This is the ideal connection for a TV, giving your TV the potential for a huge boost in sound. Now you can get a massive upgrade to your TV’s sound as well as music playback, without the need for a separate soundbar.
Flagship connectivity
The Uniti Nova comes with the most comprehensive range of input connections. Twin USB sockets (front and rear) are ideal for connecting temporary and permanent media devices. You can store up to 20,000 tracks to a local USB connected device, making this the ideal way to access your digital music library. Four digital inputs are perfect for sources such as a DVD/Blu-ray player, games console and TV set-top box. Two 5-pin DIN and two RCA phono inputs connect a further four line level sources.
Outputs
Preamp outputs fitted to the Nova model include both RCA phono and 4-pin DIN variations. The DIN socket is ideal for connecting to a dedicated Naim power amp and boosting the power and quality to the next level. The RCA phonos connect to a wider range of other power amp brands. You can also use the phono RCA phono outputs to connect to your choice of active subwoofer. For private listening, there’s also a 3.5mm headphone socket.
Exquisite design
Like all the Uniti range, the Uniti Nova is a delight to use, even without the control app. The precision volume control is based on the mega-bucks Statement amp and is a joy to use. Offering ultra-smooth rotation and clear visual segment lighting, it’s probably the volume control you’ll be using the most. Typical of Naim’s attention to detail, the volume control also incorporates the Bluetooth antenna for a seamless style.
Full colour display
Featuring a full-colour display, the Uniti Nova provides rich images of artwork and content. The comprehensive display also shows input information, music metadata and more. Fitted with proximity sensors, the screen ‘wakes’ as you approach.
For the very best in one-box audio, the Naim Uniti Nova shines brightest.
