Product Portfolio the Naim Audio Difference Product Portfolio The Naim Audio difference Creating the world’s most advanced audio technology starts and ends with the music we all love. We are proud of our engineering expertise and handcrafted manufacturing. But, above all, we are music lovers, dedicated to bringing you the best possible listening experience. We’ve been doing it every single day since our founder, Julian Vereker MBE (1945 - 2000), built the first Naim amplifier in 1973. He was driven by nothing more than a desire to experience music in his home as it was when he heard it live. This is our founding belief, and though the methods we use to achieve this have and will continue to change, our ultimate aim will remain - to create a deeper more immersive music experience. 02 Naim Audio Timeline 1973 2011 Naim Audio Officially Founded Focal & Naim Group Naim Audio was officially incorporated in United by our passion for perfect sound, Naim 1973 with Julian Vereker and his co-founder and Focal joined forces in 2011 to create a new Shirley Clarke as Directors European leader in the audio industry 1983 2014, 2016 NAIT Integrated Amplifier Mu-so Wireless Music System This iconic little integrated amp sounded quite Naim Audio launches its first complete unlike any other integrated of its day and set a wireless music system, Mu-so, offering trend for so-called ‘super integrateds’ real versatility and performance alongside multiroom capability 1991 2017 The CDS CD Player Revolutionary New Streaming Platform Like so many Naim Audio products, the design Featured in our range of Uniti all-in-one of our first CD player, the CDS, flew in the players, high-end network players and now face of conventional wisdom our new Mu-so range, it is extremely powerful and effortlessly adapts to new technologies 1993 2018 Naim Records is Born Princess Yachts Partnership Created by Naim founder Julian Vereker, Naim Two world-renowned British brands partner Records combined his love for music with his together to rewrite the rulebook on acoustics quest to deliver the best sound quality, for the luxury marine sector from the studio to the listening room 2000 2019 NAP 500 Power Amplifier Mu-so 2nd Generation After several years in development, the new Following on from the overwhelming success flagship Naim Audio power amplifier was born of the Mu-so and Mu-so Qb wireless music and with it the new industrial design aesthetic system, Mu-so has evolved with a raft of newly that would redefine Naim Audio for the added features and improved sound quality 21st century 2008 2020 Naim for Bentley Naim Mu-so for Bentley Special Edition Two brands with a distinguished British Classic Bentley styling cues meet class-leading heritage and a passion for engineering Naim audio engineering and signature excellence share an 18-month development Focal speaker drivers in this new premium project to produce the Naim for Bentley wireless music-streaming system in-car system Let the voice of Naim take you inside the music ...

  • The Ancient Audiophile's Quest for the Ultimate Jbl Home System
    THE ANCIENT AUDIOPHILE'S QUEST FOR THE ULTIMATE JBL HOME SYSTEM Do you long for the old days--do you fondly remember the JBL "wallbanger" sound? Knocking that hideous art-deco kitchen clock off the wall with Mercury's Antal Dorati recording of the 1812 and evoking ooh's and ahh's from dumbstruck friends who couldn't believe their ears on hearing your massive 60 watts per channel and the sound of Bob Prescott's "Cartoons in Stereo?" In 1961, those of us who could capriciously defy our wives or parents and spend $355.80 plus the outrageous $10-$12 cost of high-grade plywood lumber to build our own 14 cubic-foot cabinets, lived in bliss with the reverently held belief that a pair of D130's and 075 bullets was as good as a speaker system ever needed to be, that recorded music could never challenge such a system, and that some day if we ever got a huge tax return we might think about adding a pair of 175DLH's to make the ultimate system. We were the audio elite--the cognoscente who held court for those who thought we were geniuses because we could plug together a Mac 60 and a preamp and actually set the correct disc equalization for any one of the many individual record company disc cutting EQ's used back then--to the chagrin of non-engineer music lovers. If you're like me, a child of the fifties, chances are your memory of those early high-efficiency systems nags at you and makes you wonder what in the world all the fuss about "digital-ready" speaker systems is all about.

  • Der Haaseffekt Und Die Phantasievolle Unrichtige
    Der Haaseffekt und die "phantasievolle" (unrichtige) Auslegung in Audio-Büchern Der Name "Haaseffekt" geht auf die grundlegenden Untersuchungen von Helmut Haas aus dem Jahre 1951 zurück: "Über den Einfluss eines Einfach-Echos auf die Hörsamkeit von Sprache", Acustica 1, 1951, S. 49. Es ist die Bezeich- nung für bestimmte Gesetzmäßigkeiten bei der Trading-Lokalisation als Auslenkwirkung eines Direktsignals (Primär- signal) im linken Lautsprecher und einer einzelnen (!) Reflexion (zeitverzögertes Sekundärsignal) im rechten Lautspre- cher, die im Pegel so kompensiert (!) wird bis wieder quasi die anfängliche Centerlokalisation verbreitert erscheint. Das hat absolut nichts mit unserer Stereotechnik zu tun und Panpots kommen bei Haas überhaupt nicht vor - nur hart L und hart R. http://www.sengpielaudio.com/WasSagtDieLiteraturZumTrading.pdf In seinem Buch schreibt Bob Katz "Mastering Audio - the art of the science" - Seite 234 bis Seite 236: Courtesy of Digido - Digital Domain-Mastering Audio - Bob Katz - http://www.digido.com In folgenden Text haben sich deutliche Falschaussagen zum Haas-Effekt eingeschlichen; zum Haas-Effekt siehe auch: http://www.sengpielaudio.com/WasSagtDieLiteraturZumTrading.pdf Adding Depth in Mixing and Mastering The Haas Effect The Haas effect can help increase definition, depth and fullness without causing masking problems. Haas says that very short echoes (less than about 5 ms) produce an ambiguous (confused) image. However, echoes from about 10 through approximately 40 milliseconds after the direct sound become fused with the direct sound - only a loudness enhancement occurs. This is what happens in a real room with the earliest wall and floor reflections, Since the velocity of sound is approximately one foot per millisecond, 40 milliseconds corresponds to a wall that's 20 feet distant (assuming a flat wall perpendicular to the angle of the direct sound).

  • Pinnacle P1 High Fidelity Audiophile Earphone User Manual
    Z P1 HIGH FIDELITY AUDIOPHILE IN-EAR HEADPHONES Thank you for choosing the MEE audio Pinnacle P1 High Fidelity In-Ear Headphones. The Pinnacle P1 is a high-impedance in-ear headphone designed for audiophiles and music professionals and tuned to deliver the highest levels of resolution and refinement. While a headphone amplifier is not required to enjoy the Pinnacle P1, the audio hardware in some phones, tablets, and computers is not designed with high-impedance headphones in mind and using a dedicated audio source or amplifier instead can make the difference between a great listening experience and an outstanding one. The superb sound quality and resolution of high-end headphones such as the Pinnacle P1 are also more pronounced when listening to recordings in CD (or better) quality. To experience the full potential of the P1, we recommend avoiding music that has undergone excessive dynamic range compression or been digitally compressed into low-bitrate formats. We hope you enjoy the Pinnacle P1 and wish you happy listening! Package Contents Pinnacle P1 audiophile in-ear headphones High-fidelity silver-plated stereo audio cable Headset cable with microphone and remote Comply T-200 memory foam eartips (3 pairs) Silicone eartips (6 pairs) ¼” (6.3mm) stereo adapter Premium carrying case Shirt clip User manual 1 Configuring for Your Ears An airtight seal between the earpieces and your ear canals is required for your Pinnacle P1 earphones to deliver the level of sound quality they are engineered for.

  • + Nakamichi Cassette Equalization: the Standard View
    + Nakamichi Cassette Equalization: The Standard View Frequency (Hz) Whenwe introduced the Nakamichi 1000 in 1973, we took the audiophile world by surprise. No one had believed that a "three-head'' cassette deck was feasible; no one had envisioned a cassette recorder capable of such extraordinary bandwidth. Shortly thereafter, a rumor began to spread that Nakamichi acheived its remarkable results by adopting a "non-standard'~qualization-that cas- settes recorded on a Nakamichi deck were "incompatible" with those recorded on competing equipment. To correct this misconception, Nakamichi issued Technical Bulletin 2 on the subject of Playback Equalization. In that paper, we demonstrated quite clearly that Nakamichi decks adhered precisely to the Philips standard (4th revision, October 1968) and that the majority of test tapes then on the market, in fact, failed to meet the requirements of the standard. (Reprints of this Technical Bulletin are available upon request.) Despite this effort to "clear the air many audiophiles persisted in the erroneous assumption that Nakamichi cassette recorders were "non-standard:' Recently, several excellent articles have appeared on the subject of "standard" cassette equali- zation, and we have reprinted two of these in this brochure. But the impetus for the brochure came from a Letter to the Editor of Modern Recording & Music from a reader concerned about the compatibility of Nakamichi recorders. We were graciously offered a chance to reply, a reprint of which also is included herein. Interestingly, we soon received a copy of a letter from a leading tape mariufacturer independently substantiating the points we had made and confirming our contention regarding early test tapes.

  • Fundamentals of HIGH FIDELITY
    No.226 fundamentals of HIGH FIDELITY by H. BURSTEIN a RIDER publication 1. contents of a high-fidelity system • High fidelity is often associated with the purchase of a number of separate audio components and their assembly by the owner. This does not necessarily have to be the case, although it was true in the early days of high fidelity (prior to the 1950's). At that time, the really good equip­ ment available at reasonable prices existed in the form of separate com­ ponents, such as an FM tuner, a power amplifier, a speaker, etc. Today it is possible to buy the complete electronic portion of the system on one chassis, so that it is merely necessary to run two wires to the speaker in order to have an operating high-fidelity setup. If a phonograph, tape recorder, or TV set is to be incorporated, one cable goes from each of these units to the electronic center. For those reluctant even to connect a few wires and mount the equip­ ment in a cabinet, there are audio establishments that will connect all the components of the customer's choice and ensconce them in a cabinet for him. It is even possible to avoid choosing separate components by buying a packaged unit containing equipment preselected by the manufacturer and housed in a specially designed cabinet. The purchaser selects accord­ ing to how the entire assembly sounds to his ear. For this reason, the fol- 2 FUNDAMENTALS OF HIGH FIDELITY lowing discussion does not seek to imply that purchase of separate com­ ponents is the only way to go about bringing high fidelity into the home.
