This is the first time Naim and Focal are offering complete solutions in the Custom Integration (CI) market, catering for home, maritime and commercial spaces.
Starting with the Uniti Nova PE, this is a high-res audio player and stereo amplifier with 150W per channel of Class D amplification, allowing for even demanding loudspeakers to be powered by this compact box. It also offers music streaming via Tidal, Apple Music, Spotify Connect and Qobuz, with built-in AirPlay 2, Chromecast, UPnP, Roon Ready and aptX Adaptive support.
As for ports, there are Optical TOSLINK, coaxial RCA and BNC for digital inputs, and a second set of RCA outputs for bi-amping or connecting to a subwoofer. The Uniti Nova PE even comes with a ZigBee RF bi-directional remote control that can control the unit even if it’s out of line of sight.
The Naim Uniti Nova PE will be available from Q2 2024 onwards, with a recommended retail price of US$10,000.
Moving on to the CI range, there are three new products, the CI-Uniti 102, which is an all-in-one streamer and amplifier, the CI-NAP 108 is an 8-channel amplifier and lastly, the CI-NAP 101 is a low and high impedance mono power amplifier.
The CI-Uniti 102 is a streamer/amplifier designed to fit into indoor and outdoor spaces, provide amplification and enhance audio from media sources like a TV, gaming console and more. The integrated DSP inside provides full system calibration, allowing it to interconnect with the CI-NAP 108 and CI-NAP 101 units.
The super compact integrated power amplifier provides 150W of power at 8 ohms and there’s multiroom capability for up to 32 rooms with wired and wireless streaming capabilities.
The CI-NAP 108 is a rack-mounted 8-channel power amplifier with 10 RCA inputs and 10 RCA outputs that allow for daisy-chaining to other amplifiers if needed. The CI-NAP 108 has temperature-controlled fans and can even sense when music is playing, with an auto-standby feature kicking in after 20 minutes of idling.
Last but not least, the CI-NAP 101 is a rack-mountable mono power amplifier that can run in either low or high-impedance mode. Paired with the CI-Uniti 102, it’s designed to be used with subwoofers and high-impedance speakers and it can be used in conjunction with audio-video processors.
There are 70/100 amplifier outputs on the rear, with stereo RCA inputs and outputs. In low impedance mode, the CI-NAP 101 can push 500W of power at 8 ohms, while high impedance mode sees 240W of power at 100V.
The CI-Uniti 102 is priced at US$1,499 while the CI-NAP 108 will be going for US$2,999 and the CI-NAP 101 will retail for US$1,499. All three products will be available from Q2 2024 onwards.
