Pre/Power Amplifiers

They're a fanatical bunch, Naim enthusiasts, and they got riled – yes, again – when the highly-developed Naim app for Android and iOS was updated with selected products from the company's French stablemate. Now dubbed the Focal & Naim app, and opening splash screen aside, nothing much has changed [see screenshots].

Once in 'Naim mode' the app offers configuration and control of the company's Uniti, Mu-so and ND-/NS- network products, also bringing several of them together to form a complete multiroom system with extended control (including global or individual volume adjustment). In this guise, it offers complete synchronisation between all the connected devices, so you can walk from room to room without missing anything. The app also reflects the range of inputs on the device(s) being controlled and notifies the user when updates are available for app or hardware. Facilities include a range of colour themes for the app, and the choice of slider or buttons for volume control.
