1. Getting Started
1.1 Installation
Mu-so and Mu-so Qb are designed to be located either on a
table, a furniture unit or a wall shelf. If a shelf is to be used
be sure that it is able to support the weight.
1.1.1 Mu-so Connections
A connection panel located on the Mu-so underside
incorporates a mains input socket, a wired network socket,
and a TosLink optical digital audio socket intended for the
connection of external digital audio sources; a CD player for
example. The underside connection panel is illustrated in
Diagram 1.
If your Mu-so is to use a wired network connection begin by
connecting a standard Ethernet cable to the network socket.
Otherwise, rst connect Mu-so to a suitable mains supply
using the supplied mains cable.
Note: Mu-so is supplied with a mains cable appropriate
for the territories in which it is sold.
1.1.2 Mu-so Side Panel Features
The Mu-so right-hand side panel, illustrated in Diagram 2,
also incorporates some connection and installation facilities.
These include:
A Wi-Fi set up and factory defaults pin-hole button.
See Section 2.1 for more on Wi-Fi set up, and see
Section 6.6 for more on returning a Mu-so to its default
settings.
A multicolour status indicator. See Section 2 for
information on indicator colours.
A 3.5mm jack analogue audio socket for the
connection of external analogue audio sources.
Note: Mu-so will automatically select its analogue input
when a plug is inserted in the socket.
A USB socket for the connection of USB memory
hardware and iOS audio playback devices.
1.1.3 Mu-so Qb Connections and Installation Features
Mu-so Qb connection and installation facilities can be found
on its rear panel. These include:
A mains input socket.
Note: Mu-so Qb is supplied with a mains cable
appropriate for the territories in which it is sold.
A USB socket for the connection of USB memory
hardware and iOS audio playback devices.
A wired network socket.
A TosLink optical digital audio socket intended for the
connection of external digital audio sources.
A 3.5mm jack analogue audio socket for the
connection of external analogue audio sources.
A Wi-Fi set up and factory defaults pin-hole button. See
section 2.1 for more on Wi-Fi set up, and Section 6.6 for
more on returning Mu-so Qb to its default settings.
A multicolour status indicator. See Section 2 for
information on indicator colours.
The Mu-so Qb connection panel is illustrated in Diagram 3.
Important: Items of any weight placed on the Mu-so or
Mu-so Qb top surface may damage its nish.
Important: Never place any item containing liquid, such
as a vase, a cup or a glass, on the Mu-so or Mu-so Qb
top surface.
Important: Take great care when lifting and carrying
Mu-so, and when accessing the underside connection
sockets. Do not stand Mu-so on its front grille or either
end panel, or invert it fully to stand on its top panel.
Mu-so can be stood temporarily on its rear heatsink
in order to gain access to the underside connection
sockets. Ensure however that the heatsink is protected
from damage.

1.2 Switch On and Standby
Mu-so and Mu-so Qb will immediately switch-on when
connected to a mains supply.
There are two standby modes: standby and deep sleep. In
standby mode network and Bluetooth connections remain
operational to enable Mu-so and Mu-so Qb to “wake
automatically when in receipt of a Naim App control
command or a music stream. In deep sleep mode network
and Bluetooth functions will shut-down in order to reduce
power consumption to a minimum.
To switch Mu-so or Mu-so Qb into standby mode tap
the touch panel Standby icon. Tap the Standby icon to
leave standby mode.
To switch Mu-so or Mu-so Qb into deep sleep mode
touch and hold the touch panel Standby icon, or press
and hold the Mu-so handset Standby button. The
display segment above the Standby icon will ash as
deep sleep mode is engaged. Touch the Standby icon
or handset button again to wake from deep sleep.
Note: If unused for 20 minutes Mu-so and Mu-so Qb
automatically enter standby mode. The auto standby time
can be adjusted via the Naim App Settings menus.

2. Network Connection
In order to play streamed audio les and internet radio
stations Mu-so and Mu-so Qb must be connected to the
internet via a local network router. Connection to the router
may be wired or wireless.
Note: Mu-so is congured by default to communicate
with home networks automatically using the standard
DHCP protocol. Mu-so can be congured to use a xed IP
address via is internal web setup pages. See Section 2.2
for more information.
Note: If your Mu-so has been previously used it is
good practice to return it to its default settings before
attempting to connect it to your network. The factory
default procedure will erase any existing user and network
settings and restore the default iRadio presets. See
Section 6.6 for more information.
The status indicator adjacent to the pin-hole button
illuminates to indicate dierent network and functional
states. The illumination is listed in the following table:
Illumination Network and Functional State
O Deep sleep/o
White Network connected
Orange No network
Orange (ashing) Network connection starting
Purple Wireless connection congured
but network not found
Purple (ashing) Wireless setup mode
Blue Firmware update underway or
unit in recovery mode
Red (ashing) System fault or amplier overload
(contact your retailer or Mu-so
support)
2.1 Wireless Network Connection
In order for Mu-so to connect to the internet via a local
wireless network it must be congured with the wireless
network name (SSID) and password (security key). There
are three dierent methods achieving this. The method
you choose will depend on personal preference and
convenience.
Note: Mu-so is compatible with the 802.11b and 802.11g
Wi-Fi standards.
Note: Mu-so cannot connect to a “hidden” wireless
network.
2.1.1: Wireless Setup Using the Naim App
The Naim App incorporates a wireless setup routine that
will guide you through the process of connecting Mu-so
wirelessly to your local network. If you have not already
downloaded and installed the Naim App you should do so
now. Follow the steps below to implement the Naim App
wireless setup routine.
Ensure that the iOS or Android device on which you
have installed the Naim App is connected to the same
wireless network you wish your Mu-so to use.
Open the Naim App and select Setup new Mu-so.
Follow the on-screen instructions to connect Mu-so to
the wireless network. Diagram 4 illustrates the Naim
App setup page.

Connect Mu-so to your local network router using a
standard Ethernet cable.
After a few moments Mu-so should be available for
streaming on your home network. The Mu-so status
indicator will illuminate white.
Note: Mu-so can be congured to use a static IP address
if required via the Advanced Settings tab on its setup
page. Diagram 8 illustrates the setup page.
