Naim Uniti Atom HDMI Streaming System

The Naim Uniti Atom HDMI is a simply stunning all-in-one streaming amplifier, with a machined aluminium case. The heat sinks on both sides, used to dissipate the heat generated by this compact unit, just add to its overall look and style, with a design similar to Naim’s flagship Statement amplifier. The 40-watt amplifier is fed by a large custom toroidal transformer with separate windings for the digital, analogue and power amp sections, so it can drive most bookshelf speakers and even small floorstanding speakers with room to spare.

Incorporating all the wireless connectivity you need, no matter what device you have, it covers all the options with Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in and Bluetooth, along with the Naim app for Apple and Android devices, which incorporates streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL and Qobuz, all built in.

The Uniti Atom also has great connectivity, with an analogue RCA input, a couple of optical inputs and a coaxial digital input, plus USB and an HDMI ARC input to connect to your TV. A preamp output allows either a subwoofer to be added or a power amp as a future upgrade path. This really is a superbly built and great-sounding one-box hi-fi: just add speakers.

Under the Skin of Uniti Atom

The engineers at Naim have gone to extraordinary lengths to maximise the sound quality from such a compact all-in-one player. From the substantial transformer, which ensures that the power supply is always smooth and stable, to the sophisticated, hand-wired analogue and digital circuitry, every element of the design in Uniti Atom has been considered for its effect on sound quality.

Bringing Uniti to Life

Conceived and built from the ground up by Naim’s engineers and designers in Salisbury, England, Uniti remains true to our core design principles. From the finned aluminium heatsinks (inspired by their Statement flagship amplification system) to the brushed black aluminium casing, the new illuminated signature volume control and the beautifully lit base – every minute detail has been considered to deliver a beautiful aesthetic packed with features and technology whilst achieving reference-level sound quality. Uniti is a true masterpiece of industrial design.

Stream Music Your Way

Whichever way you stream your music, the Uniti delivers. With direct access to Spotify Connect (Premium Spotify account required), Tidal and thousands of internet radio stations, you can enjoy near limitless music. Chromecast 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/384kHz 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 Atom offers two other ways to go multiroom. Either go Google or, better still, use the Naim app to link up all your compatible Naim products. The slick 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 enhanced music searching.

Transform Your TV’s Sound

Amongst its many features, the Uniti Atom also 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 or sound base.

The Centre of Your System

As well as HDMI, the Uniti Atom also comes with a wide range of inputs. 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. Three digital inputs are perfect for sources such as a CD/DVD/Blu-ray player, games console and TV set-top box, while the analogue RCA input is ideal for a turntable with a built-in phono stage.

Outputs

As well as a handy headphone output, the Uniti Atom also features a preamp RCA output. This can be used for a wide choice of options, including connecting your choice of active subwoofer, connecting an upgrade power amp or simply using the Uniti Atom as a stand-alone music streamer in your existing hi-fi.
