1. Getting Started
1.1 Installation
Mu-so is 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 mu-so’s 13kg (28.7lb) weight.
Important: Items of any weight placed on the mu-so 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 top surface.
Diagram 1 illustrates mu-so located on a shelf and a table.
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 2.
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.
To switch mu-so into standby mode tap the touch panel
Standby icon or press the handset Standby button. To
switch mu-so into deep sleep mode touch and hold the
touch panel Standby icon, or press and hold handset
Standby button.
Note: If mu-so is unused for 20 minutes after waking from
standby or deep sleep it will return to standby mode.
This auto standby time can be adjusted via the Naim app
Settings menus.
1.2 Side Panel Features
The mu-so right-hand side panel, illustrated in Diagram 3,
also incorporates some connection and installation facilities.
These include:
• A pin-hole Wi-Fi Key Sharing and factory defaults
button. See Paragraph 2.1.2 for more on Wi-Fi Key
Sharing and Section 6.6 for more on returning 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 side panel
analogue input when a plug is inserted in the socket.
• A USB socket for the connection of USB memory
hardware and audio playback hardware such as iOS
and Android devices.
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 either with a single mains cable
appropriate for the territory in which it is sold or with a
single mains cable and a single-use localised adaptor.
Mu-so will immediately switch-on in standby mode when
connected to a mains supply.
Mu-so has two standby modes: standby and deep sleep. In
standby mode mu-so network and Bluetooth connections
remain operational to enable it to “wake” automatically
when in receipt of a Naim app control command or a
music stream. In deep sleep mode, mu-so network and
Bluetooth functions will shut-down in order to reduce power
consumption to a minimum.

2. Network Connection
In order to play streamed audio les and internet radio
stations mu-so must be connected to the internet via a local
network. Mu-so can be connected to a local network via
either a wired or wireless connection to a network router.
The following paragraphs describe the procedures for
wireless and wired connection.
Note: Mu-so is congured by default to communicate
with TCP/IP networks automatically using the standard
DHCP protocol. Mu-so can be congured 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 connecting 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 indicator adjacent to the factory defaults button on the
mu-so right-hand side panel illuminates to communicate
dierent network and functional states. The illumination is
listed in the following table:
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 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

are three dierent 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.

Wireless Accessory Conguration enables a wireless
capable product such as mu-so to be congured
automatically to join the same wireless network as the iOS
mobile device. To use Wireless Accessory Conguration
follow the steps below:
• Ensure that the wireless network that your iOS device
is connected to is the one you wish your mu-so to use.
• Ensure mu-so is connected to a mains power supply
and not in standby mode. Ensure no network cable is
connected.
• Using the pin-tool supplied or a straightened paperclip
briey press the mu-so side panel pin-hole button
to enter wireless set up mode. The status indicator
adjacent to the button will ash purple.

scroll down the display. Select the SET UP NEW
AIRPLAY SPEAKER item and follow the steps described.
Diagram 5 illustrates the wi- settings menu.
• The Wireless Accessory Conguration procedure will
now automatically send the network name and security
key that the iOS
device is using to
your mu-so and
set up its wi-
conguration.
2.1.3: Wireless Setup Using iOS Wi-Fi Key Sharing
Mu-so can take advantage of the Wi-Fi Key Sharing feature
incorporated in iOS version 6 or later. Wi-Fi Key Sharing
enables a wireless capable product such as mu-so to
connect via USB to an iOS device and automatically copy
the network name and security key that the device is using.
To use Wi-Fi Key Sharing follow the steps below:
• Ensure that the wireless network that your iOS device
is connected to is the one you wish your mu-so to use.
• Ensure mu-so is connected to a mains power supply
and not in standby mode. Ensure no network cable is
connected.
• Connect the iOS device to the mu-so side panel USB
socket. The iOS device must be switched on and
unlocked.
• Using the pin-tool supplied or a straightened paperclip
briey press the mu-so side panel pin-hole button.
The status indicator adjacent to the button will change
colour and ash.
