radio, which grants access to tens of thousands of internet radio stations, the UnitiLite

Naim has a passionate and committed interest in music. This is as true today as it was
at the time of the company's formation in Salisbury, England, over 35 years ago. Enjoyment
of music has driven Naim to design and manufacture the finest range of audio equipment
available. Top engineering principles ensure that all Naim products meet and exceed the
measurable parameters essential for state-of-the-art performance, safety and reliability:
all essential qualities for which Naim is renowned. Measurement alone, however, is not
enough: every product must also deliver the musical performance that the team could not
live without.
Naim quality requires an attention to detail verging on the obsessive: a special and
unique approach to component selection and system design, all within a highly specialised
production environment. Every aspect of a Naim product's design has been considered for
its impact on sound quality. Even small, seemingly insignificant, production techniques
are used, because of the difference they make between delivering a great and an amazing
sound.
Naim's toughest critics are its management and its employees. They have always
believed that being honest is the only way to communicate with their customers - music
lovers and numerous musicians - who regard Naim's products as having no equals in their
respective classes.
Naim does not chase market fashion and will not move from its overriding objective of
achieving consistent musical performance. The company has its own record label, Naim
Label, which specialises in high-quality music recordings, and has moved steadily into the
world of audio streaming, multi-room and in-car audio, introducing the award-winning
NaimUniti all-in-one audio player and a range of multi-room audio products: NaimNet,
designed to bring new customers to the Naim fold without sacrificing Naim's legendary
performance. Naim also announced an exclusive partnership with Bentley Motors in 2008,
with the launch of the Naim for Bentley Premium Audio System, which is available across
all Bentley models.
