Naim Audio
British Hi-Fi Engineering — Statement Amplification & Streaming
Request System DesignOverview
Naim Audio has been at the forefront of British hi-fi engineering since 1973, crafting amplifiers and streaming systems that define reference-grade musical reproduction.
The Naim Statement amplification system represents the pinnacle of solid-state design — 746 watts per channel through a dual-mono architecture that weighs over 200kg. For streaming, the Uniti platform delivers Naim's signature sound in elegant, connected enclosures.
Peters Audio Video specifies Naim for listening environments where musical fidelity is the primary objective — dedicated music rooms, studies, and primary living spaces designed around the listening experience.

Specification Review
Choosing Naim Audio for Your Home
Compare the specific equipment proposed for your rooms, not the brand name alone. Naim Audio families discussed on this page include Statement, Uniti Platform, Classic Series, Mu-so. Availability, model specifications, firmware and third-party integration support need confirmation before a final design.
- Room fit: Request a model-level schedule showing where each component will be used, its mounting and power requirements, and any architectural compromises.
- Integration evidence: Identify the supported connection or driver for each required function. Separate physical compatibility from actual command support and test behavior when internet access is unavailable.
- Complete scope: Compare equipment, infrastructure, configuration, commissioning and documentation together. Confirm subscriptions, licenses, warranty terms and ongoing support separately in the proposal.
Useful project details: Your listening areas, preferred music services, ceiling details and whether speakers should be visible or concealed.

How We Install Naim Audio
Discovery & Design
Every Naim Audio installation begins with a comprehensive consultation. We evaluate your home's architecture, existing infrastructure, and lifestyle needs to develop a detailed system proposal with room-by-room specifications and control interface design.
Architectural Coordination
For new builds and renovations, our team coordinates directly with architects and builders during the design phase — ensuring Naim Audio infrastructure (conduit runs, power, equipment closets) is properly planned before walls close.
Professional Installation
Installation requirements depend on the selected Naim Audio equipment: mounting, cabling, ventilation, power and configuration are coordinated with the project scope. Documentation records the installed components and relevant connections.
Calibration & Commissioning
After installation, we verify the specified Naim Audio functions and system connections. Applicable audio, video or control settings are commissioned for the room, with owner orientation and documentation appropriate to the equipment.
