Previously branded Naim, the Mu-so all-in-one connected speaker is now part of the catalogue of its parent company Focal, with a brand-new Hekla version.
Featuring the same control knob as the Naim Mu-so and Mu-so QB, the Focal Mu-so Hekla is designed with home cinema in mind. To this end, it incorporates Dolby Atmos technology and delivers an immersive sound that can be expanded to 7.1.2 thanks to no fewer than 15 speakers.
The seven front speakers combine three 13 x 6 cm woofers, two 6 cm mid-range speakers and two 25 mm (1-inch) tweeters. On the sides and top, there are two sets of four 7 x 4 cm full-range speakers, all powered by a 40 W Class D amplifier, except for the woofers, which have a power output of up to 60 W each, for a total of 660 W.
If you still find yourself lacking in bass, a pair of RCA output terminals allow you to add a subwoofer, while sources can be integrated via Toslink optical, HDMI eArc or CEC inputs. Ethernet and Wi-Fi are also included, as well as Bluetooth and a Naim Pulse Platform streaming module that is compatible with most apps and services, including UPnP, AirPlay and Google Cast.
For total connectivity in all your rooms, you can manage up to 32 Focal & Naim devices together in multiroom mode using the parent app, which can be downloaded to iOS and Android devices.
Measuring 1 m wide and 29.5 cm deep, the Hekla still requires a stable piece of furniture or installation to support its anodized, brushed and sandblasted aluminum chassis, which weighs a total of 15.5 kg (34.2 Ibs). Designed for rooms up to 40m2, this new Mu-so adapts to any space thanks to its Sphere hybrid mode and ADAPT customization technology.
All that remains is to mention the price, which is the same worldwide depending on the conversion rate: €3 300/$3 600/£3 000.
