Compact Design and superb sound from an amp that punches above its weight
Naim’s beloved Nait is a musical performer of real note. There’s a long Naim tradition of the NAIT Integrated Amplifier punching above its weight. It began with the original NAIT in 1983 and continues now with the NAIT 5i. The NAIT 5i takes all that’s best about the tradition, and all that’s best about its 5 Series companions.
Features:
The most powerful and best sounding NAIT ever 50W continuous output into 8-Ohm loads, 500W peak into 1-Ohm. Zinc and aluminium anti-resonance casework. DIN and RCA phono inputs. Can be used with a wide range of interconnect and loudspeaker cables. Programmable unity-gain audio-visual input. NARCOM remote control handset. The NAIT 5i delivers fifty Watts into real loudspeaker loads, each Watt with the legendary Naim rhythmic drive and musical integrity. Entry level it may be, but the music it makes is detailed, engaging and recognisably Naim. It borrows many of the latest Naim amplifier innovations to become the finest sounding integrated ever to carry the logo.
Versatility is vital for an entry level amplifier. The Nait 5i makes integration with existing systems easy by incorporating phono socket inputs alongside the traditional DIN sockets, and offers the possibility of use with a wide range of speaker cable types. Integration with audio visual systems is handled through a programmable “unity gain” input. The 5i is intuitive in use too. A true plug and play product.
The 5i’s construction and aesthetic borrow directly from the acclaimed 5 Series. It features zinc die-casting, combined with aluminium extrusions and covers, which together result in a rigid case that offers great immunity to the effects of external vibration.
The NAIT 5i establishes a new entry-level reference point of natural musical reproduction, flexibility and reliability. Specifications Analogue inputs 4 Input sensitivities 225mV, 20kOhm Output level, tape 225mV, 100 Ohm Power output (into 8 Ohms) 50W per channel Overload margin, all inputs, all audio frequencies 35dB Mains supply 115V, 230V Dimensions (H x W x D) 70 x 432 x 301mm Finish Black
This latest derivative of the Nait has been improved considerably and it is clearly audible.
The Nait is back with a vengeance.
