5. Control
Mu-so and Mu-so Qb can be controlled from either their
touch panel and rotary control, the supplied remote control
handset (not Mu-so Qb) or the Naim App. The Naim App
oers a comprehensive set of control and setup facilities
and we recommend that before you begin to use your Mu-so
or Mu-so Qb you download and install the app on your iOS
or Android device. The Naim App can be found easily in
both the iTunes App Store and Google Play Store.
The three control interfaces are described in the following
paragraphs.
5.1 The Touch Panel and Rotary Control
The touch panel display and rotary control enable selection
of inputs and control of volume. Illumination display around
the rotary control also indicates startup, streaming and
operational processes.
To begin, touch the display Standby icon to wake Mu-so
from standby. The touch panel, illustrated in Diagrams 12 to
20, incorporates the following control features:
• Audio playback touch icons across the centre of the
panel enable selection of play, pause, previous and
next.
Note: Mu-so audio playback controls will only operate on
USB and streaming audio sources and only once play has
been initiated from the Naim App.
• Above the playback icons are icons that illuminate to
indicate the identity of a currently playing stream.
• In the lower half of the touch panel, radio and input
touch icons indicate and enable the selection of the
iRadio and local input sockets (analogue, USB and
digital).
Note: AirPlay, Bluetooth, Spotify
®
Connect and TIDAL
streams cannot be selected from the touch panel but
are selected automatically when Mu-so is in receipt of
a stream. Touch panel icons indicate the selection of
AirPlay, Spotify
®
, Bluetooth and UPnP™ streams.
Note: There is no TIDAL icon on the Mu-so touch panel.
• Around the circumference of the touch panel are
eleven indicator segments that illuminate to indicate
volume level, radio preset selection and local input
selection.
The iRadio input is selected by touching the radio icon.
Mu-so will initially play the last radio station selected. If
this is one of the ve Mu-so radio presets, one of the ve
upper circumference segments will illuminate. Subsequent
touches of the radio icon will select the next iRadio preset.
Note: iRadio station browsing and preset management
functions are only available using the Naim App.
When one of the Mu-so local inputs is selected by touching
the input icon, one of the three upper circumference
segments will illuminate to indicate selection of either the
analogue input, digital input or USB input. Subsequent
touches of the input icon will select the next local input.
Note: Mu-so will automatically select its analogue input
when a connection plug is inserted in the socket.
Note: While the Mu-so USB input can be selected from
the touch panel, audio le browsing and selection
functions are only available using the Naim App.
• The metallic outer section of the touch panel rotates to
adjust volume. While volume adjustment is underway
the circumference indicators illuminate progressively
to indicate volume level.
