3. Bluetooth Connection
In addition to playing streamed audio via a local network,
Mu-so and Mu-so Qb can play audio over a Bluetooth
wireless connection from appropriately equipped playback
devices.
Mu-so is congured by default with an “open” Bluetooth
connection so does not require “pairing” with a specic
playback device. To connect to a Bluetooth playback device
open the playback device Bluetooth setup page and select
Mu-so BT XXXX or Mu-so Qb BT XXXX in the list of available
devices. After a short delay Mu-so will be available to the
audio apps on the device for playback selection.
Note: Bluetooth wireless connections have a relatively
limited range. A maximum of around 10 metres is typical
in domestic environments, however physical obstructions
in the transmission path may result in reduced range.
Note: The default Mu-so network and Bluetooth name
incorporates the last four characters of the unique MAC
address printed on a label on the underside of each unit
adjacent to the mains input socket.
Bluetooth connection can be switched to a secure format
via the Settings menu of the Naim App. A secure Bluetooth
connection means that connected devices need to be
specically “paired” in order to stream audio. To switch to
secure Bluetooth connection follow the steps below:
• Open the Naim App settings menu and select Input
Settings > Bluetooth Security. Select Bluetooth
Security “on”.
• Touch and hold the Mu-so touch panel input icon until
the Bluetooth icon begins to blink.
• Open your Bluetooth playback device Bluetooth
settings page and select “Mu-so-XXXX”.
Your Mu-so and playback device will now be securely
paired. No other Bluetooth device will be able to connect to
Mu-so unless it is similarly paired.
Note: If multiple devices are paired, Mu-so will play from
the rst device from which it receives a stream. If you
wish to stream from a dierent paired device, the rst
device must be disconnected.
Note: Up to eight Bluetooth devices can be paired with

Mu-so simultaneously. If a ninth device is paired the oldest
paired device will be deleted.
Note: Mu-so can be forced to disconnect and delete a
paired Bluetooth device via the Naim App settings menus.
Diagram 9 illustrates Mu-so Bluetooth setup on an Android
mobile device. Bluetooth setup on an iOS device is similar.
The following Section 3 paragraphs are equally
applicable to both Mu-so and Mu-so Qb.
