n-Vi is an integrated DVD/CD player, AV
processor, audio preamplifier and five
channel power amplifier with retro-
fittable DAB/FM tuner and Video Scaler
options. Quite a list and quite an
achievement - especially when each
and every element reaches the
performance and subjective standards
that a Naim logo on the front panel
demands. n-Vi is no less than a complete
Naim audio-visual system in a box, and
when partnered with n-SATs, n-CENT and
n-SUB speakers is the heart of perhaps
the best integrated home entertainment
system money can buy.
It might be easier to list the things that
n-Vi can’t do than those it can but even
we fall prey to a little ego massaging
occasionally. So, in no particular order, the
n-Vi can;
•
Play CD, DVD, and DVD-A
(24bit/192kHz) media.
•
Decode the full range Dolby Digital,
DTS, PLII, and PCM audio-visual
programme material.
•
Output 5.1 channels of analogue
audio.
•
Output progressive-scan video in DVI,
RGB, and YPbPr formats and interlaced
video in S-Video and SCART formats.
•
Drive five loudspeakers at 90 Watts into
4 Ohms.
•
Accept, route and decode if required
2 analogue and 2 digital signal inputs.
It’s not often that we get the chance
to incorporate almost everything we
know about very high performance
audio and video in one product. But
then it’s not often that a product like
the n-Vi comes along. Each and
every field of Naim technical
expertise - CD and DVD replay, D to
A conversion, AV processing, audio
preamplification, power supply,
power amplification, electro-
mechanical isolation, user interface
- is represented in the n-Vi. “More
than the sum of its parts” doesn’t
even begin to do it justice.
And Now For Something
Completely
