Naim has announced that, via new drivers, installers can now seamlessly control connected Naim products from Crestron’s wide range of touchscreens, remote controls and apps. The result is high-performance music streaming more easily integrated into discreet custom installations.

The new Crestron driver support joins existing Control 4 driver support and promises to give CI installers even more ways to integrate a Naim audio performance.

We are told that the driver supports volume control and source switching through the Crestron interface, enabling installers to customise the user experience any way they like.

Additionally, it offers an enhanced browsing experience allowing access to your personal music collection and recommended content on TIDAL and Qobuz alongside a new Favourites menu – including internet radio stations and TIDAL/ Qobuz playlists. It also includes switching control of digital and analogue inputs, including HDMI-ARC and more.

The Crestron driver works with all Naim products such as the Mu-so and Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation wireless speakers; Uniti Atom, Uniti Star and Uniti Nova streaming systems, and ND5 XS 2, NDX 2 and ND555 dedicated music streaming players.

Further Naim products – including the Uniti Core music server – can also be integrated, offering the ability to rip and store music collections in flawless quality for playback through home installation.

The Naim Crestron driver offers two control methods for a Naim streaming product: Media Driver or Zone Driver. In addition, AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, and Spotify Connect features continue to operate as usual, and the Naim App and individual product remote controls can also be used.

The updated Naim Crestron driver is available now from Intrinsic.
