Streaming, DSP, HDMI and 150-watt amplification for custom installation
Naim CI-UNITI 102 is the source and control centre of the CI Series, with Wi-Fi 6, HDMI eARC, Dante, professional management and outputs for adding zones and power.
The single Naim CI-UNITI 102 combines streaming, conversion, DSP processing and amplification in a compact chassis designed for racks and integrated systems. It delivers 150 W into 8 ohms and 260 W into 4 ohms, receives audio from a Dante network and can trigger CI-NAP 108 or CI-NAP 101 when more zones or greater power are required.
Key features

The CI-family source, not simply another power amplifier
CI-NAP 108 and CI-NAP 101 amplify analogue signals but do not contain streaming or HDMI management. CI-Uniti 102 adds network services, DSP, eARC and system control, making it the point from which audio can be distributed to secondary zones or dedicated power amplifiers.
108 for many channels, 101 for a demanding mono load
CI-NAP 108 provides eight channels for multiroom and installations containing many loudspeakers; CI-NAP 101 instead concentrates up to 500 W into 8 ohms in one channel and adds 70/100 V operation. CI-Uniti 102's RCA outputs and triggers allow either or both to be chosen around the project topology.
Configuration designed for the installer
Focal Naim Manager provides Focal loudspeaker profiles, equalisation and limiters, while automation drivers bring playback into the building-control interface. The 4.45 cm-high chassis and universal 100-240 V mains input simplify integration in residential, commercial and marine racks.
