Naim Mu-so 2nd Generation for Bentley Special Edition
Product Reviews:
Music lovers can now enjoy exceptional sound and styling whether listening at home, on the move, or in any Bentley car, thanks to an extended collaboration between the iconic British marque, and premium audio brands, Naim Audio and Focal. Design and audio specialists from all three companies have worked together to develop the exclusive new products: the Naim Mu-so for Bentley Special Edition wireless speaker system.
This exciting project extends the close partnership, formed in 2008, between Bentley Motors and Naim Audio. Expert engineers from both brands work together on optimised Naim for Bentley systems for every Bentley model, delivering the ultimate in-car audio experience. Another fundamental partnership is that of Focal and Naim: unified companies since 2011, combining 88 years of audio expertise to craft class-leading music players, systems, loudspeakers and headphones. Now the renowned quality and performance of all three brands are brought together to enhance your listening and lifestyle.
The Naim Mu-so for Bentley Special Edition join the Bentley Collection: a carefully chosen selection of products, each with its own unique identity. Every item in the collection embodies the essence of the Bentley marque - unparalleled craftsmanship of the very best quality luxury materials and incredible attention to detail.
Both products feature distinctive Bentley design cues. The colour accents directly reference interior and exterior styling aspects of the stunning Bentley Mulliner Bacalar, itself inspired by the design DNA of the award-winning EXP 100 GT electric concept car. A recurring lattice pattern on both products is inspired by Bentley’s iconic diamond seat quilting, which is echoed in other new Bentley design elements, including headlight designs.
