Compact. Connected. Powerful. Meet the Uniti CI 102 from Naim

 

If you're looking for a discreet, high-performance streaming amplifier that integrates seamlessly into your home setup, the Naim Uniti CI 102 could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

Designed with home automation systems in mind, the Uniti CI 102 offers the full Naim hi-fi experience in a compact, rack-friendly form factor. Whether you're working with Control4, Crestron, or Savant, this amplifier is ready to slot into your setup effortlessly.

 

Built for Custom Installations

The “CI” in the Uniti CI 102 stands for Custom Install, and it shows. This is a streaming amplifier built for discreet home installations, with rack-mount ears included in the box and compatibility with advanced control systems. Installers can fine-tune integration using Naim’s specialist software, ensuring your audio system works in perfect harmony with your smart home.

Despite its install-focused design, this unit is anything but niche. It’s just as appealing for home users who want minimalist hi-fi performance without compromising on sound quality or connectivity.

Powerful, Compact, and Cool-Running

The Uniti CI 102 features Class D amplification, delivering 150 watts into 8 ohms. That’s serious power in a small, energy-efficient package. It runs cool, meaning you can hide it away in a media cabinet or AV rack without worrying about ventilation.

The discreet chassis skips the screen and front-panel controls, keeping the design clean and unobtrusive. But this isn’t just about looks—its metal construction and optional illuminated badge retain the build quality you’d expect from Naim.

 

Streaming Made Easy

This is a fully connected streaming amplifier, with support for TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, UPnP, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, and internet radio. It also integrates with Naim Multiroom, allowing up to 32 devices to connect in sync—perfect for whole-home audio.

You can control the Uniti CI 102 via the Focal & Naim app (iOS and Android), or cast directly from your favourite music app. It powers on automatically when you send audio and powers down after inactivity, making it incredibly low maintenance.

HDMI eARC and More

Unlike many other compact hi-fi systems, the Uniti CI 102 includes HDMI eARC, making it a brilliant upgrade for your TV setup. Swap your soundbar for a proper pair of hi-fi speakers and hear the difference. There are also analogue and digital inputs, pre-outs for a subwoofer, and everything else you’d expect from a flexible home audio hub.


Real Hi-Fi Sound, Hidden in Plain Sight

Pair the Uniti CI 102 with speakers like the Focal Aria Evo X and you’ve got a discreet hi-fi system that sounds phenomenal. It holds its own against much larger systems and offers a true taste of Naim’s signature sound—refined, dynamic, and deeply engaging.

For those considering an all-in-one powered speaker, the Uniti CI 102 provides similar convenience but with far more flexibility. Choose your own speakers, upgrade over time, and enjoy a setup that fits your space and your style.
