3. Bluetooth Connection
In addition to playing streamed audio via a local network,
mu-so can play audio over a Bluetooth wireless connection
from appropriately equipped playback devices. Mu-so is
configured by default with an “open” Bluetooth connection
so does not require “pairing” with a specific playback
device. To connect mu-so to a Bluetooth playback device
open the playback device Bluetooth setup page and select
Mu-so-XXXX in the list of available devices. After a short
delay mu-so will be available to the audio apps on the
device for playback selection.
Note: Bluetooth wireless connections have a relatively
limited range. A maximum of around 10 metres is typical
in domestic environments, however physical obstructions
in the transmission path may result in reduced range.
Note: The default mu-so network and Bluetooth name
incorporates the last four characters of the unique MAC
address printed on a label on the underside of each unit
adjacent to the mains input socket.
Mu-so Bluetooth connection can be switched to a secure
format using the setup pages of the IOS and Android
Naim app (see Section 5.3.2). A secure Bluetooth connection
means that connected devices need to be specifically
“paired” with mu-so in order to stream audio. To switch mu-
so to secure Bluetooth format follow the steps below:
• Open the Naim app setup menu and select Input
Settings > Bluetooth Security. Select Bluetooth
Security “on”.
• Touch and hold the mu-so touch panel input icon until
the Bluetooth icon begins to blink.
• Open your Bluetooth playback device Bluetooth
settings page and select “Mu-so-XXXX”.
Your mu-so and playback device will now be securely
paired. No other Bluetooth device will be able to connect to
mu-so unless it is similarly paired.
Note: If multiple devices are paired, mu-so will play from
the first device from which it receives a stream. If you
wish to stream from a different paired device, the first
device must be disconnected.
Note: Up to eight Bluetooth devices can be paired with
mu-so simultaneously. If a ninth device is paired the oldest
paired device will be deleted.
Note: Mu-so can be forced to disconnect and delete a
paired Bluetooth device via the Naim app settings menus.
See section 5.3.2
Diagram 9 illustrates mu-so Bluetooth setup on an Android
mobile device. Bluetooth setup on an iOS device is similar.
