NAIT XS Integrated Amplifier
New performance-upgradeable NAIT joins the family
Its development project name was the NAIT Speed, reflecting its objective – Performance, Performance and more Performance. The XS delivers 60 watts per channel into eight ohms and 90 watts per channel into four ohms.
The NAIT XS shares the elegant non-resonant non-magnetic chassis and bodywork of the NAIT 5i, but the overall design is derived from the engine of the SUPERNAIT.
THE NAIT XS shares a heritage of 25 years of award-winning market-influencing Naim NAITs (Naim Amplifier InTegrated). The NAITs are amplifiers that have led the world in delivering music to enthusiasts, students, vice-presidents and indeed anyone with a passion for music.
The space within the slim-line case has been fully utilised optimising the signal path. Components that like space are given it. Overall the circuitry – the minimum switching and relays are, for example, like a sports car stripped back to essentials for the track – delivers a performance that’s exciting and full on.
The performance of the NAIT XS hasn’t just been achieved by simplifying the signal path; it includes some true innovations. This design is the first to use Naim’s newly developed bayonet PCB mounting technique that delivers a consistent board ‘float’; reducing microphonic effects. The heat sink is castellated to enable maximum cooling for reliability, maximum dynamics and to reduce capacitance effects from potentially longer PCB tracks.
