Overview

NAIT 50 is a remaster of the famous NAIT 1 integrated amplifier. Naim's experts in Salisbury have carefully recrafted this iconic product with the legendary chrome bumper design from the Naim archives. With Naim’s class-leading modern technology and adding new features such as a headphone outlet, the NAIT 50 is the essence of Naim Audio. Made in England, NAIT 50 is presented in a limited-edition of 1973 pieces.

Back To The Future

NAIT 50 is the worthy successor of NAIT 1, Naim’s integrated amplifier released in 1983. Naim's engineers have been sure to preserve the DNA of NAIT 1, while making technical improvements to the circuits thanks to their unique expertise. Some of the new features on this anniversary edition include: a 1/4” (6.35mm) jack headphone output, so you can enjoy all types of listening. Behind its sleek design, NAIT 50 also delivers top notch sound quality.

The Ultimate Listening Experience

Fully regulated 25W of power per channel, three input selections (MM phono, Stream, Aux), a discrete transistor MM phono stage: NAIT 50 combines power, performance and versatility. It reproduces the most exacting dynamics with all the confidence and authority we have come to expect from a Naim amplifier. It can be linked with all loudspeaker types, as well as a streamer, for the ultimate hi-fi system.
