Use the App to access all your music, including your favourite radio stations, streaming services and playlists, and explore artist discographies and biographies.
Simple and enjoyable to use
The NSC 222 is very simple to use – you can easily control it using the Focal & Naim app, available on iOS and Android, but also with the Zigbee smart remote control supplied. Of course, you can also access many features via the NSC 222 itself, and its backlit volume button. For your listening pleasure, the 5.5” colour screen displays the tracks being played.
