The app scanned for WiFi access points – or rather, I expect it told the NuVo P100 to scan for WiFi access points. The next step gave three options: to finish up, to add an additional zone, or to perform the wireless setup. So, ‘Guest Room’? ‘Nursery’? ‘Wine Cellar’? ‘Nook’? I saved ‘Office’ for other unit and used an edit button to turn ‘Room’ into ‘Computer’, and thus the NuVo had a name. Within five seconds after than it said ‘Connected’ and asked me to choose a name and icon. A second later, the app informed me it was connecting. I switched it on and followed the instructions to press two of the front panel buttons at the same time. So, out with the loose Ethernet cable, and into the Ethernet port of the P100 it went.
At that point it informed me that, in that case, I had to plug the players in via Ethernet to set them up. Then you tell the app whether you’re using the NuVo Gateway, which seems to be the company’s own WiFi access point. More importantly, that’s usually the harder case. Fire it up, tell it you want to set up a new system, select your country and then decide whether you’re going wired or wireless.

To set the NuVo systems up, you plug everything in (although I left the power switched off at this point) and then download your app to an Android or iOS device from the relevant official store. But with music it is generally highly objectionable.

That can be useful occasionally, as when you’re watching a movie late at night.
The other is compressing the dynamic range of program material. One is the innocuous, even helpful, task of equalising levels between inputs. I dislike Audyssey Dynamic Volume on principle.

The brochures say that both the P100 and P200 use “Audyssey music technology your listening experience with Dynamic Volume.” The specifications for the NuVo P200 label the ‘Setup Mic’ connection ‘Audyssey’.īut there were no settings in the app that I could find that related to this, nor any manual online to study. It also has an intriguing 3.5mm connection on the back labelled ‘Setup Mic’.

It adds to the P100’s inputs Bluetooth connectivity with support for the higher quality aptX codec. It produces 60W per channel at 0.5% THD and supports loudspeakers from 4 to 8Ω. It’s wider and deeper but the same mere 43mm in height. Or to be variable as a source device for a power amplifier.Īll that also applies to the P200, except that it offers a bit more.
Likewise, within the app you can set the line level output to be fixed, for use with some other amplifier with volume control. You select the input to be used within the NuVo app. The amplifiers are apparently efficient Class D units. Indeed, Legrand makes much of the audiophile credentials of the NuVo line. On the back is a hardwired power switch and a two-prong 240V power input, a 3.5mm analogue input, a 3.5mm line level output, a USB input (for memory sticks) and four speaker binding posts that would not seem out of place on an audiophile amplifier. It can be left in the default mode, which just stops the sound, or it can be set to act as a play/pause key. The mute key is configurable in the NuVo app. On the front are three touch sensitive keys: volume down, volume up and mute. It seems to rely on passive cooling, drawing air in from slots on the right hand side, expelling it through slots at the left. It supports speakers with impedances of 6Ω to 8Ω. Just 187mm wide, this stereo amplifier produces 20W per channel at 0.5% THD. They are both essentially compact smart, networked amplifiers. Here, I’m looking at two of the Legrand NuVo systems. The electrical business grew year on year for ever, so it came to dominate Legrand’s activities.) So how did it get here from there? In the early 20 th century, in the early decades of electrification, an associated business started making porcelain-bodied light switches. (The Legrand business started way back in 1865 as a porcelain product maker. Very long-standing French firm Legrand is in that space, along with a wide range of other home infrastructure control solutions. But what about companies that focus primarily on the installation market? We’ve covered several multi-room audio systems in this magazine that are firmly targeted at the consumer market: Heos and Yamaha MusicCast specifically spring to mind. Stephen Dawson has reviewed several ‘over-the-counter’ MRA systems but here, he looks at an integrator-specific offering from NuVo – the P100 and P200.
