NAIM® Fraim Cherry Base

Product Overview

Naim’s development of the Fraim marked the first time the full engineering resources of a high-end audio manufacturer had been deployed in the design of an equipment stand. And the Fraim’s performance demonstrates perfectly that Naim knows best how to support its own electronics. The Fraim brings more detail, pace and focus to music, working in harmony with the Naim philosophy that makes the fundamentals of music – pitch, timing and dynamics – the priorities.

A Fraim module comprises two fundamental elements: the base level and multiple shelving levels. The base level provides a stable and non-resonant three-point foundation that decouples the shelving levels above through two sets of three minimal contact interfaces. Each shelving level then, as well as incorporating a primary set of three cone and cup interfaces, incorporates a glass sub-shelf supported by a further set of three cup and ball bearing interfaces. The Fraim principle is that successive minimal contact interfaces progressively decouple the transmission of mechanical energy. This includes the micro-vibrations created when products are immersed in a sound field and those generated by all products while operating, including power supplies. At the same time the interfaces provide a fixed reference plane on which the internal isolation systems of each item of electronics can perform optimally. Additionally, the shelf height options are configured to ensure that magnetic field interaction between electronic products is minimized.

Fraim material selection is as significant as the arrangement of its components. Super hard stainless steel, toughened glass selected following intensive listening tests, large section anodized aluminum extrusion and veneered wood composites all contribute to equipment support that both performs to perfection and perfectly complements the Naim aesthetic.
