The sound of a music system is inescapably tied up with its environment. Just as the performance of
loudspeakers is influenced by their interface with the structure of a listening room, so is the performance
of audio electronics. Microphony, the microscopic disturbance of highly sensitive electronics by mechanical
vibration, is responsible, and even with the numerous measures taken within Naim electronics to minimise
mechanical vibration, it still has influence. Minimising microphony, through engineered support and isolation,
as well as providing an elegant solution to equipment installation, are the dual roles of the updated,
reference-level Fraim and new, entry-level FraimLite equipment stands.
The engineering challenge of minimising microphony through an equipment support is complex. It demands that
a support has minimal physical contact with the external environment and yet provides multiple, immensely rigid,
decoupled and non-resonant support platforms. It is a challenge that can only be met through the twin pursuits of
single-minded engineering innovation and painstaking material selection. The original Naim Fraim was launched
in 2002, and since then, every Naim electronics product has used it for support during development. Naim equipment
supported on Fraim is thus living truly in the environment for which it evolved. The principles and performance
of Fraim and FraimLite can however bring benefits to any hi-fi system.
Fraim and FraimLite are not only about sound quality. Their manufacturing quality expresses exactly the same
values of engineering integrity as every Naim product and their sleek, modern design dovetails perfectly with the
Naim aesthetic to sit comfortably in any domestic listening environment.
