Naim Fraim Base
The Naim Fraim base is a double-layer base platform that provides further isolation from resonance and is required to start building each Fraim rack. Simply add Naim Fraim Shelves to complete the support.
The Fraim equipment support system has been carefully designed to provide the perfect platform for Naim electronics to shine. Each level is carefully isolated from the next using a cup-and-cone interface. An additional, double-layer base platform provides further isolation from resonance.
A toughened glass sub-shelf rests on minimal-contact ball decouplers, providing even more isolation. From the stainless steel spikes, which complete the process of isolation, to the zinc-plated steel nuts and studs that tie everything together, each individual component of the Fraim has been selected for its effect on sound quality.
Fraim platforms available in Natural Ash, Cherry (tinted and non-tinted) and Black finishes
Extruded, anodised aluminium Fraim legs available in three heights, and in silver or black finishes
Modular design allows for system expansion over time
Fully decoupled structure with inter-level cup-and-cone interfaces and toughened glass sub-shelf supported on ball bearings
Double-layer base level plus stainless steel floor spikes for maximum isolation
Optimised shelf spacing to reduce magnetic interaction between components
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 minimised.
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 anodised aluminium extrusion and veneered wood composites all contribute to equipment support that both performs to perfection and perfectly complements the Naim Audio aesthetic.
