Label: Naim

The Naim Label is a part the of the world-class hi-fi manufacturer, Naim Audio, a company renowned for producing some of the best sounding hi-fi equipment available today.

Belonging to this highly regarded British company means that its inherent philosophy is shared with the label, one of achieving absolute sound quality and preserving the musicians' art.

The reason Naim entered the record industry came from a frustration with the poor sound quality of many CDs. Naim believed that it could record and release music that would take the sound quality of CD playback to another level. So, it undertook various tests of all stages of the production process, compared many end results in listening tests and came up with the definitive method of CD production, a method to which it still rigorously adheres.

The Naim Label uses various methods for recording, from our "True Stereo" technique - a simple two-microphone approach - and multi channel. In both cases with a desire to produce music that sounds as best it can.

The Naim catalogue now includes one hundred beautifully crafted works of art, a treasure for the music lover who demands the highest quality recordings.
