VISION
WHY MOUNTAINS
Mountains, majestic and eternal, possess the power to awaken something ancestral within us.
Contemplating them disconnects us from the rhythm of everyday life, allows us to forget the concept of time, and invites us to abandon ourselves to the ecstasy of an intimate and profound relationship with nature and with all that that exists.
Climbing a mountain offers the opportunity, once its top is reached, to enjoy a unique perspective on things and on the world.
Mountains inspire us because they evoke deep, ancient emotions—much like those we seek to evoke in those people who listen to music through our creations.
Our goal is to provide a unique perspective on your favorite music.
This is why each of our earphones bears the name of a mountain: its sound tries to capture its essence, its history, its salient features, the panorama that can be enjoyed from its peak.
Named after the Romansh term ‘Black Peak’, it rises to 3,056 meters above sea level, making it the highest point in the Corviglia ski area, which straddles the Cantons of Grisons and Uri.
Piz Nair presents breathtaking views of the Engadine valley and surrounding peaks, overlooking the renowned village of St. Moritz, nestled at its base.

FROM A SKETCH TO REALITY
IDEA & DESIGN
Ergonomic studies have undoubtedly been the cornerstone of the design for Nair, as well as for all other Gaudio in-ear monitor models.
However, our design efforts extended beyond simply ensuring unmatched comfort; we also aimed to create a design with a strong personality — one that stands out and inherently conveys the exceptional quality synonymous with Gaudio’s approach.
The source of inspiration was twofold: on one hand, we drew from the lines, curves, and contours characteristic of contemporary luxury sports car design.
On the other hand, we found ourselves once again captivated by our beloved mountains; their rugged spires, sculpted over millennia by wind and other atmospheric forces, provide a powerful source of inspiration.
MECHANICS & MATERIALS
We exclusively use premium materials selected for their exceptional mechanical properties.
This selection has enabled us to craft high-end earphones with unmatched tonal qualities —thanks to the durability of the chassis — while also ensuring remarkable resilience.
THE SHELLS
Nair’s body and cover are crafted from a single block of 6061 aluminum alloy, meticulously hollowed and machined with a precision CNC milling machine.
THE NOZZLE
The “nozzle” is made of stainless steel, machined from a solid metal bar using an automatic lathe.
In combination with the body’s finish, it creates a unique appearance characterized by the “contrast effect” between the satin finish achieved through the anodization of the aluminum and the hand polishing of the steel.
THE FINISH
Nair’s finish employs an innovative Titanium-infused black anodization treatment: this exclusive process, developed in Switzerland, is twice as resistant as conventional treatments.
PRECISION & ELEGANCE
ASSEMBLED BY HAND
The “human element” is an essential – indispensable – ingredient when striving for absolute quality, and at Gaudio, we are fully aware of this undeniable truth: only care, experience, and a genuinely artisanal approach can ensure a state-of-the-art creation.
This is why our earphones are meticulously assembled by hand in our laboratories in Switzerland, with painstaking attention to detail.
REFERENCE
SOUND TUNING
Nair represents our interpretation of a reference acoustic tuning: it aims for an extremely transparent and revealing sound.
Such a performance is the perfect choice for all those audiophiles seeking extraordinary precision and detail in reproduction, and it could also prove ideal for professional activities such as mixing and mastering.
Its sound signature features extended, linear, and well-articulated low frequencies, transitioning through a subtly evident mid-high region, all in pursuit of maximum clarity.
Nair’s categorical imperative is to illuminate every minute nuance contained in the musical message.
In general, our main goal is to always seek absolute correctness in tonal balance through the entire audible range, both in relation to voices and musical instruments.
We combine this target with a quest for maximum transparency and high-fidelity, meaning our in-ear monitors’ ability to bring out every minute detail contained in your favorite music.
This philosophy translates in a lengthy calibration and optimization process, aimed at getting the most out of each individual driver while seamlessly integrating them all together: the result is a fluid, cohesive, and coherent sound emission.
A significant advantage of the Gaudio sound quality is its ability to recreate a spacious and airy acoustic scene, where every single instrument is positioned stably and realistically within the virtual stage.
RECOMMENDED FOR
Nair and the other Gaudio creations are dedicated to all those who are looking for an uncompromising in-ear monitor with high-end performance: whether music enthusiasts wanting to experience absolute quality sound reproduction anytime and anywhere, whether – why not – professionals (recording/mastering studio engineers) in need of a precise, robust, and reliable work tool, these monitors are designed for you.
