Neumann How it's made

Sorry in advance if this has been posted, I didn't see anything in a search.

There is a TV show called "How It's Made" and there is a particular show where they show the inner workings of making a nice neumann microphone.


sweet look into the mic

Do you know the episode title - or number?

I've seen many of these shows (I love them..) - but haven't seen any about Neumann?

if it's about any of the new neumann mics, forget it... the only tube mic they're producing now is a transformerless input and output with a 6111 tube stage... nothing too special imo. (plus they rape you for a replacement, 300 bucks for the tube and 'circuit board' that it is mounted to, only consisting of a few resistors and a cap or two.) The guy at the Neumann booth at AES this year only wanted to talk about their new digital mics...

BUT, a look into the factory and build of a mic would be cool.

Looks like the show is cataloged differently for each market.

In Canada it's season 11 episode 7

In the US it's season 5 episode 7

Microphones, Hot Tubs, Artificial Turf, Beer Steins

Although it's not a tube mic, it does have a nice view of drilling the vent holes and applying the mylar into the capsule.

When I first read your post, I was reminded of the scene in Ocean's 13 where Livingston is explaining to Rusty, Danny, and Linus the basics of blackjack.

I guess because I watch most every show on the discovery channel and assume everyone else does too. :green:

Thanks for bringing this up, I was able to DVR it.

I wish they showed the process of depositing gold on the mylar, thats would have been cool to see. I was suprised to see the assemblers "man handling" the capsule with bare hands.
