Building a better loudspeaker

THIEL’s Award-winning sound

Manufacturing

• Hardwood veneers are chosen from woods specially reserved for us by the
producers. Craftsmen then match the veneer for the most attractive fit.

• High-precision, custom-programmed CNC machining centers achieve
cabinet cut tolerances of two-tenths of one millimeter.

• THIEL’s skilled cabinet makers assemble the precision cut parts so joints are
tight and veneer grain patterns flow seemlessly in matched pairs.

• From the intricate workings of the innovative motor systems and diaphragm
assemblies to the massive magnets and rigid aluminum baskets, THIEL’s state-
of-art drivers are assembled for exceptional performance.

• Each THIEL speaker is meticulously hand assembled, then tested and
measured under anechoic-like conditions to ensure that it matches the design
prototype. No speaker leaves the factory until it is worthy of the THIEL logo.

“At THIEL, quality is nothing

extraneous, rare, or

exceptional, but something that

becomes something you live

with every day…It’s not only a

matter of machines, but of

men, passion, and the

individual employee.”

THIEL speakers are ruggedly constructed with great attention to detail. We strike a fine balance between hand
craftsmanship and the use of high-precision machines to meet the THIEL standard.
