<p>Meet Christian Drecksel – paint shop guru and today’s tour guide of Zu Audio’s factory floor. I’m here to talk*<a href="http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2012/06/the-show-newport-beach-2012-part-3/" target="_blank">Union</a>, a new loudspeaker that’s pitched sonically closer to Zu’s A-game Soul Superfly (<em>right</em>) than their entry-level Omen (<em>left</em>). *I’m keen to see the build process from*<em>woe</em> to*<em>go</em>. *First up: Drecksel drives me ’round to meet one of the local box cutters.</p>
<p>Zu outsource the cutting to a triumvirate of woodshops. *A rigid*three-ply composite is cut to strict build specifications. CNC cutting tables ensure precision. *I get a sense that error-tolerance amongst team Zu is super low. *The factory itself has a feeling of long hours spent in the pursuit of high standards – everyone seems dedicated to a team outcome. *Music is nearly always playing downstairs and rarely does five minutes pass without my hearing someone, somewhere laugh*<em>hard</em>.</p>
