There are said to be companies which will turn out a hundred thousand boxes a month. And if they can flog more, they'll raise their workers' quota.	Instead, Knud-Erik Veber is sawing and cutting, sanding and veneering for three days on just one Consequence. (In good weather, he'll take half as long on a Contour 2.8.)
If we need more money, we won't build more speakers, we'll raise our prices.
For any truth-loving Dane, this is a horror scenario. We at Dynaudio build less than 30,000 speakers a year. It has to do with our definition of quality. And since quality is a much rarer commodity than money, if needs be, we don't raise our production, but the price we ask for it. Which has some very; positive effects on our employees' attitude. They've been at it for twenty years. Four of our people have been building loud- speakers for more than twenty years. Fifteen others have been working for us for more than ten years. Let nobody say we're just an ordinary company. We're more of a carpentry. After all, all 14 people who build enclosures for us are qualified furniture carpenters. The last time they heard of an "assembly line" was in school. In our workshop, there's no machine, spits out a complete enclosure every five seconds.	He'll know what he's done, afterwards. And the speaker he'll have built is as unique and prestigious as the expensive wood from which it's made. There's true in glue. Non-toxic glues should be normal in an environment where humans are working, not machines. Not quite as normal is the care we take of our woods. Hugo Nielssen will select from a range of veneers, which have been in storage for a very long time, to find the right one for each pair of speakers. Then these pairs won't be separated until final assembly. That way, we make sure that the left speaker in your living room is a perfect match for the right one. And not a twin-brother of one bought by neighbour Jones next door. Danes don't lie.
