Texas Hill Country at golden hour, a modest workshop building quiet in the landscape.
The second film

Wimberley.

A town of five thousand in the Texas Hill Country, where every product is designed, wound, built and tested by hand. The founding is told in prose on your history page. This is the film that prose has always wanted to be.

01 — The table

It started at a kitchen table in 2005.

Rupert, Evelyn, and Josh Thomas sat down and founded the company. That sentence is already on your site, and it's a perfect opening frame — a real table, morning light, the cups still out.

We open there. Not with a logo. With the place a fifty-year second act began.

The most ownable image the brand has

A copper transformer, wound by hand, in a town of five thousand.

Total galvanic isolation, designed for each circuit. It's the heart of every Rupert Neve design, and it has never been filmed the way it deserves. Copper catching the work-lamp. The slow turn of the wire. The hands that have done this ten thousand times.

An engineer's hands on the knobs of an analog mastering processor, lit warm.
02 — The philosophy, carried

He spent sixteen years teaching them. They're still here.

Rupert trained the engineering team for sixteen years to carry his way of working forward. Josh Thomas, Dennis Alichwer, and the people at the bench are who he taught.

This film isn't about a loss. It's about a craft that was deliberately handed down, and the people living that responsibility now — at the bench, today, available now and not forever.

03 — The place chose them back

The Hill Country isn't a backdrop. It's part of the work.

The kind of place a craftsman chooses on purpose — quiet, slow, deliberate. The same qualities that go into the gear.

Made here

One building

Designed, manufactured, and tested in the United States, at the Wimberley facility. Nothing offshored.

Made here

By hand

Transformers wound, boards assembled, every unit listened to before it ships. The human is the method.

Made here

For people who listen

Built for the engineer who wants to hear forty years of recorded music in a single note. The content should match.

04 — The line you already wrote

"Dedicated to harnessing hidden powers of human creativity in electronics, magnetism and sound." A person wrote that. The film should come from the same place.

The kitchen-table founding has waited long enough to be a picture.
