If you thought you had already seen everything in separation, prepare yourself, because chapter 7 of the second season He left us with his mouth open by a detail that few have noticedBut is reflected to what extent Apple TV + is willing to arrive to achieve visual perfection. And no, I am not exaggerating: they used a collection piece valued at more than 43,000 dollars which appears a few seconds on the screen. It is cinema in a pure state disguised as standard.
The details of thousands of dollars that almost no one has seen (but who defines the series)
In the middle of this impressive chapter entitled Chikhai Bardo, who even aroused controversy for his perfect Hi-fi Braun wall unit of 1965 designed by the legendary Rams of Dieter. Calm, there are no spoilers, but it is a product that each design lover and Apple will have attracted (or attract) attention.
This audio system is not a simple athlete. We are talking about a museum piece, a rarity for which collectors would pay more than 40,000 dollars today. And what does such a piece do in a shooting set? Then contribute to the creation of this aseptic, minimalist and timeless environment that defines the aesthetics of Lumon industries.
The Hi-Fi Braun mural is a complete modular system that has revolutionized the way we have understood the integration of technology into domestic space. And those responsible for the separation have decided that it was exactly what they needed for this chapter. What we see in this scene is not only “an old musical team”. It is a complete system that consists:
TS 45 receiver: Developed in 1965 by Dieter Rams, included an amplifier section with band and band inputs, in addition to a radio receiver for several bands (short, medium and long wave) with a FM stereo section. Amplifier supply: 2 x 15 watts.
Open reel recorder TG 60: A technical wonder with three Pabst engines that made it possible to control the recording with the moving band, somewhat reserved at that time only for professional equipment. Only 500 units were manufactured.
Altavoces 50 450: specially designed to combine with TS 45, equipped with a 5.1 inch woofer and a 1.3 inch acute speaker. Transition frequency at 2,600 Hz, nominal power of 20 watts to a huge 4 ohms.
Pcs 5: Another masterpiece of engineering with adjustment options for a reproduction of the perfect disc. Originally equipped with a Shure capsule.
The Hi-Fi Braun wall unit does not come alone. The designers of the series have created a space where they live Three emblematic pieces of rams at the diet: The audio system of the Hi-Fi Braun wall unit (1965): the jewel of the crown, worth 43,000 dollars.
Also a legendary chair 620 in collaboration with Vitsoe: another timeless classic. This living museum continue to manufacture today with the same specifications Six decades ago and is currently sold at prices between 5,000 and 8,000 dollars. And that only for an individual module.
Finally, we find the Braun FS 80 TV, another emblematic piece of the Dieter Rams catalog. At a time when televisions tried to hide in wooden furniture, the Braun FS 80 of Dieter Rams decided not to hide and to show what it was: a television. With its white case or graphite tone, a few buttons and its perfectly proportioned screen, FS 80 has been planning the future of televisions design for decades. Today, a Braun FS 80 in good condition can easily reach 8,000-12,000 dollars on the collectors' market.
Enter the parallelism of apples, the Rams of Dieter and Jonathan Ive
The most interesting thing about all of this is the way in which the apple linked with the designs of Braun and therefore the Dieter Rams. Not only in this Apple TV + series but in Designs as emblematic as the iPod or the iPhone calculator. In fact, Jonathan Ive has never hidden his admiration for German.
Is it worth spending 43,000 dollars for something almost no one will notice? This level of detail is exactly what transformed separation into an audiovisual masterpiece. As a student of audiovisual production that I was, I can appreciate these details which transform a good series into a masterpiece. But even without this technical knowledge, Anyone can feel that separation is differentSpecial, meticulous to almost obsessive extremes.
And if you have not yet seen this chapter (or worse, you have not started separation), do a favor and do not pass today. Not only will you see one of the best series of the decade, but also an industrial design museum evaluated in tens of thousands of dollars.
