On this episode of the AXPONA Audio Insider Podcast, Lenny Florentine sits down with Franz Ammann from Gotham Audio. Founded in New York City in 1958 and now based in Switzerland, Gotham Audio has built its reputation on precision, consistency, and signal purity. Franz shares the story behind Gotham's evolution from distributing Neumann microphones and EMT turntables to manufacturing its own double-shielded cables used in studios and hi-fi systems across the world. He explains the company's philosophy of maintaining absolute transparency in the audio chain, the science behind their signature shielding technology, and how their long-term partnerships ensure lasting quality. The conversation also includes an exclusive preview of Gotham's upcoming magnetically shielded cable, a groundbreaking design set to launch at AXPONA 2026. From studio engineering to home listening, this discussion offers rare insight into the craft and integrity behind every Gotham product.
