A professional recording studio without a Neumann microphone? Hard to imagine. Neumann has been the world's leading manufacturer of studio microphones for decades. Numerous products from the company's history have become milestones in professional audio technology. It is no coincidence that Tonstudio's Neumann microphones are almost always at the top of their equipment list - after all, they are regarded as a recognized sign of the highest professionalism.
The basis for decades of success is an uncompromisingly quality-oriented product development and production,"explains Managing Director Wolfgang Fraissinet. Should it ever happen that a service is needed, Neumann Berlin will repair all microphones built after the Second World War with original spare parts "A service promise that is second to none.
All this gives the customer the security of knowing that they are buying a product of the highest sound quality, reliability and value retention, an investment that usually outlasts several generations of sound engineers. Neumann microphones are certainly not cheap, but professionals know from everyday practice that they are worth the price. And many owners of a small home recording studio dream of being able to call a "real Neumann" their own.
In addition to countless sound engineers using Neumann microphones in their studio productions, world-famous musicians - from the Beatles and Natalie Cole to Bryan Adams, Celine Dion and Beyoncé - are among the users of the high-tech products from Berlin.
Founded in Berlin in 1928, the company was not only concerned with microphones for a long time. At the same time Georg Neumann, a pioneer and versatile inventor, developed record cutting machines and rechargeable batteries. The associated technology is still the basis for the ubiquitous batteries. For many years, the company has also been building very individually configured sound reinforcement systems for radio studios, theatres and concert halls. In 1991 Neumann became an important part of the Sennheiser Group.
A temporary highlight of the company's history was certainly the 1999 Technical Grammy award for the company's overall technical performance. With the development of the Solution-D digital microphone system, Neumann once again underpins its technological leadership in innovative and future-oriented audio technology at the beginning of the new millennium.
Since 2010, Neumann has also been contributing its experience in the field of electroacoustic transducer technology to the studio monitors and can thus offer optimum solutions for customers in the application areas of TV, radio, recording and production.
The company's headquarters with development, marketing, sales and service are still located in Berlin, where the 75th anniversary of the company was celebrated in 2003 and the 80th anniversary of the company in 2008.
For some years now, Wedemark near Hanover has been producing under clean room conditions that meet the highest international standards. A worldwide operating, but from Berlin steered sales network ensures that a customer not only gets "his Neumann"but also finds a personal contact person even in the remotest places of the world.
