Neumann

Founded in 1928 by Georg Neumann in Berlin, Germany, Georg Neumann GmbH has established itself as one of the world's leading manufacturers of studio-grade audio equipment and the creator of legendary recording microphones including the iconic U 47, M 49, U 67, and U 87 that have shaped the sound of countless recordings across classical, rock, and pop music. Originally an independent company, Neumann was acquired by Sennheiser Electronic GmbH in 1991 and now operates as a key subsidiary of the Sennheiser Group under the brand 'Neumann.Berlin,' maintaining its headquarters in Berlin while production takes place in a state-of-the-art level 100 cleanroom factory in Wedemark, near Hanover. Under the recent leadership transition from Ralf Oehl to new CEO Yasmine Riechers (formerly Head of Corporate Development at Sennheiser Group), the company continues to expand its global business and strategic direction while preserving its nearly century-long legacy of audio excellence. Neumann's comprehensive product portfolio has evolved significantly beyond microphones to include studio monitors (following the 2010 acquisition of Klein + Hummel's loudspeaker technology), professional headphones (launched in 2019), audio interfaces, and live microphones (development began in 2022), establishing a complete ecosystem of professional audio capture and reproduction equipment. The company operates with the philosophy that 'rare is the recording – whether classical, rock or pop... which doesn't feature at least one Neumann microphone,' and maintains its position as 'the reference since 1928' through continuous innovation and meticulous German engineering. As part of the Sennheiser Group's professional audio focus following the divestiture of consumer electronics to Sonova, Neumann operates alongside sister companies Dear Reality GmbH (binaural and Ambisonics specialists) and Merging Technologies SA (high-resolution recording systems), with the group led by Co-CEOs Dr. Andreas Sennheiser and Daniel Sennheiser and an Executive Management Board including Greg Beebe, Ron Holtdijk, and CFO Steffen Heise. With active social media presence across Facebook (259,738 likes), Instagram (@neumann.berlin with 233K followers), and YouTube, Neumann continues to engage with audio professionals and enthusiasts worldwide while offering career opportunities through their Berlin headquarters and maintaining their commitment to reference-quality audio technology that has made them the gold standard in professional recording environments globally.
