THE PURSUIT OF PERFECT SOUND

Throughout its history, Sennheiser has been driven by a passion for sound; a passion that has never diminished in nearly 70 years. From modest beginnings in 1945, through to the present day, this family-owned German company has built a truly global profile.

Faced with the technological deficiencies of existing products, Professor Dr Fritz Sennheiser devoted himself to finding innovative solutions, looking to make the very best technology available to users everywhere. Ever since the company that bears Dr Sennheiser’s name was founded, it has been providing technological innovations that improve people’s lives – and the Pursuit of Perfect Sound continues to this day.

The first Sennheiser microphones were developed by broadening microphone theory. First launched in 1947, they were rapidly adopted by large numbers of artistes and professionals – musicians such as Louis Armstrong, singers like Edith Piaf and politicians such as Eisenhower and Kennedy, as well as broadcasters, radio stations and air-traffic controllers across the world.

And now 70 years later, professional musicians, sound engineers, presenters and singers throughout the world are in agreement that Sennheiser products are the pinnacle of technological perfection.

Sennheiser Today The 21st century sees Sennheiser represented in over 105 countries, employing over 2,200 people and continuing to develop the most innovative products for the professional sound and consumer electronics industries. The Sennheiser Group also includes studio microphone and monitor manufacturer Georg Neumann GmbH, bringing together two outstanding microphone manufacturers in the industry; and Danish-based joint venture company, Sennheiser Communications, which develops headsets for PC and consoles, office and call centre markets. The company turnover in 2013 was in excess of ¤600m, with the EMEA region accounting for approximately 60% of the company’s business.

Sennheiser Middle East In 2009, Sennheiser Middle East was born as a sales and marketing office, based in the Dubai Airport Free Zone, with a small but motivated staff that have been responsible for exponential growth over the last six years. With a long-term strategy in place for the regional office and Sennheiser’s commitment to its business in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia, the team and office continues to grow apace.

Sennheiser Middle East has the responsibility for distribution of the Sennheiser Group brands across the GCC and Levant region whilst also servicing countries in North and East Africa, as well as most of the former CIS countries in Central Asia. Having established a logistics partnership with Hellmann Worldwide, based in Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone and with a significant stockholding, the operation has become a natural regional hub.

Product O ering Sennheiser and Neumann’s combined current product range for the broadcast industry comprises both wired and wireless microphones, headphones and headsets for camera operators, production crews and studio engineers as well as award-winning studio monitors. All have an identical core value - uncompromising audio quality.

Sennheiser and Neumann Digital Microphones Sennheiser and Neumann have pioneered the implementation of digital microphones, succeeding in bringing the dynamic range and signal fidelity of some of the world’s best analogue studio microphones into the digital domain. Thanks to a tailored A/D processor, the system meets requirements of professional audio production. With a modular design, outstanding acoustic reproduction and conforming to the AES42 standard, Sennheiser and Neumann again lead the industry in development of microphone technology.

Neumann KH Range | Studio Monitors For decades, Neumann has been regarded worldwide as the standard-setting, leading manufacturer of studio microphones, with models such as the U47 and M49 assured of legendary status, alongside more modern incarnations such as the U87 and M149. It is difficult to imagine a professional studio without a Neumann microphone and today a new chapter in Neumann’s long and illustrious history has begun with the launch of the new range of studio monitors, which represent the latest in acoustic and electronic simulation and measurement technologies.

The KH Range of loudspeakers represents Neumann’s use of the very latest in acoustic and electronic simulation and measurement technologies to ensure the most accurate sound reproduction possible. The range includes the KH 120 and KH 310 near-field monitors and the new KH 420 mid-field monitors, all of which feature Mathematically Modelled Dispersion (MMD) waveguides, flexible acoustic controls, analogue class-AB amplifiers, a number of input formats and an extensive range of mounting hardware. Perfect for tracking, mixing and mastering in music, broadcast, project and postproduction studios, these monitors can be used in conjunction with the KH 810 or 870 subs to extend the low-frequency response of the system and to increase the overall maximum output level of a system.
