Georg Neumann founded the company in Berlin in 1928. His first big microphone was the CMV 3, called the bottle, and the U 47 of 1947 was the company’s breakthrough in studios.
Neumann is today owned by Sennheiser and makes studio microphones in Berlin. The brand is associated with classic recordings of voices and instruments.
