Actually, Mac...

Neumann is GERMAN (from Berlin) not Austrian. The local manufacturer in Vienna is AKG

Vienna is in Austria. Austria was annexed to Germany under the Nazis but resumed its independence in 1945!

Georg Neumann was indeed born in Berlin.

But hey, what I meant was that you are closer than I am to the plant, man.

And last time I was in Austria, which admittedly dates back to the 70s, NEUMANN mics were the defacto standard in both the recording studios and the radio stations still, although the venerable AKG was also sighted in many, especially in the livesound arena. --And many SHURE BROS. mics, as well as at least a couple of Electro Voice RE series mics were proudly spotted in a few holes.

Maybe I should have said, "AKG" -- which was founded in Vienna.

My bad, my apologies.
