Sennheiser Electronic Corporation is proud to announce that Neumann and Sennheiser have both been recognized with Technical Excellence & Creativity (TEC) Awards. At the 20th annual TEC Award ceremony, held in San Francisco on October 30th, the Neumann TLM 127 won in the Microphone Technology/Studio category and Sennheiser was presented the top award for Wireless Technology for the Evolution Wireless G2 series.
John Falcone, president and CEO of Sennheiser Electronics Corporation, Old Lyme, Connecticut, accepts the 2004 TEC Award for Wireless Technology for the popular evolution G2 (Generation 2) wireless microphone series.
The Neumann TLM127 is a large-diaphragm studio microphone with omni-directional and cardioid directional characteristics. In addition, via a special power supply, it is possible to use remote control to switch between the five directional characteristics: omni-directional, wide-angle cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid and figure-8.
Wolfgang Fraissinet, managing director marketing and sales, Neumann Berlin, holds the 2004 TEC Award for Microphone Technology bestowed upon the Neumann TLM 127, large-diaphragm, variable-pattern studio microphone.
Sennheiser's evolution wireless Generation 2 (G2) Series was launched at the beginning of this year, and features a new look, smaller bodypack and new intuitive operating concept. The Sennheiser evolution wireless G2 Series pushes the limits of wireless technology and features at affordable prices. The G2 series has carved a mid-point price/performance niche in the Sennheiser hierarchy of superior wireless systems
This is the sixth Microphone Technology honor for Neumann since the TEC Awards were first founded in 1985. Neumann was recognized for the TLM50 in 1991, then took home top honors for four years running with the M149 Tube (1997), TLM103 (1998), M147 (1999), and KMS105 (2000). Additionally, Sennheiser was awarded first place in the Wireless Technology category in 2003 for the hybrid Sennheiser SKM5000-N/Neumann KK105-S, and in 2002 won in the Ancillary Equipment category for the Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones.
In addition to the two awards, Neumann's U47 microphone was inducted into the TECnology Hall of Fame on October 29th during the 117th Audio Engineering Society Convention in San Francisco. The Neumann U47 is one of just ten innovations selected from the pre-1950 period for induction into the TECnology Hall of Fame.
In announcing the first 25 inductees from the pro audio industry's 125-year history, the TECnology Hall of Fame's elite committee of over 50 industry leaders, engineers, producers, designers, educators, journalists, and historians chose the Neumann U47 as the innovation of 1949, the year of its introduction. As the first multi-pattern condenser, the U47 ushered in the era of the modern studio mic. More than 50 years after its birth, it remains one of the world's most sought-after and desirable studio tools.
Established in 1945 in Wedemark, Germany, Sennheiser is the acknowledged world leader in microphone technology, RF-wireless and infrared sound transmission, headphone transducer technology, and most recently, in the development of active noise-cancellation. Sennheiser Electronic Corporation is the U.S. wholly-owned subsidiary, with headquarters in Old Lyme, Connecticut.
