Neumann, the founder of the German audio company Neumann Berlin, made several significant contributions to the field of microphone manufacturing.
Capsule Principle is one of his most notable breakthroughs:
- The Capsule Principle: Neumann is credited with developing the capsule principle, a fundamental design concept for condenser microphones. This principle involves separating the diaphragm, which vibrates in response to sound waves, from the electronics that convert those vibrations into electrical signals. This separation allows for greater flexibility in microphone design and improved audio quality.
