Dr. Bill Miller, St. Louis	Posted Hide Post No, if you are a German speaker it is "Noyman"; if you talk to some in the company, even in the US, THEY call it "Noyman". Bill Bill Miller

gbeecham	Posted Hide Post Dieter ought to know, I would guess, and he pronounced it "Noyman" in the "K&K Trinity vs. Neuman mic" sample on th K&K website. Same way they pronounce it in New Joisey, BTW...

Randy Carone	Posted Hide Post Folks from Brooklyn or Queens are the only ones who say "Joisey". Think Ed Norton from the Honeymooners. #6186 2000 OM-3HG # 924 1994 C-10 black Dlx custom w/cutaway

jrfree	Posted Hide Post Fran, I'm afraid you're wrong both times. Neither Shopes or Shepps - it is pronounced "Sherps." Ask any German how to pronounce the "oe" diphthong. BTW, I'm not one, but know one. While we're at it, why do they say Birkenshtock and not Birkenstock? Ain't languages fun??? John.

elambo "Moderator"	Posted Hide Post I've heard Germans, and recently a German-speaking Russian pronounce it 'shopes.' The company has actually removed any alternations from their name, at least in the English market, so anything is fair game. To be honest, I hear half the engineers call it shopes and half call it sheps.
