Mic Brand Pronunciations

[John Froton]

I am curious about how say some of the manufacturer names correctly when talking because I have heard people pronouncing them differently than I had assumed --

for instance:

Neumann -- is it NOOman or neOIman?

Audio Technica -- is it TECHnica or techNEEca?

Schoeps -- is it Scheps or Schopes?

I'm sure there are more.

Does anyone want to clarify or add to the list?

That's fun! I'd say:

noy-munn

zen-high-zer

 

[GenJerDan]

And we won't even ask how to pronounce R0DE.

That's like Hen3ry.

(Well, no prize, really.)

That's exactly the same ö as in Schöps.
