If you've ever worked in audio, ever noticed those long, skinny shotgun microphones used on sports events or ever worn an open-air headset, your life was touched by the inventor of several audio technology breakthroughs and founder of the company that bears his name, Dr. Fritz Sennheiser. He has passed away at the age of 98.
I remember the first Sennheiser mic that I worked with back in the 70s - it was amazing. Incomparably crisp, clean sound and a sharp hypercardoid pickup pattern. And the Sennheiser HD-414 headphones, the first ones I'd ever seen with open-air design back then, just blew me away with their clean, transparent response and rich bass.
The man clearly knew his stuff and had a passion for good sound. His inventions changed the audio industry forever.
RIP sir, and thanks for showing us How It's Done Right.
