New Delhi: Sennheiser, the German audio giant, has recently announced yet another historic case that is a testament to its journey of constantly shaping the future of audio and creating unique sound experiences for customers. Neumann, a part of the Sennheiser group and the world’s leading manufacturer of studio microphones, has sold two units of its legendary Neumann U67 mic to a studio that is synonymous with the Bollywood industry – the iconic Yash Raj Studios. This sale has made Yash Raj Studios the first ever to own the Neumann U67 mic in India.
What’s made this an even bigger milestone for Sennheiser is the person who was the first one to record their voice on this mic. Post the setting up of the mic in the studio, the first recording was done by the most venerable, respected, talented and exemplary singers the Bollywood industry has ever seen – non-other than Ms. Asha Bhosale ji.
Commenting on this memorable landmark, Mr. Vipin Pungalia, Director Professional Segment at Sennheiser Electronics India, said, “This is truly a moment of great pride and honor for us. We believe every brand always aims to create unique experiences for its audience. When we see some of the most iconic and respected names in the industry ever are seeking value from our products, we feel immense joy and honor in saying that we on the right path. With over a 70-year history that has been built on the culture of innovation and a vision to shape the future of the audio industry, Sennheiser has always been committed to creating products that don’t just understand the needs of the users, but also help the audio industry evolve. We would like to truly thank both, Yash Raj studios, as well as Asha ji, for allowing us the opportunity of contributing in a little way to the evergreen music they so beautifully create.”
On the purchase of Neumann U67, Mr. Vijay Dayal, Renowned Sound Engineer, said, “It was a phenomenal experience to have conducted this workshop for the pro audio industry on behalf of Neumann. We had an overwhelming response with such positive turnout of industry professionals, budding musicians, composers and sound engineers, myself and Meghdeep had a great time and the session was very interactive. We discussed everything, from the basics of Music mixing and Music production, till the details of each tracks in a chart buster. We are glad we could guide many on the process and workflow in making music. Hope this continues in the future as well. I personally, and on behalf of the pro audio industry, really appreciate Jibu Ramachandran for his sharp understanding of the industry, knowing what the industry wants and coming up with such unique events and thanks to Neumann and Sennheiser India for putting it together. I look forward to many such events in future.”
