Georg Neumann relocated his company to the much smaller town of Gefell in Thuringia and resumed production at the beginning of the following year.
•
Production of Neumann microphones was moved into a newly built level 100 cleanroom factory in Wedemark, near Hannover.
•
In the United States, for example, the "sound" of the best-known crooners of the 1940s (e.g. Bing Crosby and later Elvis Presley) had utilized the ultra-smooth, rolled-off tone of RCA ribbon microphones; pop recordings in the 1950s (e.g. Frank Sinatra and later The Beatles) on the other hand were sharper, clearer, much more "present" and more "hi-fi"-sounding as the result of using condenser microphones with elevated upper-mid-range response.
•
After the reunification of Germany, the company in Gefell, which had continued to use the Neumann name, became known as Microtech Gefell.
•
At the close of the war, Thuringia fell under Soviet control and the company eventually became an East German "Publicly Owned Operation" (i.e. a state-run enterprise).
