tourism for gearheads

None of the audio engineers I know look like this guy.
He graces the front page of the Sennheiser website, though, and I’ll be meeting him tomorrow, assuming he works in the microphone factory, which I guess is unlikely.
But hey, maybe the modeling thing is just a sideline gig. Maybe he’ll be at the factory, hunched over a bench, hand-sputtering gold onto 2-micron mylar membranes in a desktop vacuum chamber, bluetooth headset in one ear and weightless cellphone hovering nearby…

Connecticut, nein! I’m in Germany. The factory where most Sennheiser mics and all the Neumann mics is made is in Wennebostel, Germany, just north of Hannover — a mere 258 km from where I’m sitting right now. (258 km might sound like a lot, but that’s just metric. Everything in Europe is smaller, like it’s all right next door to each other, give or take, you know, a 3-hr train ride.)
