For those of you who aren't familiar with the phonetic alphabet, the vowel in "Brauner" is like that in "loud". "au" is always pronounced that way in German. Generally speaking, the relation between spelling and pronounciation is pretty consistent in German.

BTW: Dirk Brauner's first name doesn't rhyme with "Kirk" (or "jerk"). The vowel is a light i as in "it".
 
So its:

Deerk Browner ?

Damn, I just listened to the mp3, so it's - Bey-ring-er, now even the pronunciation sucks. I always used to say Bear- in -jer.

Actually both pronunciations are correct. Newman is the Anglicized pronunciation. Noyman is the Germanic pronunciation.
 
Thanks for clearing that up, we've been waiting since November 2003 :eek:
 
Me too! I always thought that it was pronounced Neumann. :p
 
I am sure the Neumann people cannot pronounce my name either. So, I feel I have a right to mispronounce it.

Wrong - Neumann is a German name for a German company.

So "noy-mann" is the correct pronunciation and "Newman" is the translation, *not* the pronunciation.

Absolutely correct. I might add for most Americans that the pronunciation sounds more like "Noy-Mahn", with the founder's first name being pronounced like "Gayeorg".

Yes - that's right.

The "nn" is a long n, which is why i put nn and you put hn.


And I'm hoping to get my new pair of DMI-2P on the first shipment out of Germany next week. :D
