spyder9, I promise that I get the joke, and unfortunately for a lot of other microphone manufacturers your guess would probably be right. But I really was referring to my friend Jörg Wuttke, the chief engineer of the company at the time (mostly retired since then).
Until two years ago Schoeps never had any marketing employees at all; now they have one working part-time. Even that would have been impossible during Dr. Schoeps' lifetime. His attitude was, "If you want my microphones, you will come to me." Telefunken, Studer, Siemens and Philips "came to him" and thereafter sold many Schoeps microphones--but under their own labels, not Schoeps'. As far as I can determine, the company didn't publish any sales literature for the first ~15 years after it was founded.
When I was first looking to try a pair of Schoeps mikes in 1974 there were no dealers in the U.S.--just a hard-to-find distributor in rural Pennsylvania who would order them from the factory if you sent him full payment in advance (which I did, and then waited two months for delivery). The existence of the microphones was more like a rumor than a definite fact.
So no, it definitely was not a marketing employee whom I saw doing what I described, since no such employee existed; it was the engineer who co-owned the patent on the design of the microphone's electronics.
