But, hey, the manual is hand signed!  "Each limited edition Mic comes with a hand,signed and numbered manual."

> "Each limited edition Mic comes with a hand,signed and numbered manual."

boojum, I parse that differently because of the comma. I think it says that the manual is numbered and signed--but that each "mic" (and have I said how much I dislic that spelling?) comes with a hand.

It might even be A MUMMY HAND! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

DS - if it comes with a hand, I am ordering a pair!   Yessir.  Hmm, how will I get them through customs?  Yecch.  They will probably smell, too.   :(

And if you really want to say it in German, it is Noy-mahn.  "On" as in "on top of."  Another way is to say, "Sennheiser."   <smirk, smirk>

The original Neumann is German and pronounced "noyman" - but the "retro" is British and made my Newman(n).

if you order a pair, you'll get two hands.  maybe you can make the hands grip the mics and use them as shockmounts.

Hmm.  Large diaphragm shocks that looks like hands.  That could be a moneymaker.   8)
