Audio Pioneer Dies Aged 98
Prof. Dr. Fritz Sennheiser, Audio Pioneer and Founder of Sennheiser Electronic GmbH & Co. K, has died age 98.

He retired in 1982, handing over the reins to his son, Prof. Dr. sc. techn. Jrg Sennheiser.
Fritz will be remembered for his genuine love of audio technology, his creativity, hard work and generosity in the industry.
