Writing
Between 2018 and 2023, I wrote over 160 articles for music magazines like Professional Audio, Amazona, Bonedo, ProAudio.de and Mobile Fidelity — mostly gear reviews featuring recordings you could listen to and judge for yourself.
Highlights include interviews with Konrad Wolf, the designer of the AKG C12, ELA M 251 and AKG 414, Sound Devices CEO Matt Anderson, Spitfire Audio's Paul Thompson, and GEMA chairman Ralf Weigand.
I no longer review gear, having joined Neumann in 2023.
The archive remains online — the tests still stand.
Unfortunately many of my print articles aren't available online.
Here you can read my interview with Konrad Wolf →
