Rich newby Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hi guys, just a little though that popped into my head. Over the years I have came across as many different pronunciation of the word behringer, and I finally decided to find out how it was pronounced. So far I have came across bay-ringerbeh-rinjerbeh-ringer And also tallescopes, I have came across tall-e-scopetal-e-scope Which of these is the actual proper definitions? CheersRich EDIT: Just to make myself clear, on the talescope pronunciations, it should be EH instead of E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Well - I say:beh-ring-erand:tall-eh-scope (or more often) Damn awkward thing not meant for people with long legs and a slightly larger belly than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich newby Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 So TALL-eh-scope, as in "that cranes TALL"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Tall - as in story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbsy Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Interesting! I've always said it "BEAR-inj-er" Mind you, the limit of my German is "Zweites grosse bier, bitte." However, this useful phrase has seen me through 3 installations and numerous TV gigs in Frankfurt! Tall eh scope we agree on, though I've heard lots of variations on this one!

bruce Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 My understanding is that it has a hard "g", as in "finger". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Beech Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 hmmm.... I've always said behringer as ber-inj-er orwhatever it was you wrote... most people I know have aswell.... Interesting one that.... Lets see. are there any more technically based that people pronounce differently? erm 3 I've thought of. 2 with the same issuesin bracket is how I've always pronounced it. Neutrik (Noytrik)Neumann (Noymann)Alesis (AlEsis) Could be quite interesting, probably wont be. rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbsy Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Nope...this one I DO know after many jobs in Germany...the "neu" syllable is pronouced "noy". Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterT Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I've always said Behringer as (Bearinjer)Neumann and Neutrik as above (Noytrik and Noymann) The one that always gave me grief was Bruel and Kjaer Solved by the company themselves becoming B&K and then DPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappie Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Brϋel & Kjær didn't become B&K and then DPA. Brϋel & Kjær are now environmental noise and vibration measurement specialists (what they have always done). Danish Pro Audio (DPA) is a spin off from their specialist pro audio division. For what it's worth, I believe it's pronounced Broo-el and K-jay-er. I will ask a Scandinavian family member the next time I see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
