Dr. Helmut Wittek has been at Schoeps since 2005, and co-CEO since 2009. His range of responsibility now extends beyond the technical arena. He maintains very close contact with the pro audio and sound engineering communities and personifies the technical credibility of Schoeps.

The company remains privately owned, with Ulrich Schoeps as the majority shareholder. The long established company philosophy of high product quality, close cooperation with customers and sustainability will thus be seamlessly maintained.

Ulrich Schoeps, son of the company's founder, can look back upon a life's work encompassing the development of this small company into one of the world's most respected manufacturers of high-quality studio microphones. Under his leadership, Schoeps microphones have become the standard on the concert stage.
