Microphones have been around for over a hundred years, and there are a handful of manufacturers that live on through the decades. Pearl Mikrofonlaboratorium AB is one of these companies. Founded in Stockholm in 1941 by Rune Rosander, Pearl celebrates its 70th anniversary this year.

Pearl is today supported by a group of private investors who have brought in a new business savvy to the company and a renewed passion for the use of Pearl microphone technology, its heritage and supreme performance in music recording. New board members Sven Olof Andersson and Sven Bornemark will ensure that products from Pearl Mikrofonlaboratorium will continue to please old and new customers and that the small scale production will remain in Sweden.
