Bio

Dr. Karl Schuemann has made the study of art and science of ultra-high-fidelity loudspeaker design a lifelong passion. With undergraduate degrees in Physics and Mathematics, and a Doctor of Medicine degree from Washington University of St. Louis, he has always had a particular interest in the human ear/brain system, its inherent capabilities, and limitations, and especially in the discovery and understanding of which aspects of loudspeaker design are most critical for our ability to perceive reproduced sound as “natural” and “lifelike.” He serves his local community as a volunteer firefighter including fire prevention/mitigation, wildland fire response, and as an EMS Emergency Medical/First Responder. In his spare time, he enjoys mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and windsurfing with his wife and two daughters.
