Yellowtec is a brand firmly established in broadcast environments, particularly in radio stations. With the popularity of home studio, podcasting and web streaming, Yellowtec saw explosive growth in its m!ka mounting system business, originally designed for radio microphones, but now adjustable to computer monitors or even webcams. Thum+Mahr GmbH, where the Yellowtec brand was created, now decided to spin-off that business into a separate company.
