The company has been in business for more than 65 years, and its microphones have traveled to Mars (on the Mars Rover) and to the moon with Neil Armstrong in 1969.
Shares traded down Monday, along with just about every other stock, but on Friday traded up 7% in limited trading as KN.wi. The stock was down about 4.5% at $30.68, after opening at $31.23.
