I've been around in this for a little over 40 years, did some work as a teen in an
old-time studio that had a 12x4 Langevin console... They always said "Lanj-a-vin".
In later years when the brand was mentioned, also always heard it as Lanj-a-vin.

FWIW.

Lonzh-uh-van is about as close as I can type. Except the final n is
not pronounced fully - it is a nasal French termination in which the
tongue tip does not touch the roof of the mouth.

I go with this one. Maybe even completely dropping the "-uh-".
