HARMAN® Professional Renews Support of The Recording Academy® Producers & Engineers Wing®

HARMAN® Professional’s AKG® Acoustics, dbx®, JBL® Professional and Lexicon® reaffirm their commitment as official P&E Wing Sponsors

Santa Monica, Calif. — The Recording Academy® Producers & Engineers Wing® is proud that its relationship with HARMAN® Professional’s leading audio brands AKG® Acoustics, JBL® Professional and Lexicon® has been increasingly successful in its efforts to promote quality in audio. As official “P&E Wing Sustaining Partners,” these brands have participated in a wide variety of activities, including being the title sponsor of high-profile regional Academy Chapter events, having a presence on the P&E Wing section of the new GRAMMY® PRO site and being supporters of the P&E Wing Manufacturer’s Council. Now, for 2014-2015, HARMAN Professional has reaffirmed its sponsorship and has also added dbx® as a fourth brand that will work closely with the P&E Wing to support its initiatives and membership.

Innovative HARMAN Pro/P&E Wing projects in 2013-2014 included the “From Mic to Mix” live recording demonstration in Miami featuring Latin pop sensation Aymee Nuviola with her 10 piece band; “En La Mezcla,” the first and second annual P&E Wing Latin GRAMMY Awards® celebrations, held in Las Vegas just prior to the 14th and 15th annual Latin GRAMMY Awards; and the Nashville community-driven grand opening of Pearl-Cohn Entertainment Magnet High School’s audio recording studio and learning center. Other joint HARMAN/P&E Wing-supported endeavors during the past year included a successful High Resolution Audio press event held at Jungle City Studios in New York City during CE (Consumer Electronics) Week, and numerous incarnations of the popular “Lost In Translation” educational series, in which GRAMMY®-winning engineer/producer Andrew Scheps demonstrates the benefits of High Resolution Audio.

“HARMAN proudly continues to support the Producers & Engineers Wing,” noted Bryan Bradley, GM, Loudspeaker, Headphone & Microphone Strategic Business Unit, HARMAN Professional. “Their work as advocates for the recording industry, artists, equipment manufacturers and listeners is of vital importance in this period of transition in the music industry and beyond. We look forward to another year of rewarding projects together.”
