"The creative fearlessness of Geoff Emerick and the immeasurable contribution that Shure Incorporated has made to the world of audio are the achievements of true visionaries," said Producer & Engineers Wing director Leslie Lewis. "Emerick's groundbreaking and skillful techniques continue to inspire generations and Shure's audio equipment consistently sets the standard for excellence. The world would have sounded very different without the contributions of our honorees."
Three-time Grammy-winning engineer Geoff Emerick is perhaps best known as the engineer at Abbey Road Studios who worked on many of the Beatles' classic recordings, including the 1966 landmark Revolver, Grammy Album Of The Year winner Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the 'White Album' and Abbey Road. Being relatively new to the craft at the time of their first collaboration, Emerick was ideally suited to work with the ground-breaking quartet. He tapped into the potential of contemporary technology and expanded the horizons of studio recording.
