The 49th Annual GRAMMY® Awards were held February 11, 2007, at the
Staples Center in Los Angeles. Continuing its groundbreaking tradition
as the first major awards show to make full use of HDTV and 5.1 surround
sound formats, this year’s GRAMMY Awards again set the standard
for broadcast entertainment with an elaborate and highly technical production.
The team assembled for this year’s GRAMMYs included many returning
contributors, all renowned in their particular areas of expertise.
The sound system was provided by ATK/Audiotek with Ron Reeves and Mikael
Stewart running FOH (front-of-house). Phil Ramone and Hank Neuberger
of The Recording Academy® supervised the broadcast audio. The 5.1
surround and stereo feeds were supplied by New York-based XM Productions/Effanel
Music with their L7 remote recording truck, along with music mixers
John Harris, Eric Schilling and orchestra music mixer/lead engineer
Joel Singer.
