Awards Rising Star, as selected by Audio Pro International and sponsored by Sennheiser. Finally: two special awards. Acoustician and studio designer Andy Munro was rewarded with Lifetime Achievement recognition. He commented: “I’m completely overwhelmed! It’s been something like 40 years since
Sean Karpowicz picked up the award for Marketing Campaign/Initiative of the Year on behalf of Soundcraft Studer and its striking ‘Faces’ series of images
I started my own company and it’s just grown and grown. We’ve worked with just about everyone – not just the studios but the bands, the producers, the musicians and I think we just had a simple common goal – it’s all about the sound.” BEIRG, the British Entertainment Industry Radio
Group, took the Grand Prix for its tireless campaigning for adequate access to interference- free spectrum for wireless technology users. John Steven of BEIRG received the award on behalf of the group – but not before James Gordon of sponsor DiGiCo had invited his staff on to the stage! Steven revealed that the British
Sennheiser sponsored the Rising Star award: Alan March was on hand to present the prize to Xavier Stephenson of Metropolis Studios (right)
government is the only one in the world to compensate pro-audio users who had to re-equip following the spectrum sell-off – and that was principally down to the efforts of BEIRG. Sixteen awards done, and a party waiting to be had, as winners and guests filed upstairs for the Fineline
After-Party, accompanied by the tunes of DJ LoveShi (and Intent Media’s very own Sharifa Marshall.) When this correspondent
reached the office on Friday – eventually – the email chimed with messages of praise for the event. You were thrilled? Us, doubly so. See you next year. n
