Held at London’s Grosvenor House and attended by the UK’s top producers, engineers and mixers, the 9th Annual MPG Awards saw renowned mixing console designer Rupert Neve receive a Special Recognition Award.
He accepted the award from Wimberley in Texas, as presented by Producer/Engineer Tim Palmer (Pearl Jam, U2, Robert Plant, Ozzy Osbourne among many others).
‘Most producers and engineers – both old and new – will have forged a “special relationship” with some incarnation of a Rupert Neve console, channel, compressor etc. at some point in their careers,’ says MPG Awards MD, Tony Platt. ‘The MPG is delighted to present the Special Recognition Award 2017 to him.
‘The mark of the best audio production tools is their ability to inspire creativity as well as delivering the highest quality – and, indeed, Rupert continues to design tools that do exactly that. And what is more, he does it with flair and style.’
