A privately-held, family-owned American company, Shure
Incorporated has been a world leader in audio electronics
since its founding by S. N. Shure in 1925. Best known for microphones,
both wired and wireless, they design and manufacture a wide variety
of audio equipment — from hi-fidelity phono cartridges to digital
signal processors and wireless systems. They invented the first practical
stereo phono cartridge, and the U.S. military selected their microphones
for use in World War II tanks and airplanes. The quality and reliability
of Shure products are legendary. Today, Shure continues the legacy
of the SM58 vocal microphone and SM57 instrument microphone —
arguably the most-favored microphone used in studios worldwide —
with innovations like the KSM line of studio condenser microphones
and ULX wireless systems. Shure products are routinely requested for
some of the world's most high-profile live TV events, including the
GRAMMY Awards, the Academy Awards, the Super Bowl, and the Olympics.
Three-time GRAMMY winning engineer/producer 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 groundbreaking quartet. He tapped into the potential
of contemporary technology and expanded the horizons of studio recording.
Emerick's adventurous spirit and experimental attitude, coupled
with the revolutionary musical vision of the Beatles, forever changed
the way in which pop albums are created.
