Waves Audio was informed that it will be presented with a Technical GRAMMY Award during the GRAMMY Week celebration in February, 2011.
The news was made public as part of The Recording Academy announcing its Special Merit Awards recipients. A special invitation-only ceremony will be held on Saturday, February 12, and a formal acknowledgment will be made during the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards telecast, which will be held at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 13.
With this presentation of the Technical GRAMMY, Waves joins a prestigious list of previous recipients which includes such well-known names as Shure, Yamaha, Apple Computer and Sony/Philips.
