BAE Audio President to Participate on Nashville Panel

BAE Audio president Mark Loughman will participate in a panel at the 9th annual Welcome to 1979 Recording Summit in Nashville, Tennessee.

The panel is entitled “Inside The World’s Most Famous EQs” and will discuss a range of classic vintage equalizers.

Loughman will joined by Jeff Steiger of Classis Audio Products, EveAnna Manley of Manley Labs, and Bill Skibbe of Key Club Recording Company.

“I’m always eager to delve into the finer points of these great EQs that have been featured on just about every record you’ve ever heard,” said Loughman. “They’re truly remarkable feats of design and engineering, and BAE Audio’s success is a testament to how coveted these over forty-year-old designs remain. They really came to define the sound of recorded music as we know it.”

The Summit, held at the Welcome to 1979 studio complex, provides an opportunity for attendees to take in panels from top experts in the audio community in the intimate environs of the spacious 7,500 square foot studio. Without microphones, a stage, or slides, the intimate panels more closely mimic natural conversations about craft amongst engineers without the formality of a conventional trade show setting. The Panels are generally followed by an open question and answer period. Other highlights of the weekend include a live recording session cut to vinyl and listening parties of classic recordings. The recording summit is limited to 60 attendees is this year’s event is sold out.

“I’m really excited to welcome Mark Loughman to this year’s Recording Summit,” said producer, engineer, and Welcome to 1979 studio proprietor Chris Mara, who started the annual event. “I know how well-respected Mark is in the industry and I’ve used BAE Audio products myself. BAE really takes the time to really get to know the original hardware and create something faithful to it, so I’m excited to hear what he has to tell us.”
