The TEC Awards have been handed out for more than three decades. And to the MI and pro audio manufacturers, this award is the equivalent to The Oscar for the actor or The Grammy for the musician. Needless to say it's a great honor to be nominated for this prestigious award.
Further, keeping in mind that the nomination has been given by a panel of carefully selected audio professionals makes it even more exciting for us. Likewise, the final votes to find the winners are thrown by members of various professional organizations and audio industry websites. We will definitely be there at the TEC Award ceremony in connection with the NAMM Show in January 2017. Fingers crossed.
So what is the story behind these prestigious Technical Excellence & Creativity Awards? Well, first of all they go back more than three decades and has always had a strong focus on technical achievements and innovation.
That may sound a little dull at first, but there is more to it than that. 'Creativity' puts the 'C' in the TEC Awards and connect the products with the actual users. The finest producers in the world, the best mastering engineers, etc. Basically, all the things (products) and the people (producers) that make up the foundation that artists can shine upon - and maybe receive a Grammy of their own.
What it all boils down to is that music is the keyword here, connecting the two overall categories of the TEC Awards.
And that is exactly why it means so much to us to be nominated for this award. Because at the end of the day, we simply love music and want our monitors to help musicians and producers everywhere create the best-sounding music they possibly can. That is the most important thing to us.
