LOS ANGELES, CA – Pink's aerial artistry, the Black Eyed Peas, the 3D tribute to Michael Jackson and the pairings Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli and Leon Russell with the Zac Brown all made the 52nd annual Grammy Awards a night to remember. Earthworks' PM40 PianoMic system helped optimize the artistry of the piano accompaniment heard by 25.8 million viewers.
John
Harris, partner in Music Mix Mobile (M3), served as music mixer for this year's
Grammy Awards broadcast, as he has done for the past 16 years. Harris has
himself been awarded two Grammy Awards (for Best Engineered Album and for Album
of the Year), along with five Emmy Awards and several TEC Awards. He has some
definite opinions about how to mic a piano, and about the Earthworks PM40.
