WSDG (Walters-Storyk Design Group) has become the newest Pro Partner of the METalliance (Music Engineering & Technology Alliance), and the first recording studio designers to be invited to become a member. Pro Partner membership is limited to companies that ‘have shown the ability to manufacture and distribute products and services that meet the organisation’s professional audio standards’.
‘WSDG’s incredible legacy of innovation and excellence in recording studio design speaks for itself,’ says METalliance's George Massenburg. ‘They embody all of the core traits inherent to the mission of The METalliance and we are thrilled to include them in our organisation. All of our Pro Partners must be unanimously agreed upon to be included, and with WSDG that was an incredibly easy decision to reach.’
‘All of us here at WSDG greatly respect the members of the METalliance and appreciate all the exemplary work the organisation has done to elevate the bar of professional audio standards,’ says WSDG Co-Founding Partner John Storyk. ‘We’re thrilled to be the fist design firm to partner with them as a member.’
‘In all our design and integration work we have strived to reflect the highest touchstones, and interaction with the METalliance has been essential in these projects,’ adds WSDG Partner and Director of Business Development, Sergio Molho. ‘This METalliance Pro Partnership recognition validates the attention to quality that we put into all our work and opens up new possibilities for collaboration in the future.’
