The Grammy Museum has added 200 custom AKG headphones to provide the soundtrack to its exhibits and programmes. In fact, AKG is a Grammy winner of its own, earning a Technical Grammy in 2010 in recognition of AKG’s contributions to the art and science of music recording and performance through innovation and excellence in product design.

Part of the LA Live complex in Downtown Los Angeles, The Grammy Museum is an interactive celebration of music, offering four floors and 30,000-sq-ft of exhibits, interactive experiences and films on the history of music, the creative process, the art and technology of recording, and the history of the Grammy Awards.

‘When The Grammy Museum opened in 2008, we outfitted the entire museum with Harman Professional audio equipment, and it has been an incredibly successful relationship from the beginning,’ says Grammy Museum Senior Manager for Production & Interactive Design, Eric Stock.

‘We are happy to continue this relationship with the addition of these custom AKG headphones, which will only add to the interactive experience of the Museum.’

‘Given the number of Grammy-winning music professionals who have used AKG equipment over the years, and considering AKG’s own Technical Grammy in 2010, the history of AKG and the history of popular music go hand in hand,’ says Karam Kaul, Director of Marketing for AKG. ‘We are honoured to have so many visitors learning about music history every day through our products, and we hope their use of AKG gives them an even greater understanding of the tools that are used by the best in the business.’
