Audio-Technica is mourning legendary producer, engineer and mixer Ed Cherney, who passed away on Oct. 22. Cherney received two GRAMMY awards, three Emmy Award nominations and five TEC Awards, and he was inducted into the TEC Awards Hall of Fame. Cherney offered his expertise on many of Audio-Technica’s flagship products going back to the ‘90s, and he personally contributed to the success of the 40 Series microphones. He was widely beloved, both personally and professionally, and will be missed in all corners of the industry. “We miss Ed Cherney very much already, as we truly considered him an important member of the Audio-Technica family,” said Phil Cajka, AudioTechnica U.S. president and CEO. “We will cherish his sense of humor, his professionalism and his ever-positive attitude. You could always count on him lighting up a room and making everyone’s day brighter. And his body of work in the industry speaks for itself. He was an immense talent with a big heart, and he was a real gift to everyone who got to know him or work with him.”
