John Meyer Honoured With Samuel L. Warner Memorial Medal For Contribution To Cinema Sound
SMPTE, the international society for media professionals, technologists, and engineers, has
awarded
the 2022 Samuel L. Warner Memorial Medal to John Meyer, the co-founder, President, and CEO of
Meyer
Sound. According to a SMPTE statement, the honour was bestowed "in recognition of his
contributions
to the design, measurement, and analysis of cinema speaker electronics for cinema mixing, review,
and exhibition facilities." Formal presentation of the award will take place at the SMPTE Awards
Gala, to be held on October 27 at the Loews Hollywood Hotel.
"I am deeply grateful for the industry recognition that comes with this medal," says John
Meyer.
"Certainly, it acknowledges my personal commitment to excellence in film sound, which is a passion
that goes back to my childhood. I always enjoyed the experience of good movie sound - and I was
annoyed when it was bad, which was too often the case. I always thought it could be better, and
making that happen has been a major focus of my life's work."
