When speaking of the most revered audio console designer in the history of recording, who's name comes up first every time?
EARS is very pleased to welcome once again our special guest this month, iconic designer and audio legend Rupert Neve. Often credited as the Father of the modern recording console, Mr. Neve hardly needs any introduction, even to the most casual of audio enthusiasts. His creations such as the 8058 and 8068 mixing desks remain in high demand now more than ever, even 40 years after they were built. Today Rupert continues to push the envelope of pure analogue design with his latest products such as the 5088 Discrete Analogue Mixer.
EARS is also very honored to welcome Josh Thomas, Director of Sales and Strategic Alliances at Rupert Neve Designs who has worked closely with Rupert in implementation and marketing. He will be bringing some new Neve "toys" to show off, demo, and display. While Josh will be joining us live and in person, Mr. Neve will be joining us via the marvel of Skype in the state-of-the-art Mayne Stage theater.

About Mayne Stage:
With a nod to the historic past of this grand facility, Mayne Stage features a restaurant (Act One Pub) and performance space that reflects the unique and diverse history of Rogers Park. Mayne Stage is happy to present a variety of terrific acts in its 230-seat multipurpose entertainment venue.
The theater opened as Morse Theater in 1912, a vaudeville and movie house. In the 1930s, the facility was remodeled using an Art Deco theme and renamed the Co-Ed Theater because of its proximity to Loyola University. The Co-Ed closed in 1954, and from 1956 until 2008 the building served in various capacities from synagogue to a shoe repair store.
Now, with a recent multi-million dollar restoration and renovation project, the entertainment and dining venue is poised to be a magnet for significant development in this north-side neighborhood.
In addition to live performance, and utilizing its state-of-the-art audio and video systems, the venue offers space for studio recordings, rehearsals, educational programs, corporate events and private parties.
EARS would like to thank Chris Ritter, Kat Krzynowek, and Tim Schoen for their assistance in organizing the event in this fine space.
Feel free to forward this invitation to those who might be interested in attending.
In addition: EARS (Engineering And Recording Society of Chicago) has been building an EARS Facebook Fan Page that is growing at an amazingly fast pace since its inception. Presently, we?re more than 1300 members strong and expect to be well beyond that by the end of the summer. This is an open forum group that allows members and non-members alike to network and interface in many areas including, but not limited to the music industry, the media arts, fines arts and academia. Presently, the EARS Page has attracted many award winning creative people of our industry including producers, engineers, mixers, artists, music industry execs, managers, label execs, photographers, publishers, Cyberpunk Cowboys, and, most importantly, musicians, as well as students ...and the list goes on and on.
