Transamerica Audio Group to Distribute GML Products

December 02, 2001

George Massenburg Labs (GML) has joined forces with Transamerica Audio Group (TAG) for product distribution in the United States. Distinguished among audio manufacturers for uncompromised fidelity and painstaking attention to detail, GML has long enjoyed the respect of engineers the world over. Indeed, front-line professional recording studios pride themselves on owning investment-quality GML equipment. Allowing TAG to handle distribution will permit GML to concentrate on what it does best: research and design.

GML was founded by current CEO George Massenburg, audio jack- (and master-) of-all-trades. Beginning with his seminal 1972 AES paper on the Parametric Equalizer, Massenburg has amassed a list of accomplishments that reads more like the composite resume of a distinguished institution's faculty. He has engineered and/or produced over 250 albums for such luminaries as Earth, Wind & Fire, Little Feat, Linda Ronstadt, Randy Newman, garnering numerous Grammys amid a sea of nominations. He also won Mix Magazine's TEC Awards for Producer and Engineer of the Year for Little Feat, as well as Engineer of the Year Award for both Linda Ronstadt and Lyle Lovett. He has designed, built, and managed ITI Studios in Huntsville, Maryland and The Complex in Los Angeles. He is an Adjunct Professor of Music Technology at McGill University in Montréal and visiting lecturer at UCLA and USC in Los Angeles and MTSU in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Not least among all these accomplishments, Massenburg chartered GML, Inc. in 1982 to produce the audio equipment he used in the above activities.

GML, LLC has recently integrated the manufacturing know-how of Manley Laboratories, Inc. to handcraft GML's products at Manley's Chino, California facility. Manley has built a stellar reputation for in-house manufacturing, everything from metal work, to circuit board manufacturing, to hand and wave soldering - and all with meticulous quality control. Currently, the GML product line features industry-standard parametric equalizers, microphone preamplifiers, dynamics processors, noise filters, A/D converters, and automation systems. A new processor, the Single Channel Integrated Input Channel GML 2020 will be on the floor at AES NY 2001.

"Having the privilege of distributing George Massenburg's equipment is a real coup," noted Brad Lunde, president of TAG. "GML gear is unrivaled. It has no peer. Owners continually say it's the best product they own. The only problem with the line is that this has been a well-kept secret among the upper echelon of the recording industry and the gear has been hard to find. TAG is ready to solve those issues and get GML equipment into the right hands."

"We have been looking for a company that is as good at representation and distribution as GML is at pro audio design, and we finally found one", effuses Massenburg. "Brad Lunde really understands what we do and why we do it. We're looking forward to significant growth in the next year."
