GRAMMY Awards, IFPI... Recordings acclaimed

Since 1989 and adoption by Nashville (USA) studios and Tom Hidley (details in section History), quite a few sound engineers and producers over the world have recorded, mixed or finalized albums using JMF Audio power amplifiers in the control room.

The JMF Audio power amplifiers have allowed passionate sound engineers to take faster, nuanced and more confident decisions with increased pleasure of listening and working.

Recently the JMF Audio mains filter and distributor, model PCD 302, has been employed to power the whole recording equipment; enabling the capture to become more faithful to the performance. The sound quality directly benefits. More music, ambiance and nuances are translated to disc, for the enjoyment of every music lover at the playback, on all setups.  

On this page we'll list the recent recordings involving JMF Audio equipment on and/or released on Blu-ray Pure Audio discs. (please refer to tab References for previous recordings released as LP or CD).
