2008 Technical Grammy Award, Individual
John Morgan Eargle
Author, educator, engineer and product developer, the late John Eargle influenced a generation of audio professionals. Joining JBL as a consultant in 1976, Eargle soon after became VP of product development. In the early 1980s, he returned to a consulting role as senior director, product development and application, the position he held for the rest of his life. Eargle championed the concept of flat power response in sound reinforcement applications, and conceived the application of Bi-Radial constant-coverage horns to both studio monitors and cinema systems. In 2002, Eargle and other JBL engineers received a Scientific and Engineering Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the concept, design and engineering of the modern constant-directivity, direct radiator-style motion picture loudspeaker systems.
A longtime NARAS member, Eargle engineered and/or produced more than 275 albums, including releases from Grammy-winners Joe Williams and Ruth Brown. In 2001, he won a Grammy for Best Engineered Album, Classical. He was also a member of AMPAS, SMPTE, IEEE, the Acoustical Society of America and past-president of the Audio Engineering Society, which established a scholarship fund in his name under the auspices of the AES Educational Foundation.
