Russ Berger Wins 2007 TEF Heyser Award
Each year at the National System Contractors Association Expo Show the TEF™ Advisory Committee presents the TEF Heyser Award to an individual whose work with Time Delay Spectrometry (TDS) has significantly advanced professionalism in the Audio Industry.
2007 is the 10th annual award of the TEF Heyser and Russ Bergers' work has followed in the esteemed traditions of past recipients including Gerald Stanley, Don & Carolyn Davis, Eugene Patronis, Don Keele, Don Eger, Farrell Becker, Chips Davis, Helmuth Kolbe and Doug Jones.
It is a pleasure to be able to announce that Russ Berger is the recipient of the 2007 Award. His work in acoustics have continued Richard Heyser's legacy and contributed to a greater understanding of his work.
Russ Berger is president of Russ Berger Design Group, an acoustical and architectural design firm in Dallas, Texas, that has established itself as one of the industry’s premier studio/facility design firms. The recipient of eight TEC awards for acoustics and facility design, Russ has more than 2,500 projects to his credit, including recording, video, post production, radio and television broadcast studios, creative production spaces, home theaters and critical listening environments. Projects include NFL Films, National Public Radio, Sony Music Entertainment, World Wrestling Entertainment, RadioShack, Lakewood Church, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, NBC, ABC and CBS. He has provided studio design for Whitney Houston, Michael Bolton, Mariah Carey, Steve Miller, Don Henley, and John Fogerty, as well as countless recording studios across the United States.
