"The P&E Wing was founded on the premise 'Dedicated to Audio Excellence,'" stated Maureen Droney, Managing Director, P&E Wing and Recording Technology. "We have many partners in this quest for audio excellence, and premier among them are the great recording studios like Capitol, which are, of course, ground zero for education about best recording practices, and whose entire reason for being is to serve artists and the music that they make. Capitol Studios shares the P&E Wing vision of promoting best practices and audio production guidelines throughout the music industry."
