The Samuel L. Warner Memorial Medal Award Recipients

The Samuel L. Warner Memorial Medal, established in 1946 and sponsored by Warner Bros., honors the recipient by recognizing outstanding contributions in the design and development of new and improved methods and/or apparatus for motion picture sound, including any step in the process.

In recognition of his contributions to the design, measurement, and analysis of cinema speaker electronics for cinema mixing, review, and exhibition facilities. Meyer Sound was founded by Meyer and his wife Helen to create phase- and amplitude-corrected speaker systems. Starting with Skywalker Sound, Meyer Sound developed capabilities including vertical and horizontal pattern control that have now been used in dozens of sound stages, most recently at Fox’s Newman Scoring Stage. Meyer has designed unique testing and analysis tools. The M-Noise open-source signal and procedure was approved as AES75-2022 “AES Standard for Acoustics: Measuring loudspeaker maximum linear sound levels using noise” for quantifying a speaker system’s onset of nonlinearity.
