The Recording Academy will present the 2007 Technical Grammy Award to Yamaha Corporation at a special ceremony prior to the 49th Annual Grammy Awards on February 11, 2007 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The award is part of the Special Merit Awards category ceremony, and is voted on by the Recording Academy’s Board of Trustees and its Producers & Engineers Wing.
