Established in September 2022, the Music Producer & Engineers’ Guild of Australia represents the commercial interests and community development of music producers and sound engineers across Australia through advocacy and engagement. Both Sennheiser and The Guild share a common interest in nurturing up-and-coming and established talent while being a part of a community of like-minded enthusiasts that work towards better representation of those within the industry.
Speaking on the partnership, MPEG Guild Director, Anna Laverty shared her excitement to partner with Sennheiser Group, recognising that the two share the same passion for supporting the audio production and engineering industry in Australia. “Sennheiser and Neumann with their combined 90+ year heritage in audio are revered in the industry. The products and technologies that these brands deliver are indispensable for our members and enable them to reach the highest level of their craft in producing top tier sound recordings.”

We couldn’t be happier to join the Music Producer and Engineers’ Guild and look forward to a long friendship.”
As the Guild evolves through 2023, Sennheiser Group and MPEG are preparing to partner on several key initiatives to boost the local Australian music scene after a challenging few years impacted by the pandemic.
