The AES recognizes and honors those who have made outstanding
contributions to the field of audio in engineering, technology,
service, and the arts through its Awards Program.
In 2007, Gerhard Steinke was presented with the
AES Gold Medal Award for outstanding contributions to audio engineering, sustained over almost sixty years in the areas of radio and television broadcasting, studio acoustics, sound reinforcement, multichannel sound, and international standardization of audio.
