The History of Calrec Audio — The Early Years, Stephen Jagger (Wuthering Bytes 2015)

Hebden Bridge-based Calrec Audio is a supplier of audio mixing consoles for live broadcast with a range of consoles relied on by the world’s most successful broadcasters. The company formed in the 1950’s when a small group of electronic hobbyists got together to design and build hi fi equipment. This passion for electronics eventually took Calrec to the BBC, to America, and to a number of technological world firsts – with ideas and concepts that have shaped the way broadcasters mix audio to this day. Today, Calrec’s customers include international broadcasters like Sky, Al Jazeera, NBC and a host of Outside Broadcast companies. In the UK, every Premier football match is through a Calrec, and every single Superbowl game in the US. Calrec consoles are trusted to broadcast the most prestigious events in the world like the Oscars, the Grammys, royal weddings, presidential inaugurations and the World Cup. Still based in Hebden Bridge, all electronic design and manufacturing is done at the company’s Nutclough Mill headquarters, from mechanical and circuit design through surface mount, assembly and test. In this session, Stephen will tell the story of that growth. Stephen Jagger joined Calrec Audio straight from college in 1972 as a junior engineer. He became a director of the company in 1979 and was managing director from 1989-2009.
