Famed for his classical recordings, Lindberg is now focusing on immersive audio projects that require high-quality mics and careful placement techniques
 
Dedicated microphone techniques and ensuring a clean and short signal path is how Norwegian Producer and Engineer Morten Lindberg achieves great sound capture for his classical music label, 2L. DPA microphones play a key part in this process because they provide the transparency and sonic clarity he needs for his projects. This is particularly true for his immersive recordings, which are not only transforming the entire listening experience, but also overturning some very basic concepts regarding how music is composed and performed.
 
The music captured by 2L features Norwegian composers and performers and an international repertoire reflected in the Nordic atmosphere. 2L began as a production company, but is now also a record label, releasing 10 to 15 recordings a year, all on Hybrid SACD, Pure Audio Blu-ray and distributed as HiRes files. Until 2020, Lindberg held the record for the most Grammy nominations without a win ― 36 in total, with 28 of them in craft categories such as Best Engineered Album, Best Surround Sound Album and Producer of the Year. Finally, at this year’s Grammys, Lindberg carried off the award for Best Immersive Audio with the album LUX.
 
“I believe our recordings make an impact because they come from the heart and soul of everyone involved,” Lindberg says. “We don’t speculate on what a commercial market might want ― we make what we would like to experience ourselves, and that makes it personal.”
