Held at the Los Angeles Staples Center for the sixth consecutive year, the 51st Annual Grammy Awards show once again turned to Aphex remote controlled microphone preamplifiers. This year, in addition to the stacks of Model 1788A preamps that have been used at many other Grammy shows, the team responsible for the ceremony's audio broadcast also chose the new Aphex Model 188 remote preamplifiers, and handled the transport of audio signals with the Aphex Anaconda 64-channel digital snake.

Every note and word that was broadcast, sent through the house PA and recorded, went through 20 Aphex Model 1788A and an additional seven Model 188 remote-controlled preamplifiers. Led by audio technical director Michael Abbott, the audio engineering team included Peter Gray, a co-owner and engineer of PEG Audio Associates, who was in charge of the installation and operation for the recording and broadcast music audio.
