Featured on the Backstage Insider With Jim Norris Podcast
Jim Norris talks with Michael Nunan, a multi-generational Guelphite whose career has taken him from the Sheridan College media arts program to nearly three decades in television audio at TSN, CTV and Bell Media, and now to Evertz, where he helps carry the legendary Studer brand forward from its new Canadian home in Burlington.
Michael shares how he got his start as a Chyron operator at Electric Images, why learning every job in the control room shaped his career, and how the digital and HD era brought the fidelity conversation from cinema into factual television.
He also explains how his keynote at AES Toronto's Expo 25 grew, in a feverish few weeks, into his new book, *What Comes After Next?*, a forward-looking look at how the audio industry can think more effectively about its future.

Every great event looks effortless to the audience. Behind the scenes, it's anything but.
On the next Backstage Insider webinar, I'm sitting down with Melissa Deslauriers, Director of Client Engagement at CCR Solutions, to walk through the full life of an event: from the first truck at load-in to the moment the last case rolls out.
Melissa has spent 30+ years working alongside event planners and production teams. She teaches Event Technology at Conestoga College, sits on the board of The Sustainable Events Forum, and serves on the jury for the Eventex Awards.
We'll cover what separates smooth shows from stressful ones, where planners and production teams lose time and money, and what you can do differently on your next event.
40 minutes of guided discussion, then 20 minutes of live Q&A. Bring your questions.

AESToronto Session: What Comes After Next
In 2025, Michael took the AES Expo stage to argue that the future doesn’t arrive head-on—it arrives sideways, through unplanned recombination. That talk became a book, What Comes After Next?, to be launched in Canada at this event. This talk picks up where the book leaves off, pushing the argument a level deeper—past the question of what’s coming, into the harder one of what we should actually build in preparation and what we should stop building that never belonged there. Expect a working argument for practitioners, not a retrospective.

Greater clarity, more accurate monitoring, and the confidence that what you’re hearing is coming from the speakers, not the structure around them.
That was the goal at Massey Hall’s Dean Cameron Recording Studio, where precise overhead speaker placement and vibration control were critical to its Dolby Atmos system. Legendary producer and engineer Eddie Kramer recommended IsoAcoustics V120 isolation mounts to help reduce vibration transfer through the ceiling pipes while providing the flexibility to precisely position each speaker.
Learn how Eddie Kramer and Massey Hall COO Doug McKendrick explain why isolation made a “game-changing” difference in clarity.
