The Lipinski label showcases works of renowned recording engineer/producer Andrew Lipinski.

Mr. Lipinski's perfect hearing abilities were recognized by the United States National Bureau of Standards, where he was the only professional audio engineer to achieve a perfect score on the listening evaluation of phonographic recordings.

"A score of 10 correct of 10 selections would be expected 1 out of 1000 times"
- National Bureau of Standards (NBSIR 88-3725) on Mr. Lipinski's score

Andrew Lipinski has an academic background in both, music and sound engineering, with years of award-winning professional experience. He received his professional training under the guidance of professor Antoni Karuzas at the State Academy of Music in Warsaw, Poland (Tonmeister Program), having been awarded a Master's degree summa cum laude.

His diploma recital included avant-garde quadraphonic analog recordings. His passion for surround never expired. The distinctiveness of his contemporary surround recordings emerge from a background filled with decades of practical surround experiments coupled with painstaking technological research and development.

Mr. Lipinski produced and engineered hundreds of LP and CD recordings for European and American labels and for organizations such as the International Jazz Federation. He has engineered and produced for radio, TV stations, and studios in Europe, America, and in the Far East.
