Ron Murphy (March 3, 1948 - January 13, 2008) was an American audio engineer and the music producer of Detroit's NSC/Sound Enterprises. Murphy was responsible for the mastering of some of the most respected Detroit techno vinyl releases, for such labels as Underground Resistance, KMS, Metroplex, Black Nation, Direct Beat, Axis, Planet E, Basic Channel and many others.
Ron Murphy was the reason that the Detroit Techno records sounded crisp and clear, in contrast to the contemporary Chicago house music, whose records were mastered under the direction of Larry Sherman who had been the owner of Musical Products since 1983. It was the only vinyl pressing plant in Chicago and some have remarked that its records sounded like sandpaper, mostly due to its use of recycled vinyl.
New York house music's records were pressed by Herb Powers, Jr., much to everyone's satisfaction.
