Ninth Annual Mix LA Open set for 14 June at Malibu CC
An estimated 144 golfers from the music and pro audio industries will gather on Monday, 14th June at the Malibu Country Club to tee off for charity in the Ninth Annual Mix LA Open. The tournament, presented by the Mix Foundation for Excellence in Audio and Mix magazine, benefits the hearing conservation efforts of the House Ear Institute's Sound Partners program, music education programs of Sound Art in Los Angeles, and scholarships for students of the audio arts and sciences.
World-renowned record producers, engineers and recording artists are regular attendees of the tournament. This year's hole-in-one prize will be an Acura TL provided by South Bay Acura of Torrance, and featuring a 5.1 sound system designed by engineer Elliot Scheiner. Following the tournament a silent auction will feature a Gibson guitar, assorted audio gear, sports memorabilia, wine/food baskets and audio industry mementos. The tournament concludes with a "19th Hole" barbecue dinner and awards presentation.
"Every year the tournament brings together a wider group of participants from the pro audio and recording industries," says tournament director, Karen Dunn, "and we all have such a good time. It's a great way for folks to get out of the studio or office, have fun together, and contribute to these causes that concern so many of us, and which continue to need our support."
Top pro audio companies, manufacturers and recording studios have once again come forward to support the benefiting charities by sponsoring one of the holes or contests (including longest drive, longest putt and closest-to-the-pin). At press time, sponsoring companies include: Absolute Music, Audio-Technica, Design FX, Gibson Guitar Corp., KRK, Moonlight Mastering, Record Plant, Shure, Inc. and Yamaha Corporation.
Remaining sponsorship slots can be checked online at http://www.mixfoundation.org, or by contacting Karen Dunn at (925) 939-6149 or e-mailing karen@tecawards.org.
