The professional audio industry’s leading production facilities, manufacturers and distributors are coming out in force to support the 11th Annual Mix Annual Open, to be held Monday, June 12, at the Malibu Country Club.

A 2006 Mustang convertible provided by Vista Ford of Woodland Hills, CA, will go to the golfer who hits a hole-in-one. New this year will be a chipping contest, in addition to the various competitions managed by Pin-Up Golf Girls. Following the tournament, there will be a barbecue dinner with acoustic entertainment by music producer and singer/songwriter Alder, and jazz vocalist Sarah Schweppe.
A raffle and silent auction will also round out the day, featuring an assortment of donated audio equipment, musical instruments and gift packages. Audio gear includes: a Mackie 800r pre and a set of HR624 monitors; microphones from Audio-Technica, BLUE, Shure and Neumann; and a Lexicon Desktop Recording System.
