LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - JUNE 2009: In what has become a much-anticipated industry mainstay of hobnobbing, shenanigans, and sun-drenched good times, the Nashville Engineer Relief Fund (NERF) hosted the 12th annual AudioMasters Benefit Golf Tournament on May 21 and 22 at the Harpeth Hills
Golf Course. In excess of 200 audio professionals showed up to demonstrate their golfing prowess (or, in many cases, lack thereof!) and, perhaps more importantly, to contribute money to NERF
Established thirteen years ago by the Nashville chapter of AES, NERF raises
funds for Nashville engineers that experience serious health or financial
crises. TransAudio Group, distributor and importer of high-end professional
audio equipment, has sponsored a hole at the NERF tournament for years. This
year TransAudio-sponsored Hole Five and organized the donation of several
(drool-inducing) pieces of gear for golfers.
Golfers arriving at Hole Five registered for three different drawings one
for a REDDI Tube DI, courtesy of Peter Montessi at A Designs Audio, a P-SOLO
mic pre-amp, courtesy of Tim Spencer at TRUE Systems, and a Bock Audio 195
studio condenser microphone, courtesy of David Bock Audio and TransAudio
Group. Stan Dacus won the A Designs REDDI, which many engineers claim to be
the world's very best DI. Neal Cappellino walked away with the Bock Audio
195, the studio workhorse found in most studios. The super-neutral TRUE
Systems P-SOLO mic pre was won by Pete Abbott.
But TransAudio Group didn't stop there. The silent auction generates much
needed cash for NERF and TransAudio donated gear here as well. Sean Sullivan
walked away with a Daking Mic Pre One as the highest bidder at the event's
auction!
"TransAudio Group is proud to support the important work of the Nashville
Engineer Relief Fund," said Bowman. "Of course, the tournament is a
wonderful opportunity to catch up with friends - a most enjoyable form of
charity! Unlike so many of us, the lucky winners that walked away with
TransAudio Group-donated gear were excited to get back to 'work' so that
they could put their new toys to use!"
