SAE INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES
EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIP WITH MACKIE— Mackie joins SAE Institute’s US facilities with equipment and support for in-house and extracurricular activities —
SAE Institute, the world’s largest multi-campus pro audio education organization, is pleased to bring longtime industry leader Mackie onboard in its latest US educational partnership. Acclaimed for its industry-standard consoles and recording gear, Mackie will provide equipment and support for the many events, demonstrations, and promotions that SAE participates in throughout the year.
Mackie has provided 8-bus analog mixing consoles and 24/96 Mackie HDR systems to SAE’s US campuses for use during special events and operations on campus or on location at various off-site events. Providing a mobile platform for live, hands-on demonstrations in the field, SAE is able to set up its own unique technology booth at the many trade shows, music festivals, and concert venues where it exhibits across the country. Visitors to the SAE show areas will have the opportunity to try their hand at “mixing” a recording and gaining an interesting and interactive insight into some of what is involved in the recording process. SAE staff will be on hand to provide demonstrations and answer questions.
Further Mackie involvement with SAE Institute will include technical support, product demonstrations, and upcoming contests with Mackie prize packages and SAE educational scholarships.
“SAE is proud to partner with such a key industry leader as Mackie to futher our educational capabilities and exposure,” stated Mark Martin, Vice President of Marketing, US. “We have used Mackie equipment in our US schools since the first campus, and the gear has not only proven itself with reliability and value, but has helped the staff enhance the way we work. Mackie delivers a consistent quality across its various product ranges, helping us to standardize how we work, while supplying the students with professional industry standard gear for their education,” Martin continues. “Mackie’s participation in our on- and off-campus activities will continue our positive growth and foster the expanding interest in our industry as a whole.”
Mackie professional audio equipment can be found in SAE Institute campuses in Miami, Nashville, and New York. For further information on Mackie news and products, go to www.mackie.com.
