Corona: Genelec supports AES fundraising initiative

Genelec is to donate a percentage of every sale of its new RAW loudspeaker range to the Audio Engineering Society (AES), for the remainder of this year. Additionally, Genelec will be funding ten one-year AES memberships for those individuals whose lives have been impacted by the Covid-19 crisis.

The cashflow of the AES has been significantly affected recently by the Coronavirus situation. So to help sustain itself and continue to support its members, the Society is looking to raise $500,000 in donations.

Genelec Managing Director Siamak Naghian comments: “To us, the AES represents the only serious forum for the development of audio, and the work it does for our industry is invaluable. We will do everything we can to help the Society through the ongoing crisis, and this donation is just one way of showing our support and appreciation for this institution.”

Genelec will donate a percentage of each global RAW sale to the AES, and is also inviting professional or student members of the audio community who have been affected by the Covid-19 crisis to apply for a 12 month AES membership. Genelec will then select ten worthy recipients, and fund the membership for each of them. To apply to Genelec for a one year AES membership please visit www.genelec.com/AES.

This initiative sits alongside Genelec’s existing Ilpo Martikainen Audio Visionary Scholarship, offered annually to U.S. graduate students in the field of audio engineering who are members of the Society. The scholarship is offered in association with the AES Education Foundation to students who have a passion for advancing audio through innovation and technology development.
