USA - Harman International Industries has announced that its professional audio products will play a key role in the new Grammy Museum which opened in Los Angeles this week. The museum is a collaboration between The Recording Academy, the membership organisation responsible for the Grammy Awards, and Anshutz Entertainment Group, and was founded to celebrate the enduring legacies of music and its premier recognition through the Grammy Award.

The museum, located in the downtown Los Angeles sports, entertainment and residential district, L.A. LIVE, features some 30,000sq.ft of interactive exhibits and multimedia presentations. The Museum elected to feature professional audio technologies from several Harman International units including loudspeakers from JBL, microphones from AKG, processing technologies from BSS Audio, amplifiers by Crown Audio and mixing systems from Soundcraft.

"Our long legacy of technologies for the music business is a natural fit with the museum's goals," said Dinesh Paliwal, Harman's chairman and chief executive officer. "From legendary artists and the facilities where they perform to premium sound systems for homes and automobiles, our products help to realise the passion that is literally defined by music. We are honoured to join The Grammy Museum in celebrating this rich heritage."
