Genelec Congratulates Carei as Recipient of 2020 Dr. Ilpo Martikainen Audio Visionary Scholarship

Christian Wissmuller • Supplier Scene • September 17, 2020

Genelec has congratulated the recipient of the second Dr. Ilpo Martikainen Audio Visionary Scholarship – a grant that was established in 2018 in honor of Genelec’s late founder Dr. Ilpo Martikainen. Braden Carei, a graduate student at Nashville, Tennessee’s Belmont University, has been announced as the recipient for the 2020-2021 school year.

Dr. Ilpo Martikainen Audio Visionary Scholarship is awarded annually to U.S. graduate students in the field of audio engineering who are members of the Audio Engineering Society (AES). The scholarship, in the amount of $5000, is being offered in association with the Audio Engineering Society Educational Foundation to students who have a passion of advancing audio through innovation and technology development.

“I’m so thankful to receive the Ilpo Martikainen Audio Visionary Scholarship from Genelec,” stated Carei. “To receive a scholarship that is in memory of such an influential pioneer in audio technology is an honor that many people would dream of. For this upcoming year, this scholarship will give me the opportunity to focus on my final year of education in the field of audio, which will prepare me for my entrance into the professional audio world, where hopefully I can live up to the name of the scholarship and help to advance the field of audio, just as Ilpo Martikainen did with his time in the field.”

Lisa Kaufmann, Genelec Inc. managing director, states, “I know that Ilpo would be very impressed with Braden as a young audio professional, especially his quest for knowledge, the value he places in audio innovation, and his overall enthusiasm. Ilpo would be proud to see Braden receive a scholarship in his name. We at Genelec look forward to Braden’s future successes!”
