ProAudio Review - April 2008 - (Page 56)

At the April NAB convention in Las Vegas, our editors and contributors found several impressive new, or recently introduced products that we predict will do well in the broadcast production/post niches. To recognize those products we have created the inaugural Pro Audio Review Hot Gear — NAB 2008 list. The Hot Gear list will follow every major U.S. pro audio trade show except for AES, which PAR will continue to bestow its PAR Excellence Awards. We added some commentary why we picked em and web URLs, so readers can peruse, at their leisure, the company PR in more detail.
