ProSoundWeb & Live Sound International

READERS' CHOICE AWARDS 2018

Voting is now open in the Eighth Annual ProSoundWeb Readers Choice Product Awards.
The Readers Choice Awards (RCA) is unique for a number of reasons, chief among them (and as the name says), all voting is the exclusive domain of the readers of ProSoundWeb. Close to 200,000 votes have been cast in the RCA over the years, with a record of more than 27,000 ballots cast last year. The races in each category are invariably close and competitive, owing to the overall strength of every product entered combined with the distinct yet varied preferences of the pro audio industry’s largest online community. In fact, many races are separated by just a few votes, so every vote does indeed matter.
