PRO AUDIO'S ONLY DEDICATED GEAR AND SOFTWARE TESTING MAGAZINE

Pro Audio Review is the only U.S. professional audio magazine to focus on product reviews for all major niches, which are covered in their own exclusive sections: studio, live, contracting/installation, broadcast production, post-production and project studio. Since 1995, professional engineers and end-users
have relied on Pro Audio Review's objective gear and software reviews to help them make their buying decisions.

Pro Audio Review's influence on the professional end-user has made it the "must advertise" magazine for manufacturers and distributors who sell products.

REASONS TO ADVERTISE IN PRO AUDIO REVIEW

• Qualified Readership -26,000 + BPA-qualified circulation with targeted newsstand distribution.
• Readers are in the "Buy Mode" - Nearly 75 percent of Pro Audio Review readers say they bought a
  professional product based on what they read in the magazine.*
• Complete Industry Coverage- Pro Audio Review evaluates equipment and software in all major pro
  audio niches: Studio, Sound Reinforcement, Contracting/Installation, Broadcast Production, Post-
  Production and Project Studio. If pros are using it, PAR reviews it.
• The Best "Product Directory" in the Business - The annual Pro Audio Review Gear Guide, published
  in February, is a comprehensive product directory with thousands of different listings and specifications,
  with more than 20 different categories.
• Amazing Ad Value - Multiple-issue advertisers not only get competitive ad rates, but a full package
  of bonus add-ons, including discounts on review PDFs, reprints, automatic review posting to
  Pro Audio Review's web site, www.proaudioreview.com, and prominent placement in the annual
  Gear Guide.
• Our Writers are Industry Pros - Unlike the majority of feature-based pro audio magazines, PAR's writers
  are pro audio engineers who test the products in a real-world scenario issue after issue. These
  engineers have decades of combined experience making successful recordings, putting on quality live
  shows, producing audio for video or broadcast, or installing gear at various facilities. Of course, no other
  pro audio magazine performs more independent laboratory bench test measurements than PAR.
  Currently, four independent facilities perform testing for PAR.

THE ANNUAL "GEAR GUIDE"' DIRECTORY

PAR's annual Gear Guide issue, published every February, is the largest product directory in the pro
audio industry. With 6,000+ product listings, engineers rely on the Gear Guide issue to keep up with
the latest product introductions and specifications. Starting with 2005, the Gear Guide will have an
enhanced software section. 12X advertisers in PAR automatically get a free, highlighted photo on pages
where their product descriptions appear.

NEW FOR 2005!

Besides PAR's engineer-written, in-depth reviews, PAR is making several additions for 2005.

• "Sound Reinforcement" Section - Building on last year's dedicated Live Sound section, the new "SR"
  section will feature more live sound engineer reviews, tour profiles and equipment roundups.
  Long-time engineer Tom Young (Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett) will increase his review/column schedule
  to every issue ... The new section also has marketing synergy with its European sister title, Audio Media Europe. Audio Media's SR section reaches the top live sound engineers in continental Europe and the U.K. U.S. companiescan not only place their ad in PAR for the optimum product environment for sound reinforcement in the U.S., but also can package a program for additional U.K. and European reach.
• Installation Spotlight - Installation Spotlight will be featured bi-monthly in PAR's Contracting/Installation
  section and will highlight a notable installation in various regions across the country. Recent examples
  of an Installation Spotlight include a profile of the Hollywood Bowl with its upgraded sound system.
• DiscWatcher - DiscWatcher is a new monthly feature for the Studio section, and will profile the gear
  and techniques used in recordings released on CD and the latest high resolution formats, DVD-A and
  SACD. The feature will also highlight the technical history of re-releases of classic recordings.
