SAN BRUNO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/03/13 -- Electronic Musician, the leading production and performance magazine for musicians, announced the recipients of its prestigious annual Editors' Choice Awards, which will be profiled in a special feature in the February 2013 issue.

For more than two decades, The Editors' Choice Awards have recognized the best new production tools in the music recording and performance industry. This year, a team of Electronic Musician editors and contributors selected winners in 30 categories ranging from microphones to iPad apps to personal P.A. systems.

"The Editors' Choice Awards issue is always our most challenging -- and our favorite -- issue to put together," says Electronic Musician Editor-In-Chief Sarah Jones. "It's a daunting task to narrow hundreds of worthy products down to a select few winners, but it's an inspiring process that affirms that there's innovation everywhere in our industry -- from exciting debuts from start-ups to game changers from the giants. We're proud to recognize the best of the best."

All award-winning products have been evaluated by Electronic Musician's editors and contributors. To be eligible for an Editors' Choice award, products must have shipped between AES 2011 and AES 2012.

The awards will be presented at this year's Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA on Wednesday, January 23rd.
