[company name] Wins Sound & Vision Reviewer's Choice Award 

 [model & product type] Honored in December Issue


([City,State] - [Dateline])  Sound & Vision, the world's largest entertainment equipment magazine, has selected the [company, model, product type] to receive its Reviewer's Choice Award, recognizing it as one of the outstanding consumer electronics products for the year 2004.

The [model number] was one of just 20 products chosen by the magazine's editors and reviewers from those tested throughout the year. To select the award winners, Sound & Vision asks its staff to nominate those products that stand out by virtue of their innovation, performance, build quality, value, or other criteria. That list is then whittled down in editorial meetings where each product's merits are defended and debated.  
 
"There are no cumbersome guidelines for our reviewers to follow," explains Bob Ankosko, Sound & Vision's Editor-In-Chief.  "In the end, though, each product has to have made an indelible impression on the tester and must posess unique qualities that truly separate it from the pack." 

In honoring the [model number], Sound & Vision cited [see product write-up in December issue for pertinent details].

[Quote here from your company executive. Sample: "A lot of work went into the design of the [model number] to make it [fill in appropriate attribute]," said [your company's spokesperson].  "We are delighted that this effort has been recognized by such a widely read and respected magazine."

Sound & Vision, a publication of Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S., is the largest magazine for audio, video, and home theater enthusiasts, with a monthly paid circulation of 400,000 and 1.6 million total readers.
