Mackie Designs Awarded Best Overall Product Quality Award

LAS VEGAS --(Apr. 27, 2001)-- Mackie Designs Inc., the Woodinville, Wash., manufacturer of professional audio mixers, recording tools and sound reinforcement equipment, was presented the prestigious Film & Video Magazine User's Choice Award in the area of Best Overall Product Quality at the 2001 National Association of Broadcasters Expo.

Film & Video Magazine is the leading trade publication covering the art and science of the entertainment industry, including all forms of production and postproduction of feature films, television programming, TV commercials, music videos and interactive entertainment.

Mackie's Executive Vice President of Marketing, Lori Stutsman, was presented the award by Film & Video Magazine's Publisher and Editor in Chief, Peter Caranicas, at the National Association of Broadcasters Expo in Las Vegas on April 24, 2001.

The winners of the Film & Video Magazine User's Choice Award are selected based upon an independent survey, conducted by telephone, of leading product users in the area of production and post production. The survey is conducted by Scenic Wonders Inc., the leading independent research company serving the entertainment and broadcast industries.

Caranicas notes the major significance of this award is that entertainment production and post production professionals are speaking out on what products they use and prefer. They are answering unprompted questions, simply stating what products from various product categories most stand out in their minds.

Stutsman stated: "Because this is an award that has come directly from our users, in the form of an independent survey, its significance is paramount. While we believe we're walking our talk on quality, this award is tremendously meaningful coming from our customers. It is truly an honor, especially for the Mackie employees who are dedicated to producing the highest-quality products in our industry. We're honored to express our gratitude to the readers of Film and Video Magazine for their support and this outstanding compliment."
