The annual EISA Awards represent the combined judgement of magazine editors around the world, a global perspective on the best-value and highest-performing consumer electronics you can buy.
Australian Hi-Fi and Sound+Image are EISA’s representatives for Hi-Fi and Home Theatre here in Australia, part of the global Expert Imaging & Sound Association which each year pools the editorial review experience of 60 special interest magazines across 29 countries to agree on a final list of EISA Award Winners.
With the pandemic preventing the usual EISA Convention and Awards Meetings, all discussions this year were held virtually between the editors in each Expert Group, with a series on online webinars, followed by judging sessions held via Zoom in what was, we must say, an extraordinarily efficient process. EISA members and winners would then normally gather together in Berlin during IFA in September for celebratory sherbets and a posh gala presentation ceremony (the 2019 Gala group photo is pictured below). This year, as last, alas: no IFA, no gala, no sherbets...
This being a global group of winners, occasionally our outlying region gets a significantly different model, or the brand is not available here at all. The rest, however, represent the world’s best.
Details of the winners from the Home Theatre Expert Groups follow; you can see Australian Hi-Fi's publishing of the Hi-Fi category awards here; and there are full winners lists from all other categories at the end.
Now then, let’s draw the golden card from the first EISA envelope...
