Premium audio technology company partners with prestigious AV event
24/03/09 – Future, the special-interest media group, has announced that DTS Digital Entertainment – the premium audio technology company, has signed up to support its prestigious Home Cinema Choice Awards.
Now in their 14th year, the Home Cinema Choice Awards in association with DTS Digital Entertainment are a celebration of the finest AV equipment launched over the last 12 months. Only the best performing sound and vision kit is shortlisted across the twenty hotly contested categories.

This year’s Home Cinema Choice Awards take place at a central London cinema on Thursday, 2nd April and are hosted by bestselling author, producer, radio and TV presenter Danny Wallace – whose ‘Yes Man” book was recently made into a Hollywood movie, starring Jim Carrey.
This year, Future’s partnership with DTS Digital Entertainment sees the digital technology company hosting the industry-facing awards event, as well as exposure to audio visual enthusiasts across Future’s market-leading AV portfolio, headed up by Home Cinema Choice issue 168, including a special 32-page awards supplement in the May issue of Home Cinema Choice on sale Thursday, 9th April.
