This year’s nominees are unveiled below for voting — and we very much look forward to seeing your choices for all the best new products of the last year in music technology and recording.
You may vote for any product in any category. You do not have to vote in all categories if you don't have a favourite, in which case you should select the 'NONE' option.
To vote, you need to go to the special page of the Sound on Sound Awards 2025 editorial website, select your favorites, and at the end indicate your name and email address, and submit.
