history
The magazine Guitar & Bass (formerly: Musicians ), which is also published by Musik-Media, was expanded in 1989 to include a special Light & Sound section , which, together with the editors Detlef Hoepfner and Ebi Kothe, also covered the topics of sound and lighting technology. The dB magazine for studio technology , which had been published by the same publisher until then , was launched in 1990 by Production Partner under the direction of Dr. Walter Wehrhan (editor-in-chief) and Detlef Hoepfner (deputy editor-in-chief) replaced and supplemented with the topics of light and sound . In 1999, in line with the market development in audiovisual media technology for permanent installations, the sister magazine Professional System was also developed from this new topic . The topic of event marketing was continued in 1996 under the title Event Partner , which is aimed at agencies, service companies and event organizers. In March 2002, Audio Professional - the magazine for professional audio technology published by the Ebner Ulm publishing group - was also integrated into Production Partner .
From 2006 there was a further thematic focus: All topics from the sound studio and recording technology were transferred to the magazine Sound & Recording , which will appear from 2006, and since then Production Partner has concentrated exclusively on event technology.
On February 1, 2018, Dr. Walter Wehrhan handed the editor-in-chief to the long-time online and print editor Marcel Courth. In addition, the editorial team consists of the deputy editor-in-chief Detlef Hoepfner and the editor Lena Voss.
