1996 archives

Issues from 1996 are Acrobat pdfs created from the original QuarkXpress page layout files used in producing AudioEnz magazine for printing. There may be the occasional anomaly compared to a printed magazine – usually a lost image – but they are as close to the original print magazines are you can get in digital form.

The original magazines were single-colour. They were always printed in a dark Pantone ink, rather than black ink. This gave the pictures more depth and also resulted in AudioEnz looking far more expensive than it was.
