Turtle Beach Takes Orders for AudioTron Digital Audio Appliance 

Device Moves Digital Music File Playback from the Computer Room to the Living Room

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 2000--Turtle Beach(TM) Systems today began taking orders for its highly anticipated home-networked digital audio appliance, the AudioTron(TM). The device ($299 estimated street price) can be ordered at http://www.turtle-beach.com, with shipments following in early December.

The AudioTron transmits and receives data via standard in-wall phone wiring or an Ethernet network, and organizes and plays an unlimited number of digital audio files stored on the owner's personal computer or found on the Web. With the included Voyetra® AudioStation® software, the PC becomes a whole house music jukebox, delivering audio to any room where the AudioTron is located. Using either the included remote control or buttons on the base unit, users can play digital music stored on their computer. This includes MP3 and WMA files, as well as uncompressed WAV files. The AudioTron will not interfere with normal phone operation or DSL Internet service.

``Imagine sitting in your living room and, with the click of the remote, listening through your existing stereo to any of the 6,000 songs that are stored on your computer upstairs,'' said Carmine J. Bonanno, president and CEO of Turtle Beach. ``The AudioTron -- one of the first true convergence devices -- lifts the constraints of listening to digital music, permitting it to be used beyond the computer room or through a portable player. The days of having to sit at your PC to listen to all your MP3 files are over.''

The AudioTron is programmable, allowing the owner to create customized playlists, and also features random song playback. Album and song titles -- if stored as part of the digital music file -- will be shown on the base unit's LCD display.

In addition, the AudioTron's sleek design ensures an easy fit into any home stereo system setup. It is compatible with all major operating systems, including Linux.
