Turtle Beach Introduces 220/240V AudioTron for European Sale

YONKERS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2002--Expanding its reach in a growing market segment, Turtle Beach(TM) today announced a 220/240V model of its AudioTron(TM) digital audio appliance for European sale.

"The digital jukebox market reaches well beyond North American shores," said Carmine J. Bonanno, president and CEO of Turtle Beach. "IT analysts are predicting that digital jukebox sales will be closely tied to the explosion in home broadband installations, and the AudioTron's success is certainly tracking along those lines. By making constant refinements to the AudioTron based on customer feedback, we're now in position to meet worldwide demand."

Designed to organize and play up to 30,000 digital audio files stored on the owner's personal computer and play Internet audio streams through TurtleRadio(TM), the AudioTron transmits and receives data through an Ethernet 10BaseT or 10/100BaseT network. A recent firmware release has added Windows Media Format streaming, a more robust Web interface, and a user-configurable front panel display. With the included AudioStation® software, the PC becomes a whole-house music jukebox, delivering audio to any room where the AudioTron is located. The AudioTron supports playback of MP3 and WMA files, as well as uncompressed WAV files.

The 220/240V model will be available in Scandinavian countries through Denmark-based distributor HPT (http://www.h-p-t.dk or by phone at: +45 87 430 400) in mid-June.
