SINGAPORE, 18 March 1999 - Aztech Systems Limited (SESDAQ: AZTECH), a global leader in the multimedia industry and one of the world's top suppliers of sound cards and modems, brings the complete theater experience to the desktop with its launch of the Aztech AMS 5.1 Multi-Channel Speaker System.

The Aztech AMS 5.1 Multi-Channel Speaker System features advanced audio technologies with a robust 23-watt subwoofer and five seven-watt magnetically shielded satellite speakers to produce an astounding 700-watt output (PMPO) and 58-watt RMS (rated power output). It brings the finest home-theater quality sound to the desktop, bringing games, music and movies to life.

"Building upon our expertise in audio technology, we continue to work towards providing the complete experience for our customers, to meet the needs and demands of the PC entertainment enthusiast and the market at large. The Aztech AMS 5.1 Multi-Channel Speaker System delivers true fidelity audio. There is a market demand for multi-speaker systems following the increased in demand for high-end sound cards that deliver lifelike sound via multi-speaker output. The Aztech AMS 5.1 Multi-Channel Speaker System brings to the desktop unprecedented home-theater audio experience with 5.1 channel output," said Patricia Ng, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Sales, Aztech Systems Ltd.

The Aztech AMS 5.1 Multi-Channel Speaker System is a complete set of speaker system consisting of a subwoofer, five satellite speakers, a digital control unit and a remote controller. The subwoofer is housed in a solid 5.25-inch wooden cabinet for deep, rich dynamic bass. It produces strong drum and bass effects that do not drown out the high frequencies. The subwoofer can be placed below the table or anywhere on the table/floor to avoid cluttering the desktop. The five satellite speakers are magnetically shielded to eliminate interference with other peripherals and unwanted screen distortion in computer monitors and televisions, ensuring optimized sound and image quality. They can be placed on or near the television set. Ergonomically designed, the cubic satellites and the subwoofer are great space-savers. They are stylishly designed to complement all desktops. For enhanced performance, the satellites come with seven-watt, 5-channel low noise amplifiers.

To facilitate access and control, the speaker system comes with a digital control unit and a remote controller. Designed for home entertainment, the remote control allows full control from the comfort of the couch. Each speaker can be independently adjusted with the volume and function controls. The digital control unit is a micro-controller processing unit. It can be placed on the monitor or beside it on the table for instant access of volume, treble, bass and subwoofer volume controls. Using the remote controller, users can pre-program and save the preferred settings and configurations in the storage memory available. This superb speaker system also provides seven variations of pre-defined environmental settings such as default, jazz, pop, rock, night, game and cinema.

The Aztech AMS 5.1 Multi-Channel Speaker System accepts conventional two-channel audio streams from computer or audio/visual equipment for full surround sound effects through its 5.1 speakers. By employing Aztech's advanced Theatre Surround Processing technology, the AMS 5.1 decodes and recreates the audio streams received for full surround sound impact, with audio fidelity comparable to expensive home-theater surround speaker systems.

With four-channel audio input, the Aztech AMS 5.1 Multi-Channel Speaker System takes the input streams and digitally tabulates the time/intensity differences to simulate the center channel (the fifth satellite output). Sound localization is greatly enhanced with the resulting 5.1 channel audio output, creating a sense of total immersion and realistic home-theater experience.

The Aztech AMS 5.1 Multi-Channel Speaker System is compatible with all desktop PCs and all audio/visual equipment including consumes DVD players, hi-fi systems and laser disc player.
