September 19, 5:51 pm ET YONKERS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Sept. 19, 2002--Turtle Beach(TM) today announced that
its AudioTron(TM) digital music player has won the PC Magazine
Editors' Choice Award for digital jukeboxes in the October 1,
2002 issue.
PC Magazine Contributing Editor Bill
Howard noted ease of use, price, standardized connection
options, and the ability to connect multiple AudioTrons within
a home as factors leading to the honor.
"The level of interest in the
AudioTron continues to grow," said Carmine Bonanno,
president and CEO of Turtle Beach. "This "After
Hours" article shows that digital music players are
catching on and that the AudioTron is leading the pack. Once a
user experiences instant access to thousands of songs, using a
CD changer just doesn't cut it any more."
Designed to organize and play up to
30,000 digital audio files stored on the owner's personal
computer -- as well as 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 browser 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.
Turtle Beach will be demonstrating the
AudioTron at upcoming trade shows, including CEDIA, EHExpo,
and COMDEX/Fall. The unit can be purchased directly from
Turtle Beach, or through online and traditional retailers in
the United States and Europe.
