Turtle Beach AudioTron Wins PC Magazine Editors' Choice

Digital Music Player Takes Home Top Honors in October 1 Issue

Thursday 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.

Turtle Beach is one of the world's leading PC audio solutions providers, working with more than 150 leading manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. In addition to its OEM and retail sales, Turtle Beach makes its entire line of products available directly to consumers via its e-commerce Web site (www.turtle-beach.com) and customer service center (1-800-233-9377 or 914-966-0600).
