| AudioTron Will Distribute Broadband Digital Audio Content Throughout Homes Using Phone Line Networking |
| YONKERS, N.Y., April 25,
2000 - Voyetra Turtle Beach, Inc. today announced its first mass market PC appliance - the
Turtle Beach AudioTron - at Microsoft's Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC).
The device incorporates home networking technology to remotely play digital music stored
on a user's personal computer, as well as audio originating from the Internet. For
instance, an AudioTron in the living room can play WMA and MP3 files saved on a PC located
in another part of the house. AudioTron is expected to ship this fall for the U.S. and
Canadian holiday buying season. "The vision of having smart, networked appliances in everyday homes has become reality with our introduction of AudioTron," said Carmine J. Bonanno, president and CEO, Voyetra Turtle Beach. "We're expecting extremely strong sales, with buyers mirroring the people who have snapped up DVD players and cable modems over the past couple of years. Digital music has exploded into the mainstream, and AudioTron is able to help move it from the computer room to the living room. It's the distribution mechanism for broadband content delivered over residential gateways." AudioTron consists of four components - the song capture and
management software (Voyetra's AudioStation( 4.0), an HPNA-compliant phone networking
card, the base unit, and a remote control. Since the digital files are transmitted over
home phone wires using the HPNA 2.0 standard, and decompressed on the fly by the base unit
(up to a CD-like sample quality of 48KHz), users will experience no interference with
normal phone calls or DSL Internet connections. An add-on board providing Ethernet and USB
connections will be available for use in homes or offices wired with a dedicated network. For more information, visit www.AudioTron.net. Voyetra Turtle Beach, one of the world's leading PC audio solutions
