FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Power Technology Releases Breakthrough August 23rd, 1999, Brisbane, CA: Power Technology, a leading developer of DSP-based PC software products, announces the immediate availability of DFX (TM), a breakthrough technology that dramatically enhances the quality of streaming and downloaded Internet audio. DFX uses patent pending software technology to compensate for the limitations of data compressed Internet audio formats such as MP3. DFX also compensates for the limitations of typical multi-media audio systems and listening environments. DFX allows a PC multi-media system placed on a desktop to sound like an expensive stereo system placed in a perfectly designed listening environment. The patent pending DFX technology is currently available as an enhancement to AOL Inc.'s popular MP3 player, Winamp. Robert Lord, AOL Program Manager for Winamp said, "We are very excited that our users are able to enhance their Winamp listening experience with Power Technology's pro quality DSP processing. Power Technology is bringing studio quality sound to Winamp's 15 million users." By using a DFX enhanced version of Winamp users not only greatly improve their MP3 listening experience, but also experience much greater fidelity while listening to Windows Media audio. Greg Carpenter, Microsoft Corporation Windows Media Technology Group Program Manager said "We're excited that a company with the professional audio capabilities of Power Technology is developing products that complement Windows Media 4.0" Paul Titchener, Ph.D., President of Power Technology said "The patent pending DFX technology can dramatically improve the perceived audio quality and impact for a variety of growing Internet audio companies. These companies include Internet broadcasters and online music retailers, particularly when using preview samples of music selections. The technology can also be used to improve the sound quality of hardware devices such as portable MP3 players." A free version of the DFX enhancement for Winamp is available at www.fxsound.com. Power Technology (www.power-t.com) manufactures and distributes audio signal processing software and hardware using cutting edge DSP, PC and Internet technology. Power Technology's award winning products are used worldwide to enhance audio during recording, broadcasting and playback. The principals in Power Technology have a 15-year history in the DSP industry and were founding members of the team that created the world's top-selling DSP design tool, with $300M+ sales to date.
