Amphony to Debut Digital Wireless Audio Transmitter/Receiver at CES

December 17, 2002 – Amphony will showcase its 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless Audio Transmitter / Receiver, Model 1000 at the 2003 Consumer Electronics Show which is capable of transmitting audio to speakers or audio equipment without wires and without any audio degradation.

"In many circumstances, it is impractical or simply impossible to run wires to rear speakers or audio equipment in another room," said Gunter Fellbaum, marketing director at Amphony.

"Previous wireless audio solutions suffer from two major drawbacks – noise and audio distortion. Our technology provides true CD quality wireless audio by employing digital audio transmission and by avoiding any audio compression and the inherent audio degradation and latency. Further, we have incorporated an intelligent error correction mechanism which is capable of automatically correcting transmission errors. A noise-shaping filter which is part of the audio receiver removes any quantization noise from the audible frequency band."

The 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless Audio Transmitter / Receiver has a suggested retail price of $129 and comes with a digital audio transmitter that can connect to most types of audio equipment and a digital audio receiver which provides stereo audio output.
