Apogee DDX Amplifiers Selected for Daewoo Home Cinema System (22/12/2003)

Daewoo Introduces DR-C9A1D1 Home Cinema System, First To Feature DDX

Apogee Technology, Inc. (AMEX: ATA), a leading provider of digital audio amplification solutions, today announced that Daewoo has released its first in a series of products using the Company's DDX(R) amplifier solutions. Daewoo's DR-C9A1D1 Home Cinema entertainment system offers users a theater experience by integrating a wide choice of playable disc formats as well as VCR functionality. The system features 300 watts DDX amplification to power five satellite speakers and a subwoofer. The DR-C9A1D1 is expected to be available soon in Europe with future retail distribution plans in North America and Asia.

The DR-C9A1D1 delivers high-performance multi-channel home cinema sound in an affordable, easy to use, elegant package. At the heart of the Home Cinema system is Apogee's DDX-8000/DDX-2100 chip set solution. The extensive audio features in the DDX-8000 simplified the development process and enabled Daewoo to optimize the solution providing the highest level of audio performance with any speaker combination. By using three high efficiency DDX-2100 power devices, Daewoo was able to integrate 300 watts of audio power into a slim-line product that includes both DVD/CD and VCR playback. Daewoo plans to develop a family of products based upon Apogee's range of DDX amplifier solutions.

S. K. Min, Director, Daewoo Electronics R&D Center, said "Apogee's DDX technology enables us to offer products such as the DR-C9A1D1 Home Cinema System with outstanding audio performance in a stylish package. Using Apogee's DDX-8000 Controller as our platform gives us considerable flexibility and versatility to deliver products with several levels of performance while insuring the fastest and smoothest commercialization process."

"We're pleased to be associated with Daewoo, a leading consumer electronic manufacturer," said John Gitelman, Apogee's Director of Marketing. "This product success reaffirms DDX amplification as the solution-of-choice for high performance cost effective audio products."
