Turtle Beach Dives into Windows XP with AudioTronBy Susan Hospod Turtle Beach joined Microsoft in New York City to demonstrate its AudioTron digital audio appliance at the Windows XP Launch. The device organizes and plays digital audio files stored on a network-connected personal computer and streams Internet radio broadcasts to a user's home stereo. The Turtle Beach AudioTron supports MP3, Wave files, and Windows Media Audio, which provides CD-quality sound at half the bit rate and file size of MP3. With the included AudioStation software, a PC becomes a whole-house music jukebox, delivering audio to any room where an AudioTron is located. Using either the included remote control or buttons on the base unit, users can play digital music without the need to interface with or even be in the same room as their PC. “Windows XP allows end-users to easily connect their PCs to AudioTron via standard in-wall phone wiring (HomePNA 2.0) or an Ethernet 10BaseT network,” said Carmine J. Bonanno, president and CEO of Turtle Beach. “AudioTron, a home network, and an Internet connection let you enjoy your entire music collection (up to 30,000 songs) or hear music streamed from around the world - all from the comfort of your couch.” The AudioTron will sell for an estimated street price of $299.
