Audio Technology; Nation's Top-selling PC Maker to be Third Partner in S3 Rio Audio Branding Program
Business Wire - June 21, 2000 15:38

VANCOUVER, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 21, 2000--S3(R)'s Rio Division(TM) (Nasdaq:SIII) announced today that Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:DELL) is collaborating with Rio on the Dell Digital Audio Receiver. Dell joins Nike and Boston Acoustics as the first three consumer companies to market products that include the Rio Audio technology.

Featuring S3's Rio Audio technology, the Dell Digital Audio Receiver (also announced today) allows consumers to enjoy CD-quality music stored on a PC in any room of the home by distributing audio to remote receivers or home stereo systems.

"This strategy is designed to capitalize on the strength of S3 in the digital music arena and Dell in the personal computer, Internet, and home networking arenas," said Greg Nakagawa, director of Dell's consumer Internet products and services. "We believe this makes a great combination."

"People listen to music in a lot of different ways, which is why you've seen us embrace partners like Dell, Nike and Boston Acoustics to address and meet those varying lifestyles," said Mike Reed, director of marketing for S3's Rio Group. "These partnerships extend the Rio experience to a broader range of consumers and provide them with more choice."

Rio Audio Branding Program

The Rio Audio branding program allows a select group of consumer product-focused companies to market digital audio devices with varying styles and forms, while still offering a consistent music experience. Based on extensive testing and user feedback, key elements of the Rio music experience include familiar user control and interface, edgy product style, superior sound quality, access to music industry supported formats, and compatibility with home-networked audio and software on the PC and Mac. Consumers who purchase these co-branded devices will enjoy a consistent experience through a variety of products. S3 previously announced that Boston Acoustics and Nike are partners in the Rio Audio branding program.
