American Technology Corp. to Present Latest Speaker Technologies At 2001 CES; Open Suite Planned for Saturday, January 6 in Las Vegas SAN DIEGO, Jan 3, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- American Technology Corp. (Nasdaq:ATCO) a licensor of innovative new sound technologies, today announced its plans for the 2001 international Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas January 6-9, 2001. ATC will have a booth (Las Vegas Convention Center, South Hall, No. 288) and Technology Suite in Las Vegas and extends an invitation to shareholders and other interested parties to attend an "Open Suite" from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. the evening of Saturday, January 6. The "Open Suite" will be held in the Marriott Courtyard Las Vegas, located at 3275 Paradise Road, and will feature demonstrations of ATC's HyperSonic(TM) Sound, Stratified Field(TM) Technology, NeoPlanar(TM) Technology (formerly known as Planar Magnetic(TM)), and PureBass(TM) sub-woofer technology. ATC will hold private meetings during the show with current and prospective OEM customers and licensees, focusing on the company's newest audio technology, NeoPlanar. ATC's remarkable loudspeaker technologies are part of its Intellectual Property portfolio covered by 89 U.S. and Foreign patents and patent filings to date. Terry Conrad, President of ATC, stated, "We continue working closely with our OEM customers as tooling, manufacturing, and launch plans are prepared for various commercial and consumer products containing our HSS and SFT technologies. Based on our latest meetings with several of the world's largest electronics companies and manufacturers, we expect accelerated growth in our audio technology licensing programs and availability of OEM-branded products containing our technology in 2001. "We are proud of our 89 U.S. and Foreign patents and patent filings to date. ATC's portfolio of powerful audio technologies and intellectual property will continue to grow as further patent applications are filed and patents are granted." ATC's current audio technology licensees include HST, Thomson Multimedia (best known in the United States for its RCA brand), eSoundIdeas (formerly known as SOUNDIDEAS), and Authentic of Japan, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NEC. The company's booth (Las Vegas Convention Center, South Hall, No. 288) will showcase the latest additions to ATC's FM Sounds(TM) radio product line. New sports-themed radio products and ultra-miniature cell-phone-accessory radios will be featured before a potential audience of over 100,000 attendees throughout the four-day show. Tom Johnston, national sales manager of ATC's Radio Products Division, stated, "We expect the strongest response and dealer interest in our FM Sounds cell-phone-compatible radio models. They allow users with virtually any major brand-name cell phone to take hands-free calls. Better yet, between calls they can tune in their favorite FM radio station without the audio sources interfering with one another. Because they are safe, compact, convenient, fun, and very affordable, we expect these models to be our hottest-selling radio products in 2001."
