American Technology Corp.'s HSS Technology Debuts in Trade Show
Application At Supercomm 2001
SAN DIEGO, Jun 4, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- American Technology Corp.
(Nasdaq:ATCO) today announced that eSOUNDideas Inc., a HyperSonic(TM) Sound
(HSS(TM)) licensee and business development partner, through one of its trade
show and exhibit clients, Intelecon Services Inc., is debuting a tradeshow
application of HSS in the Nortel Networks Corp. exhibit at the Supercomm 2001
Annual Conference and Exhibit being held through June 7 in Atlanta.
Supercomm is the largest annual conference and exhibit for communication and IT
professionals with over 800 leading industry suppliers whose products and
services range from optical networking and IP Telephony to voice-data
architectures.
Doug Paschall, co-founder of eSOUNDideas Inc., stated, "Intelecon is a major
player in the trade show and exhibit marketplace providing comprehensive audio
and visual solutions to leading exhibit companies and their clients. In this
exciting application, which marks the first commercial and professional use of
HSS in a trade show environment, Intelecon has incorporated the HSS emitter into
an overhead robotic pan and tilt system pre-programmed to beam tailored audio
content to select and specific areas in and around Nortel's exhibit space."
Eddie Vakser, president of Intelecon Services Inc., stated, "The interest and
enthusiasm as expressed by our exhibit company clients and their customers,
regarding HSS and its use within their exhibits, displays and staged
environments has been tremendous. HSS technology opens the door to a whole new
world of design opportunities in the use of sound in our marketplace. We look
forward to applying our creative energies to this impressive and unique
technology."
Terry Conrad, president of ATC, stated, "We're extremely pleased with this
important step toward commercialization of HSS and in the efforts put forth by
eSOUNDideas and Intelecon to penetrate this large market. This is an ideal and
effective application for HSS, and also represents an opportunity to introduce
HSS technology to a new audience and to other potential users and licensees."
HyperSonic Sound (HSS) technology, developed in the laboratories of American
Technology Corp. in San Diego, is a revolutionary sound reproduction system. The
most important quality of HSS(TM) is the ability to direct or focus sound into a
tight beam, similar to the beam of light from a flashlight. Not since the
development of the "cone" loudspeaker more than 75 years ago has any technology
provided such a significant departure from conventional speakers.
