Apogee Introduces 120 & 100 Watt Per Channel DDX Power ICs; Enables Higher Power with Fewer ICs, Less Space and Lower Cost.

NORWOOD, Mass. -- Apogee Technology, Inc. (AMEX: ATA), a leading provider of digital audio amplification solutions, announced today the introduction of the DDX-2240 and DDX-2200 high-efficiency digital Power Devices that deliver 120 and 100 Watts per channel in stereo, respectively. The new amplifiers will enable manufacturers to deliver the ultimate in sleek, compact home theater and music systems with powerful room-filling sonic intensity using half the number of power ICs as competitive Class D digital solutions.

The DDX-2240 Power Device delivers 120 Watts per channel in stereo into 6 Ohms or 240 Watts in mono into 3 Ohms at 10% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The DDX-2200 Power Device delivers up to 100 Watts per channel in stereo into 8 ohms or 200 Watts in mono into 4 ohms @ 10% THD. Using just three DDX-2200 Power Devices manufacturers can build home theater systems with six speakers rated at 100 Watts per channel delivering 600 Watts of total power, whereas competitive Class D digital solutions would require twice as many power ICs occupying more board space at higher costs. For the ultimate home theater experience, a 6.1 channel speaker system delivering nearly 1000 Watts of total power uses just four DDX-2240 ICs versus competitive digital solutions that require ten power ICs.

"Retailer and consumer demand is strong for higher power home theater and music systems that can deliver room-filling sound in elegant designs to match the experience delivered by big-screen TVs," said John Gitelman, Apogee's Director of Marketing. "The DDX-2200 and DDX-2240 meet and exceed manufacturers' key 100 Watt per channel power level for building high performance products such as home theater systems while significantly reducing design complexity, size and cost. We believe the DDX-2240 has the industry leading, highest power for a fully integrated power device. These new ICs will greatly accelerate manufacturers' ability to offer high powered, audio systems with more attractive prices and greater consumer value."

Sales of Class D amplification are most prevalent among DVD Home Theater Receivers featuring 30 to 100 Watts per channel with an increasing competitive tendency towards higher power as a means for product differentiation and added value. According to market research firm Forward Concepts, Class D shipments for DVD Receivers were $43.6 million in 2003 or 52% of total Class D. DDX ICs at 69% had the leading share of the Class D DVD Receiver market in 2003. Forward Concepts projects Class D sales for DVD Receivers will grow to $373 million by 2008 with a compound annual growth rate of 54%.

The DDX-2240 and DDX-2200 operate seamlessly with Apogee's full-line of DDX Controller ICs and include robust protection circuitry that has made DDX power ICs an industry standard digital audio power IC solution. The Devices are available in a slug-up POWERSO-36 Lead(Pb)-Free package and are pin compatible with other Apogee power devices to provide an effortless upgrade path for manufacturers to add greater value to their product platforms. Engineering samples and evaluation boards will be available the end of December 2004. Delivery of production quantities will be available in early Q2 of 2005.
