NORWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 2, 2003

Apogee Technology, Inc. (AMEX: ATA), a leading provider of digital audio amplification solutions, announced today the introduction of the DDX(R)-2160 Power IC, a stereo 80 Watt per channel Power Device. This latest addition to Apogee' family of high-efficiency digital power amplifiers will enable manufacturers to deliver home theater and music systems with full sonic intensity and impact that justify a premium price to consumers.

The DDX-2160 Power Device delivers over 80 Watts per channel in stereo into 6 Ohms or 160 Watts in mono into 3 Ohms @ 10% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD.) The enhanced power of the DDX-2160 makes it possible for manufacturers of speaker systems to fully immerse the listener into movies, music and games. The Device operates seamlessly with Apogee's full-line of DDX Controller ICs and includes robust protection circuitry that has made DDX power ICs a leading digital audio power IC solution. The DDX-2160 will enable manufacturers to simply upgrade existing products that use Apogee's DDX-2100 by virtue of the same pin-for-pin IC layout.

"Our design and manufacturing customers are seeking benefits to enhance the value and differentiation of their offerings," said John Gitelman, Apogee's Director of Marketing. "The DDX-2160 not only provides pure digital audio excitement but also meets a key power level for premium products such as integrated DVD home theater systems that can command higher prices and margins for retailers and manufacturers. Pin Compatibility with our previous power device provides an effortless path for manufacturers to add greater value to their current products."
