New Boostaroo Revolution Delivers Amplified, 3-D Surround Sound to iPods, Other Personal Audio Players.

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. -- UpBeat Audio's Tiny Pocket Amplifier Demultiplexes Compressed Audio So Listeners Experience Full Field of Sound; Splitter Drives Two Sets of High-End Headphones to Share Tunes or Movies

UpBeat Audio's new Boostaroo Revolution(R) overcomes the low volume and flat sound problems sometimes associated with listening to digital music and movies on portable players. This pocket-sized audio amplifier and two-way splitter drives high-end headphones (greater than 60 ohm impedance for best results) or mini-speakers, quadruples their volume, and images high-definition 3-channel surround sound. The Revolution powers any portable player that has a headphone jack, including all iPods and other MP3 players, DVD, CD and satellite radio players, laptops, Pocket PCs, handheld video games and motorcycle intercom gear. Retailing for $79.95, it is available immediately from http://www.boostaroo.com and begins hitting the shelves later this month at Dr. Bott, ThinkGeek.com, effiliate.com, Airport Wireless, In Motion, AltiTunes, and Hedonics in Canada. New retailers as they are added can be tracked at http://www.upbeataudio.com.

Market's Smallest Portable Amplifier:

Weighing only six ounces, counting the two included AAAA batteries, the Boostaroo Revolution is the market's smallest portable amplifier at about the size of a disposable lighter. Initial units feature the same durable, high-gloss white plastic housing as iPods. Units in black, silver and a black/silver combination should appear on store shelves in November, just in time for holiday shopping. A tab and mounting hole allows users to attach it to a belt, key chain, or wear it around their neck. The Revolution carries a full 90-day money back guarantee and a one-year warranty on parts and services.

Patent-Pending Technology Images 3-D Surround Sound:

UpBeat Audio's patent-pending circuitry separates and reprocesses compressed digital music files, opening up the field of sound. It splits conventional stereo signals into individual channels so listeners feel surrounded by rich sound, as if in a recording studio. It gives clarity, punch and driving bass.

Connect Two Listeners to Player of Choice:

The Boostaroo Revolution features two standard mini-stereo ports with discreet circuits that allow two listeners to share music or movies at the same time -- with no reduction in volume, no added distortion or noise. Users connect to their player of choice using one of two included patch cords, 3" and 6" in length (white version) or a 12" cord (black and silver versions). Plugging the Revolution into the headphone jack boosts the audio signal and extends player battery life by eliminating the need to increase the player's volume. The Revolution will provide about 24 hours of constant use.
