X-Fi HomeTheater HD Schedule Update

Auzentech's Native-PCI Express™ HDMI Sound Card Rescheduled for Q2 2009

Auzen X-Fi Home Theater 7.1 Santa Clara, CA–April 16, 2009: Auzentech, Inc.(www.auzentech.com) has revised the release date of the Auzen X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD sound card to the first half of 2009. As with an earlier delay announced in January, the additional time is for hardware compatibility testing to ensure that the product is stable across the full spectrum of expected hardware combinations.

"We are aware that many customers, distributors, and dealers are highly anticipating the X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD sound card and are understandably becoming impatient," said Stephane Bae, president of Auzentech, Inc.

He mentioned forums in which some participants have questioned whether the soundcard will ever be released:

"We have four different companies on five different continents collaborating on the Auzen X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD. Some of the best minds in the industry are involved," Bae said. "It's coming."

The Auzen X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD is the result of cooperation between several companies that include Auzentech, Creative Labs, Cyberlink, and Silicon Image. Today's schedule change is an extension of the final round of testing of the software and hardware as complete a package.

About PCI Express™
PCI Express™ (PCIe) is a serial bus standard that provides a higher throughput than the older, parallel PCI bus standard. Unlike competing PCI Express™ sound cards built with PCI processors adapted for the PCIe slot, the X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD is built around Creative Labs' PCI Express™ processor. As a native-PCI Express™ sound card, the X-Fi™ HomeTheater HD can take full advantage of the higher-throughput of the PCIe bus.
