Benwin Introduces Dramatic New Flat Panel Products at 2002 Consumer Electronics Show

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2002--Benwin, the leader in multimedia speaker technology and design, announced today the introduction of two remarkable new models within their DML family of flat panel multimedia speaker products. The new LTS2 3-Piece Speaker System and UTS Universal Subwoofer significantly extend the company's successful line of flat panel speaker offerings.

``With the introduction of the new UTS and LTS2 products, we broaden the system configuration possibilities for our customers, while continuing to demonstrate our leadership role in the deployment of advanced audio technology and industrial design,'' says Benwin's Vice President of Sales Kerry Lynn Johnson.

The new UTS Universal Subwoofer combines sleek industrial design with powerful bass performance, all in an enclosure measuring just 3 1/4`` in height. The UTS subwoofer can be conveniently placed under a monitor, thereby minimizing any loss of desktop space. The UTS subwoofer is the perfect complement to the company's LTS Compact Flat Panel Speaker System introduced earlier this year, but is designed to work with most two-piece amplified multimedia speaker systems on the market today. At a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $29.99, the UTS represents an unprecedented value in speaker technology and design.

Also introduced is the LTS2, which combines the current LTS Compact Flat Panel Speaker System with the UTS Universal Subwoofer, all in one complete package. This system features Benwin's advanced DML (Distributed Mode Loudspeaker) audio technology and a distinctive, yet compact design that truly complements today's digital lifestyle. It features a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $79.99.
