Future Sonics Announces Atrio Series Professional Personal Monitors

Future Sonics has announced the release of their new product line, The Atrio™ Series (pronounced AYtree-oh). Built upon their latest MG5™ driver technology, the new series will feature products specifically designed for live performance, recording studio, multimedia and broadcast applications.

Future Sonics has also announced today the release of their new patent-pending EarFills™ brand universal sleeves for their Atrio™ and Ears™ brands that provide longer-lasting comfort, fit and correct coupling with the ear canal. EarFills™ will be available as both standard with new products or as an option to ordering refills of other sleeves -- depending on personal preference.

The Atrio™ Series

The Atrio™ Series continues Future Sonics' tradition of outstanding signature sound quality, reliability and client services, while featuring completely new designs and technologies specifically created to address the demands of top performers, engineers and production staff. As the concept of personal monitor systems continues to grow in the marketplace, The Atrio™ Series will be an excellent upgrade from any similar product and/or enhance the quality of any existing personal monitoring system.

Like the company's flagship Ear Monitors® brand personal monitors -- the very first professional earphones specifically designed with a custom-molded fit for live performance applications -- The Atrio™ Series offers:

• Natural "feel" with accurate dynamic bass frequency response
• Warm, rich vocal tone and clean detailed clarity in the upper frequencies
• Excellent reproduction of the timbre of the original source audio
• Full range performance from a miniature loudspeaker measuring under 10mm

The initial models in The Atrio™ Series include:

Model m5 -- for live performance applications (MSRP $199.00/pair USD)

Model m8 -- digital media and recording studio applications* (MSRP $229.00 USD)

Both models will be available in single pack, twin-pack and six pack editions. *m8 includes 10' extension cable and 1/4" stereo adapter plug

Bigger sound, lower levels gains attention from The H.E.A.R. Foundation

The Atrio™ Series is recognized by The H.E.A.R. Foundation as a product offering its full range of sound and performance at even the lowest volumes. H.E.A.R. applauds Future Sonics' new professional earphones as a significant step forward in hearing conservation due to increased clarity across a broad range that measurably reduces the need for excessive amplification. Please visit H.E.A.R. at The Summer NAMM Conference in Austin, TX at booth 2337. Future Sonics continues to support hearing education and conservation as they have for more than 20 years.

Availability

Pre-orders for The Atrio™ Series models m5 and m8 will begin late-Summer 2006.
