YONKERS, N.Y., Oct. 2, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- IBM (NYSE:IBM) has selected Turtle Beach(tm) as its exclusive provider of sound cards for newly built PCs. Turtle Beach's Santa Cruz(tm) is now available in selected systems, including some NetVista models.
"The Santa Cruz, like many of our sound cards, was ahead of its time when introduced last year," said Carmine J. Bonanno, president and CEO of Turtle Beach. "With features such as multi-channel support and a dynamically reconfigurable DSP, it raised the bar for PC audio quality and functionality. As competitors struggle to catch up, it's clear that the Santa Cruz remains the sound card of choice for PC owners."
As more people look to their PCs as a primary source of music, the importance of high-quality, reliable sound cards continues to grow. The Santa Cruz plays an integral part in the Turtle Beach Connected Audio(tm) family of products, which are designed to ease digital audio access, editing, management and playback in the home.
