PANASONIC SPEAKERS DESIGNED TO UPGRADE PC MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS
Compact size ideal for mobile computing presentations

NEW YORK/June 28, 1994--Combining its expertise in computer peripherals and
home audio electronics, Panasonic Communications and Systems Company, a
division of Matsushita Electric Corp. of America, is now shipping a new
line of stereo speakers designed to upgrade today's multimedia systems
which are sound-enabled and demand an audio-delivery system that surpasses
the poor sound quality of many bundled speaker products.

The speakers are available in two models, the EAB 710P, a book-sized
speaker system, and the EAB 401 P, which can attach directly to a computer
monitor. Both models are magnetically shielded, offer built-in
amplification and have front volume controls for easy access.

"With the widespread use of 16-bit audio cards, CD-ROM multimedia drives,
and a variety of both business and entertainment applications that deliver
enhanced sound capabilities, people are demanding higher quality speaker
systems for computers," said Tim Curran, vice-president for Panasonic's
Computer Products Group. "We believe that Panasonic, with its heritage of
proven audio performance, offers consumers who desire high-quality sound
reproduction a solution at an attractive price."

Both sets of speakers deliver big sound in an exceptionally slim
size-factor, measuring 2.25 x 10.5 x 10.6 inches for the book-size
speakers (710), and 1.35 x 6 x 5 inches for the monitor-mountable speakers
(401). Their size advantages meet the needs of business travelers using
laptop computers for multimedia presentations.

710 Multimedia Savvy, Technology Innovation

The combination of three highly advanced features gives the 710P units
their life-like natural sound:

- Integrated sub-woofer: for outstanding bass reproduction
- Discrete Edge technology: patented Panasonic technology that
  enables crisp and clear mid- to high-range frequency by
  eliminating unwanted distortion from the speaker's edge
- Double-folded horn: provides users with a more powerful bass
  sound by removing the peaks and valleys in frequency responses

Two additional features found on the 710 units are a bass level tone
control and a headphone/microphone jack. Both features are conveniently
located on the front of the speaker, providing added convenience and
accessibility to listeners.

As an introductory promotion, the 710 models are bundled with Lenel
MultiMedia Works CD-ROM software, a $99 retail value. With this software,
users can create stand-alone or embedded presentations and manage
multimedia MCI drivers; also, more than 300MB of clip media are included.

401 Sound-on-the-Go

For laptop users making multimedia presentations, the EAB 401 P speakers
are ideally compact at only one and one-half inches wide. A neodium magnet
enables high power sound in a small and light-weight design, perfect for
multimedia presentations on-the-go. For stand-alone PC users, the 401P
comes with a mounting kit, enabling the speakers to be conveniently
positioned on a monitor.

Pricing and Availability

The speakers are available now through Panasonic authorized computer
dealers and resellers, and value-added resellers. The EAB710P and the
EAB401P carry suggested retail prices of $249 and $99 per pair,
respectively.
