Radio HD is one of the first HD home radios to become available. A
high-performance digital AM/FM table model, it delivers
high-fidelity sound comparable to the finest radios ever made. It
broadens Boston Acoustics' enormously popular Recepter Radio
family, and features the dynamic HD Radio technology developed by
iBiquity Digital Corporation. It also brings The Boston Sound(TM),
long acclaimed for its accuracy, to a new audience of consumers.
"The introduction of this leading-edge, technology-driven,
integrated audio solution reflects Boston's history of engineering
excellence, and signifies its continuing and future innovation,"
said Moses Gabbay, Boston Acoustics President and CEO. "The
Recepter Radio HD also reflects our concerted efforts to pursue new
market and technology driven opportunities, ensuring our product
leadership as the preferred audio solutions for the Custom
Installation, Integrated Systems, Aftermarket Car, Home and OEM
markets." Robert Struble, iBiquity Digital's president and CEO,
concurs on the significance of the new Recepter's introduction.
"With Boston Acoustics' new Recepter, consumers will have their
first opportunity to experience the many benefits of HD Radio
technology in the home and at work," said Mr. Struble. "Consumers
with HD Radio receivers will be able to hear many of their favorite
AM and FM stations in digital quality sound, and gain instant
access to information, such as song and artist info, weather
forecasts, school closings, local traffic conditions, and more."
The HD Radio Promise ... The Recepter Radio HD embodies the bright
promise of HD Radio technology, which radically upgrades sound
quality while providing new wireless data services by allowing
digital broadcasts to be transmitted over existing AM/FM radio
bands. HD Radio technology benefits listeners by generating audio
quality similar to that of Compact Discs; enhancing sound fidelity
and reception; delivering new features and information services,
like song, sports and weather data; and by eliminating static,
hiss, pops and fades. A seamless conversion process lets
broadcasters maintain the current dial positions of existing
stations. Listeners also benefit by the growing support of the
nation's major AM and FM broadcasters, which have recently
reinforced their commitment to digital broadcasting. Building on
the base of stations already broadcasting with HD Radio technology,
many radio groups have aggressive plans to convert most major
market stations over the next few years. As a result, consumers
with HD Radio receivers will be able to hear many of their favorite
AM and FM stations in unparalleled digital clarity. ... Fulfilled
by Recepter HD Purchasers of Boston Acoustics' Recepter Radio HD
will be among the first to enjoy radio's next-generation sound. In
addition to iBiquity's HD Radio technology, the new Recepter Radio
HD employs patented BassTrac(R) circuitry to deliver bass
performance out of proportion to its remarkably compact size. The
Recepter is backward compatible with traditional AM/FM broadcasts,
and maintains the same compact size, portability and overall
appearance of the original Recepter Radio. It also boasts a high
performance tuner found only in advanced component receivers with
an exceptional ability to pull in weak FM stations. The tuner's
high selectivity allows it to separate closely spaced stations
clearly, while Phase Lock Loop (PLL) circuitry precisely locks in
stations, eliminating drift as it delivers the full sonic
capabilities of the FM signal. The Recepter Radio HD includes
memory tuning for up to 20 AM/FM presets in any order desired, and
incorporates two independent clock alarms that can be set for
waking up to music, a buzzer, or both. Snooze and Sleep functions
are also provided, as is a battery backup that retains presets and
time settings, even during a power outage. Of course, Recepter HD
listeners also benefit from the opportunity to enjoy The Boston
Sound(TM), an acclaimed feature of all Boston Acoustics speaker
systems that reproduces music and movie sound with exceptional
accuracy. The Boston Sound delivers the music and sound effects
that artists intend with a pure neutral tonal consistency that
remains the same for all Boston Acoustics speakers, including the
Recepter Radio HD. Available in handsome platinum, charcoal and
polar white finishes, the Recepter Radio HD will be available in
Spring 2005 from authorized Boston Acoustics dealers. About Boston
