SLS Loudspeakers Acquires Evenstar Inc.; Patented Digital Amplification Technology Provides Cost Savings In Manufacturing Process

14-May-04

SLS Loudspeakers, a division of SLS International, recently announced that it has acquired Evenstar, Inc., the owner of a patented digital amplification technology that provides cost savings in the manufacturing process of up to 75-percent below other designs while producing comparable quality designs to what is available on the market today. As a result of the acquirement, Evenstar, Inc. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of SLS International.  The new digital amplification technology offers superior weight savings and effective cooling that exceed the latest technologies being produced by the industry leaders. The new SLS amplifiers can be produced at up to one tenth the size and weight of normal amplifiers on the market today. The design allows for the production of amplifiers from as little as a few watts to up to thousands of watts. As the power increases, cost savings actually grow, which is contrary to the products on the market today.  ìThis acquisition has the potential to make our unique, ultra-high fidelity ribbon driver loudspeakers and sound systems, which already were lower priced and superior to other comparable speakers even more competitive,î says John Gott, President of SLS Loudspeakers. ìThe Evenstar technology will allow us to produce multiple models of amplifiers to incorporate into our loudspeaker systems and sell as additions to any audio system. We believe that this technology will significantly reduce our production costs, further enhancing our competitive position and allowing us to penetrate the mass retail market even faster. Leading retailers such as Radio Shack will now be able to offer high-quality speaker systems with amplifiers to their customers at even lower prices.î  Evenstar, Inc. Founder Joel A. Butler will head up a new SLS electronics division. Butler has an extensive background in electronics design with a strong emphasis on digital signal processing design. His previous experience includes developing test procedures and analysis systems for the worldÇs leading audio products at Acoustical Design Group, working as a senior project engineer with The Goodrich Corp. in its aerospace division, and developing Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Military IFF systems and digital communications systems.  ìWe are excited to have Joel join our team,î Gott continued. ìWe are already in the preliminary design phase of electronics and amplifiers that would be used in conjunction with the proposed products to be marketed through Radio Shack and we expect to have many new innovative technologies developed in the coming years. Joel has created several other revolutionary audio products including new digital and wireless technologies and we will be working on these patent applications in the near future. We expect our electronics division to break as many molds in the industry as our Ribbon Driver Technology has recently.î  For more information, please visit www.slsloudspeakers.com.
