Great Audio Gift Ideas for Father's Day
Let Dad Bring Sound to Every Room in the Home, Office and Even Outdoors

ANDOVER, MA - June 11, 2002 - Sound enhances any living environment. According to Tom Hannaher, audio expert for Cambridge SoundWorks, more and more consumers recognize this and are looking to add sound to every room of the home - from the living room to the kitchen, and even outdoors. See http://www.cambridgesoundworks.com. Cambridge SoundWorks is a wholly owned subsidiary of Creative Technology Ltd (Nasdaq: CREAF).

The Outdoor, designed by industry legend Henry Kloss, are free-standing, weather-resistant speakers. Unlike other outdoor speakers, The Outdoors are outfitted in a tightly sealed, moisture resistant calcium-filled polypropylene enclosure. This means they can be placed anywhere outside, even near water, and won't damage from the elements. They offer the high-performance, natural, accurate wide-range sound Cambridge SoundWorks is famous for, and are also efficient enough for loud play, even in unenclosed spaces.

"As more consumers are turning their homes into 'entertainment havens,' we're seeing more buy audio systems for every facet of their living areas - whether its turning their TVs into home entertainment centers or their backyards into sound studios," says Hannaher. "Today's consumer is also looking for more affordable solutions. Because Cambridge SoundWorks sells direct to the consumer, we're able to offer them high value products at great prices - whatever their audio needs are."

Hannaher recommends some of the hottest audio gifts so Dad can turn the home, office or backyard into an entertainment center - all at an affordable price.

Let Dad enjoy the sound of the great outdoors with outdoor speakers. With summer approaching, more consumers are looking to bring sound out to the patio, the pool or the boat. Outdoor speakers such as the Cambridge SoundWorks' Outdoor All-Weather Speakers ($199.99), offer a great solution. The Outdoor All-Weather Speakers are outfitted in a tightly sealed, moisture resistant calcium-filled polypropylene enclosure. This means they won't be damaged by excessive moisture, even when placed outdoors.

Multimedia speakers lets Dad turn his PC into an "entertainment system". As more consumers look to their PCs as a central source of entertainment, many are investing in multimedia speakers to improve the audio quality. Multimedia speakers, like MicroWorks® ($149.99), can be attached to the PC or connected to anything with a headphone jack, such as an MP3 player, boombox, or a portable CD player to create a mini-home system. MicroWorks features a 67-watt amplifier, delivering the acoustic performance of a home stereo with great bass. MicroWorks can also be hooked up to a stereo TV to create a two-channel home theater system. Available in black or white.

If Dad wants the sound of a high end stereo system without the price tag or space, try an all-in-one music system. People who want great sound without the size or bother of a component stereo system can look to all-in-one sound systems like the Cambridge SoundWorks Model 88® ($149.99) and Model 88CD ($349.99) radios. The Model 88 and Model 88CD offer the performance of sophisticated stereo sound system, but are high-end radios that can be placed on a tabletop or bookshelf. They achieve their 'big system' sound because they are the only tabletop radio to house a three-speaker system, including a powered subwoofer. Model 88/88CD features an AM/FM tuner and advanced electronics, with CD player only available in the Model 88CD.

High style bookshelf speakers turn home entertainment systems into elegant home design. If high quality and high style is what Dad's looking for, the Newton Series line is right for him - a high style, high end loudspeaker line that matches form with function. The Newton Series M50 bookshelf speakers ($249.99 per pair) are an attractive, compact 2-way bookshelf speaker system that does not compromise on design or quality. They are available in wood veneers, like mahogany and blond maple, and will fit elegantly into any home environment.
