Melville, New
York, February 21, 2003- Andrea Electronics Corporation (Amex: AND
) a leading provider of hardware and software audio technologies,
announced today that it has added to its line of computer audio
peripherals with the release of the Andrea USB Stereo Full Duplex
Audio Adapter (USB-D2A). The USB-D2A was designed for users who
desire to utilize Andrea Electronics' award winning Superbeam®
Array Microphone, and who operate PCs which do not have integrated
stereo microphone input capability. In addition to providing users
with high quality voice input to enable, headset-free, speech-based
PC applications such as VoIP, voice command and control, and online-gaming,
the USB-D2A also provides high fidelity, amplified stereo output
for multimedia audio playback.
"The USB-D2A dramatically expands the number of potential users
for our Superbeam Array Microphone," said Douglas J. Andrea,
Chairman of Andrea Electronics Corporation. "Since its introduction
in June of 2002, the Superbeam Array Microphone has received overwhelming
reviews, and as a result of that industry attention, there has been
demand for a high performance, far-field microphone solution that
is compatible with PCs which do not have integrated stereo microphone
capability."
About the Superbeam
Array Microphone
The Superbeam
Array Microphone is a sleek, two-microphone device that attaches
to the top of any laptop or PC. The microphone is optimized by Andrea
Electronics' PureAudio® and DSDA® (Digital Super Directional
