ESS Technology Introduces the World's First True
Positional 3D PC Audio Accelerator

Canyon3D(TM) Audio Accelerator - A PC Gamer's Dream

FREMONT, Calif., March 15 /PRNewswire/ -- ESS Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ESST - news) introduces its Canyon3D
accelerator, the world's first true 3D positional audio solution for multispeaker configurations. ESS's Canyon3D audio
accelerator uses Sensaura's MultiDrive(TM) technology to vertically position 3D sound effects from each of the four speakers in
a multispeaker PC gaming environment.

The Canyon3D technology, which supports the Microsoft DirectSound3D (DS3D) API, uses HRTF algorithms for each of the
four individual speakers to provide the vertical sound cues needed for total PC game immersion. Canyon3D's vertical sound
positioning for each speaker outperforms other four-speaker processors which only use simple 2D panning techniques to
attempt to simulate a true 3D environment. Additionally, Canyon3D is the only accelerator to support multiple speaker
configurations, including two-speaker, four-speaker, and the popular 4.1 and 5.1 home entertainment configurations.....................
