Spatializer Audio Laboratories Inc. Expands Audio Enhancement
Support to the Texas Instruments TM320C55x DSP Generation

Availability of Spatializer OntheGoFX(TM) Audio Enhancement Software
Signals Spatializer`s Commitment to Providing Improved Audio
Performance to Customers of Successive Generations of TI DSps

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Signaling its increasing commitment to providing
turn-key audio enhancement solutions to successive generations of Texas Instruments DSP
technology, Spatializer Audio Laboratories Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPAZ) today announced that its
Spatializer OntheGoFX(TM) algorithms have passed eXpressDSP(TM) compliance testing by Texas
Instruments and are available for immediate licensing and implementation on the TMS320C55x(TM)
DSP generation. These technologies comprise the most comprehensive suite of music enhancement
technologies that are available on both the power-efficient TI TMS320C55x(TM) and the TI
TMS320C54x(TM) DSP generations for portable and home entertainment devices.

Spatializer OntheGoFX(TM) is targeted specifically for portable digital audio players, including
Personal Data Assistants (PDAs), cell phones and Internet appliances. This is a comprehensive
audio enhancement software solution based on the company`s Spatializer(R) 3-D Stereo algorithm for
speakers, a two-channel version of its new Spatializer Natural Headphone(TM), and Spatializer
Vi.B.E(TM), the company`s virtual bass enhancement technology, combined with additional audio
effects optimized for portable product applications. This combination of complementary technologies
delivers both an extraordinary audio experience, and provides an easily implemented and cost
effective solution to the challenges posed by frequency response-challenged speakers and
headphones or limitations of fidelity due to miniaturization, power constraints or compressed digital
audio files. The scalable architecture allows maximum flexibility, requiring only a small fraction of
available MIPS and memory while providing a richer and warmer listening experience.

Last week, Spatializer announced the first adoption of Spatializer Vi.B.E. for the portable Internet
music market by SANYO Electric Co. Ltd. on their new SSP-PD10 portable digital audio player.

"Our expanding commitment to the Texas Instruments C55x and C54x DSP generations are part of
our long term strategy to provide easily implemented, turn-key audio solutions for the emerging array
of portable digital audio devices," said Henry R. Mandell, Chairman and CEO of Spatializer. "We have
put a lot of energy into supporting each successive generation of TI processors because they provide
the combination of performance, price, functionality and flexibility which makes them the world leader
in DSP technology. Further, the opportunity for marketing and sales collaboration, which the TI DSP
third party program affords us enables unparalleled support and service to our licensees and TI`s
customers."

The TI eXpressDSP compliance testing program identifies interoperable components that comply to
the TMS320(TM) DSP Algorithm Standard. Customers using eXpressDSP-compliant products are
assured greater ease of integration in each stage of the code development cycle.

eXpressDSP Real-Time Software Technology is a premier, open software environment for Texas
Instruments DSPs, consisting of powerful, integrated development tools, a real-time kernel, standards
for application interoperability and the world`s largest DSP third-party network, along with code
generation, simulation and debugging technologies. It is designed to reduce development time by well
above 50 percent, depending on the application, and to give DSP end-users "make vs. buy" choices
for DSP algorithms, or simply to make it easier to mix and match algorithms they have developed
internally.

"The expansion of Spatializer`s library of software for the TI eXpressDSP program helps validate our
strong audio product offering," said Chris Schairbaum, Internet audio marketing manager, TI. "By
designing audio applications using the eXpressDSP-compliant Spatializer algorithms with our
power-efficient TMS320C54x and TMS320C55x programmable DSPs, OEMs can differentiate their
products more easily while offering consumers an enhanced audio experience."
