Orban/CRL 2006 International Tradeshows
Tempe, AZ., April 13, 2006, – Circuit Research Labs, Inc. (OTCBB: CRLI.OB), a worldwide leader in audio processing for AM, FM, TV, and Internet broadcasting, today announced their list of 2006 international trade shows. The extensive line of Orban and CRL products will be on display at all events. Orban/CRL visited thousands of broadcasters around the globe in 2005 and the company is increasing the number of in-person demonstrations in 2006.
“We believe that our focused effort to visit as many customers as we can has contributed to our record sales performance in 2005,” commented Orban/CRL President, Chairman, and CEO Jay Brentlinger. “Orban recently introduced several new products and technologies. Our customers need to see and hear what we have to offer.”
New products include Optimod-AM 9400, Optimod-FM 2300 with version 2 software that allows the unit to be used as a very high-quality stand-alone stereo encoder, and Optimod-PC 1100 with new version 2.0 software that greatly expands the 1100’s capabilities. Orban’s continuing development of Opticodec-PC aacPlus software, with versions for both streaming and file encoding, demonstrates the company’s commitment to Internet broadcasting, including podcasting and streaming to mobile phones.
Orban/CRL has long used international tradeshows to communicate with its customers and dealers. In addition to these key trade shows, the 2006 Orban/CRL Mobile Broadcast Laboratory tour enters its fourth year with five vehicles covering North America and Europe. The tour made several hundred stops in 2005. Visit the Orban/CRL website at www.orban.com for the most updated information throughout the year.
