– Press Release

SoundTech Professional Audio, a division of US Music Corporation, announced today the release of
LightSnake, an intelligent instrument-to-PC cable with embedded analog to
digital converter and signal booster. The LightSnake USB’s unique design
enables anyone to plug their guitar, bass, keyboard or other electronic
instrument directly into a PC eliminating the hassle, clutter and learning
curve associated with high-quality digital recording.

The LightSnake USB intelligent instrument cable previewed at the
National Association of Music Merchants 2006 (NAMM) show and won “Best in
Show” honors from an independent panel of industry experts for its ability
to provide a streamlined, cost effective solution for analog to digital
recording. NAMM is the single most important event in the music merchant
industry. With over 80,000 registrants in 2006, NAMM brings out the best
and latest innovations in instruments, and performance enabling gear and
accessories.

“The LightSnake USB was designed to enable anyone to enjoy digital
recording,” said Larry English, senior vice president of business
development at US Music Corp. “Using the LightSnake, setting up and
recording high-quality digital music is as simple as plugging a guitar into
an amplifier.”

Modern Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software such as Apple
GarageBand and Sony Acid Music Studio harnesses the power of PCs allowing
musicians to record, layer and mix their own musical creations. The
LightSnake USB provides the easiest method for musicians to connect their
instrument to their computer for recording by simply plugging the 1/4″ tip
of the LightSnake in to the instrument and the USB end to a PC.
