The new SACD format captures more of the original source sound and provides a frequency response to 100kHz and dynamic range of up to 120 dB. The frequency response requirement of the new Phillips/Sony SACD technology and format makes SLS's ultra-sensitive New Technology Ribbon Driver speakers uniquely compatible.|ret||ret||tab|

"This is our first order, but we anticipate expanding our usage of SLS's systems to a number of other studios," said Paul Reynolds, director of business de-velopment, Philips B.G. System Stan-dards & Licensing, in the release.|ret||ret||tab|

Phillips began auditioning the SLS multi-channel speaker systems in June of 2001. During the trial and evaluation period, Phillips engineers and producers quickly recognized the SLS systems clarity for speech reproduction and its delivery of exceptional musical detail of live performances, especially when mastering the new SACD digital recording format.|ret||ret||tab|

We believe the recent Philips order in addition to our latest distributor agreements abroad have the potential to add millions to our current revenue streams," said John Gott, chairman and president of SLS International Inc. |ret||ret||tab|
