Telarc Announces Major Price Reduction for All SACD
Product
New Lower Pricing for Retail Effective on May 1, 2002
Telarc International Corp is initiating a major
price reduction for all Telarc, Heads Up, and Chesky SACD (Super Audio
Compact Disc) product. The new Telarc pricing lowers the suggested
retail price from $24.99 to $19.99 per disc.
"As industry leaders in audiophile and
multi-channel recording technology, we believe this important price
reduction will dramatically improve the availability of multi-channel
recordings in today's marketplace," says Adrian Mills, Director
of Telarc's Domestic and International Sales.
Mills points to the reduced retail pricing on new
multi-channel SACD players and systems--with players retailing as low
as $200 and home theater "in a box" SACD systems as low as
$500--as positive signs for the format's success. "The number of
SACD titles continues to increase monthly, as does the number of
labels now creating these recordings," he says. "With these
significant developments, the multi-channel recording format is poised
to become the next breakthrough for the music industry."
In the constantly changing and rapidly advancing
world of recording technology, Telarc continually evaluates the latest
developments. Ever since producing its first digital recordings in
1978, Telarc's objective has been to provide the highest quality music
reproduction possible. The company released its first discrete,
multi-channel surround sound SACD in May 2001 (SACD-60541)
featuring music of Tchaikovsky,
including the "1812"
Overture. The company now has over twenty titles available in
multi-channel SACD, in the classical, jazz, blues, and crossover
genres, and plans to have thirty-six titles available by the end of
the summer.
All Telarc SACD's are hybrid discs, designed to be
completely compatible with the millions of CD players in the market
today. Hybrid SACD's actually contain two complete layers of music
information. One layer contains the high density DSD recording that
can be played in the new generation of stereo and surround SACD
players. The other layer is a conventional CD layer, which can play on
any CD player.
