(NASDAQ: AVID), today introduced the new Studiophile(R) DSM3 active studio reference monitor, providing superior monitoring capabilities for audio professionals. The Studiophile DSM3 monitor delivers exceptional accuracy, clarity and dynamic range via a number of unique design elements including onboard digital signal processing (DSP), carefully matched components and a dual-woofer configuration. The Studiophile DSM3 monitor is the result of a strategic engineering collaboration between Avid's M-Audio(R) and Digidesign(R) product lines and features a unique hybrid midwoofer-tweeter-midwoofer (MTM) design. This configuration delivers the sound of a larger monitor and flexibility of horizontal or vertical placement, allowing users to position the monitor a variety of different ways while maintaining consistent sound. The MTM design also maximizes the horizontal radiation pattern coherency for a wide and accurate sweet spot with minimal reflections, giving engineers the freedom to move from side to side across the mixing board, while hearing the same representation of the mix. Additionally, a powerful onboard DSP engine controls a complex fourth order digital crossover to provide true acoustical alignment and exceptional imaging. The Studiophile DSM3 monitor's onboard DSP also manages a host of customizable filter settings to help optimize the speaker for placement within even the most challenging acoustic settings. The Studiophile DSM3 monitor includes several robust design components -- including custom 6.5-inch anodized aluminum cone woofers and a 1-inch ferrofluid-cooled Neodymium tweeter -- which provide customers with superior accuracy and response, enabling them to create mixes that sound consistent across a broad variety of listening environments. "With the Studiophile DSM3, we were able to incorporate advanced digital technology into an unconventional MTM system configuration," stated Richard Ngo-Tran, Marketing Manager at Avid Technology. "The result is an exceptionally well-designed high-definition monitor that delivers outstanding performance -- ideal for both professional environments and project studios." Pricing and Availability The Studiophile DSM3 monitor will be available in Q2 2009 and carries a USMSRP of $899.95.

Total Shares Outstanding (fully diluted): 199,500,000. April 6, 2009 -- Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS), a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design and manufacturing, today introduced the latest generation of its Discovery(TM) Verification Platform, an integrated verification solution for analog/mixed-signal (AMS) and digital designs. Discovery 2009 delivers unprecedented verification productivity with new multicore simulation technologies, native design checks and comprehensive low power verification capabilities throughout the platform. The multicore simulation technologies being introduced today with the VCS(R) functional verification and CustomSim(TM) unified circuit simulation solutions - both key components of the Discovery platform - deliver up to four times faster verification than previous solutions. With Discovery 2009, verification engineers are benefiting from significantly higher productivity and faster verification closure for their AMS and digital designs. In March 2008, Synopsys announced a broad multicore initiative to deploy advanced parallel, threaded and other optimized compute technologies across its verification and implementation and manufacturing platforms to reduce time-to-results. The most recent result of this initiative is the expansion of VCS with multicore technology to deliver 2x faster verification performance. VCS multicore technology removes typical verification bottlenecks associated with interactive simulations and long-running tests by parallelizing tasks such as simulation, coverage, assertions and debug across multiple processor cores. The new CustomSim unified circuit simulation solution integrates best-in-class, high-performance circuit simulation technologies with new multicore capabilities in a single, highly-accurate verification solution that delivers up to 4x performance improvement for large analog and mixed-signal circuits. VCS and CustomSim are tightly integrated via Direct Kernel Integration (DKI) for high-performance mixed-signal simulation. Discovery 2009 incorporates comprehensive low-power verification capabilities at multiple levels of abstraction, from RTL to transistor level. VCS with MVSIM delivers true voltage-aware RTL and gate-level simulation, automated assertions, and comprehensive verification coverage as defined in the new Verification Methodology Manual for Low Power (VMM-LP) book. CustomSim verifies complex power management designs at the transistor level by identifying IR drop, electromigration and standby leakage issues that can impact the reliability and performance of integrated circuits. This latest generation of the Discovery Platform further strengthens Synopsys' technical leadership in low power design and verification. As a pioneer of native technologies for functional verification, Synopsys delivered SystemVerilog-based assertion checking in 2003. Today, VCS users have the choice of checking their designs with custom assertions or using VCS Assertion IP for use with standard protocols, including OCP, AXI, USB and PCI. With the introduction of CustomSim, Synopsys is extending native design checking to the AMS verification domain. CustomSim provides a rich set of static and dynamic rule-based circuit checks such as power-down floating gates, missing level shifters, gate-oxide breakdown and forward-biased bulk diodes. Coupled with its high-performance and high-capacity simulation, CustomSim enables engineers to quickly identify design errors before tapeout to avoid costly silicon respins. "With the increasing complexity and diversity of system-on-chip designs, faster, unified verification solutions are essential," said Bijan Kiani, vice president of Product Marketing at Synopsys. "Discovery 2009 builds on more than a decade of technology innovations, offering unified circuit simulation, multicore performance, native design checks and comprehensive low power verification capabilities to deliver unprecedented performance. As a result, the Discovery Platform delivers higher productivity to enable rapid verification closure for our customers." Discovery Verification Platform The Discovery Verification Platform is an integrated AMS and functional verification solution with best-in-class technologies delivering high performance and scalability, including mixed-HDL and AMS simulation, debug, native design checks, assertions, low power verification, verification intellectual property (IP), code and functional coverage, testbench automation and formal analysis. Combined with support for industry-standard hardware design and verification languages, including SystemVerilog, Verilog, Verilog-AMS, VHDL, SystemC(TM), OpenVera(R) language, UPF, the VMM methodology and related VMM Applications, the Discovery Platform enables verification engineers to achieve significantly higher productivity and faster verification closure times for their advanced AMS and digital designs. This contributes to first-time silicon success within required project cycles. Discovery is part of the Synopsys Software-to-Silicon Verification Solution, the industry's most comprehensive suite of proven embedded software development, system validation, functional verification and circuit simulation software, hardware, IP, methodologies and services for complex SoC design.
