TELARC INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES SUPPORT FOR
SUPER AUDIO COMPACT DISC PROPOSAL AT HI-FI '98
Leading Audiophile Label Believes New Carrier
Is Key To Future of High Resolution Music Era
Los Angeles, CA.: June 10, 1998 - Telarc International Corporation,
one of the world's leading audiophile music labels, and one of the
first to offer Compact Disc recordings, today announced its support of
the new Super Audio Compact Disc proposal as the next generation
music carrier.
"Ever since we produced our first digital recordings in 1978," said
Telarc president Robert Woods, "Telarc's objective was to provide the
highest quality music reproduction possible.  Now with the development
of Super Audio Compact Discs (SACD), and its extraordinary Direct
Stream Digital (DSD) technology," he continued, "we believe the
foundation exists at this time to launch a new era of high resolution
recordings. Telarc has begun to record all of its projects using the
Direct Stream Digital process and plans to begin releasing Super Audio
Compact Discs as soon as that technology is ready to be marketed."
Meeting Industry and Consumers' Needs
 The new Super Audio Compact Disc format has been created by Sony
Corporation and Philips Electronics to provide unprecedented
two-channel and multi-channel sound.  It employs Direct Stream Digital
encoding technology that samples the musical signal at the phenomenal
rate of more than 2.8 MHz per second.  As a result, an extremely
smooth digital waveform with an unparalleled frequency response of 0 -
100,000Hz is achieved, with a dynamic range of more than 120 dB.
"We officially made our first DSD recordings in May, and the response
to the quality of the sound by our engineers, producers and artists
alike was overwhelming," Woods said.  "Telarc has been improving the
quality of our technology at every opportunity since the day we
started the company, but none of us were prepared for the staggering
improvement brought about by DSD."
"DSD technology is an amazing improvement, but the major benefit lies
in the fact that the new SACD recordings will be completely compatible
with all of the millions of existing CD players in the market today,"
Woods continued. "This is great news for consumers and ultimately also
means that the retailer will be spared having to maintain separate
inventories-it's a win-win situation."
This will be made possible thanks to the hybrid construction of SACD
recordings.  The discs will have two separate layers, bonded together,
producing discs of the same size, look, and feel of today's CD's.  One
layer will contain the new high density, semi-reflective audio layer,
and the other layer will be the standard 16-bit CD technology we have
today. Another bonus is that the high density layer will also contain
text, graphics and video.
"It is such an elegant way to meet the challenge of moving forward
with a high resolution format," Woods concluded.  "Since we issued our
first CDs in 1982, Telarc's corporate mission statement and marketing
promise was that our recordings would always represent 'the highest
state of the newest art.'  This will help us keep that promise."
Celebrating its twenty-first anniversary this year, Telarc
International Corporation has become one of the most distinguished
independent record labels in the world.  Starting as a classical-only
enterprise in 1977, it now produces over sixty releases annually in
classical, crossover, traditional jazz, contemporary jazz, and blues
categories.  Telarc was founded by musicians Jack Renner and Robert
Woods.  Known throughout the world for the exceptional sound quality
of its recordings, it has attracted a prestigious roster of artists.
