Tripp Lite Intros New A/V Power Protection Products at EHX

Chicago, IL - March 21, 2006 - Tripp Lite, a world- leading manufacturer of power protection equipment, is pleased to announce the introduction of two new power protection solutions for audio/video applications at EHX Spring 2006: the HTRL15UPS Digital UPS System and the HT7300PC Power Conditioning Center, both with Digital display screens. These new products expand Tripp Lite's line of limited-distribution power protection solutions for professional A/V dealers/installers/integrators. Together, they offer complete power protection for PVRs/DVRs, multimedia PCs, media centers, music servers and more.

The HTRL15UPS provides reliable battery backup to keep PVRs/DVRs, music servers, media centers and media control systems running through power anomalies. It prevents system freeze-ups and lost recording time, and assures a longer life for DLP/LCD bulbs by preventing premature burnout. Both the HTRL15UPS and the HT7300PC protect connected equipment from damaging power spikes and surges. By filtering disruptive EMI/RFI line noise, they also improve audio/video quality, assuring peak component performance for end users. Both new products include a two-year warranty and $100,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance coverage for connected equipment.

"With the introduction of these two new products, Tripp Lite is reaffirming its commitment to the professional dealer/installer market," said Tripp Lite Executive Vice President Jim Folk. "Our line of limited-distribution power protection products for audio/video applications safeguards the dealer/installer while enhancing the overall quality and value of end-user installations. The HTRL15UPS and HT7300PC give audio/video professionals even more flexibility in recommending a Tripp Lite solution to their customers."

MSRP will not be disclosed prior to the EHX show in Orlando.

Tripp Lite's new A/V power protection products will be on display during EHX Spring 2006.
