Bristol, PA – October 1, 2008: Innovators of the original award-winning Ear Monitors® and Atrio® brand professional earphones for today’s top musicians, concert tours, broadcasting, gaming systems and personal digital media players, Future Sonics, is proud to announce the release of two new colors in their Atrio® line of universal-fit professional earphones. The new m3 (earth beige) and m9 (ruby red) were the colors most requested by customers for nearly any application. Like all Future Sonics personal monitors, they feature the company’s own design and manufacture of proprietary drivers for unmatched natural sound quality, reliability and performance.

“In the house of worship market, a stealthy, warm earth tone color was our number one request,” indicates Marty Garcia, founder and president of Future Sonics. “For the new younger performers, and for consumers, they wanted our strong, bold red that would stand out and make a visual statement.”

The recently updated and lightweight Atrio® Professional Earphones’ design is the ideal choice, now in four colors, for a wide range of applications including the live concert stage, recording studios, broadcasting, and house of worship. Atrio® is also the perfect match for digital media players like Apple’s iPod® products, iPod® Touch, iPhone®, Microsoft Zune®, portable game systems, plus portable Sirius® / XM® Satellite receivers and much more for those consumers who want professional audio quality from their personal digital media players and devices.
