SOLID STATE LOGIC DEEPENS SUPPORT FOR WORKSTATION USERS
Soundscape products to augment SSL line-up

Oxford, England - 5 July 2006: Solid State Logic has deepened its support
for workstation users with the purchase of Sydec Audio Engineering NV,
developers of the Soundscape range of workstation partner products. SSL's
own workstation production toolkit has grown in the past twelve months to
encompass controllers, analogue & digital rack processors and plug-ins.
The acquisition has perfect synergy with SSL's commercial and technical
development path.

The Soundscape team brings significant PC platform development experience
to SSL. The combination of these skills with SSL's digital and analogue
expertise will allow the development of exciting new tools for existing
and new applications. The relationship also opens new commercial channels
and allows a broader range of SSL and Soundscape products to be
distributed around the world, delivering SSL's established brand values to
a wider range of users.

SSL's recent investments in renewing the hardware and software of its
manufacturing technology and updating its manufacturing processes will
also bring significant benefits to both companies ensuring that high
standards of quality and delivery are maintained as volumes are increased.

Commenting on the new opportunities offered by the deal, Sydec's General
Manager Erik Wijnen enthuses "It's amazing to have access to the full
range of resources of a great company like SSL. This will allow us to work
with the SSL team to focus on new ideas for products and expand the team
here at Sint-Niklaas in Belgium. I feel sure SSL will enhance our
productivity through its great brand, market understanding and presence."

Affirming this enthusiasm and putting the arrangement in strategic
perspective, SSL's Managing Director Antony David states "This is an
excellent fit for SSL and supports our concept of providing quality tools
for the DAW environment. We're committed to working with a range of
companies to improve and democratise the creative process and this gives
us a great opportunity to accelerate our involvement."
