ASHLAND, MASSACHUSETTS - JANUARY 16, 2008: Crowley and Tripp announced today
the release of the Naked Eye Roswellite(tm) ribbon microphone, coinciding
with increased production of the company's nanomaterial processes.

Naked Eye Roswellite now joins el Diablo as the toughest and most powerful
ribbon microphones ever created for music recording and live sound
reinforcement. The Naked Eye Roswellite features the same True Dual Voicing
design and carefully crafted tone of the Naked Eye Classic, plus it adds the
power of the Crowley and Tripp nanocomposite ribbon material - Roswellite -
that was first introduced in the famously disruptive el Diablo Mercenary
Edition.

The popular Naked Eye ribbon microphone has become a favorite of recording
musicians for reliably capturing the thickest guitar tone, and adding
Roswellite expands its capability into kick drums, snare, bass, and the
rigors of live touring and sound reinforcement. There is no other 'foil'
ribbon microphone at any price that can match its tone, sound pressure level
handling and toughness of Naked Eye Roswellite.

"Since its introduction in 2007, Roswellite has shown strong appeal to
musicians, live sound pros, dealers, and other microphone manufacturers
alike," says Crowley and Tripp product manager, Chris Regan. "Everybody
wanted to know how it sounded compared to the traditional aluminum "foils,"
and the answer was, 'exactly the same, but with absolutely none of the
fragility, phantom power handling, or re-ribboning fears.' I think that's
why many other mic makers have contacted us and want Roswellite. They see
the real benefit of durability and manufacturability, without sacrificing
the most important part - the sound!

Company President Bob Crowley added, "The Naked Eye Roswellite has a look
that received a strong positive response when we showed it to studios, live
sound crews, and dealers during beta testing. Naked Eye users confirmed the
likeness in sound, very aggressive SPL handling ability, and confidence that
it is not going to change in severe conditions."

Naked Eye Roswellite comes with a lifetime warranty, beautiful wood storage
box, and low-diffraction rotary Monocle Mount. An optional suspension mount,
and durable road touring case are also available. The Naked Roswellite is
now shipping and is priced at $1,295.

Crowley and Tripp ribbon microphones are made in USA by hand, using American
parts, at the company's Ashland, Massachusetts laboratory. They are built by
people who know the art and science of acoustics, and who have years of
experience with high output, low noise instruments used in medical and
professional audio applications. Models include Studio Vocalist, Soundstage
Image, Proscenium, Naked Eye, Recordist Ensemble Stereo Kit, el Diablo with
Roswellite, and SPLx Custom.

Price: $1295
