Kirkland, Wash., April 19, 2006 — Neural Audio Corporation announced the latest recipient of the company’s “Broadcast Brain” Award at NAB2006, Belo Television Group. Belo was honored for its work on implementing 5.1 sound 24-hours a day, seven days a week with its affiliates by utilizing Neural’s MultiMerge™ DTV product. The award was presented to Reed Wilson, Belo technology manager, at the show.
