Press Release Body: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Chicago, IL - January 9th, 2008 - CEntrance, Inc., for years a leading pro audio
design consultancy, and manufacturer of the hit USB mic preamp, MicPortT Pro, today
announced a new CEntrance hardware product: the AxePortT Pro USB Direct Box, ideal
for all guitar and bass players who want to record at home or on the road - and
sound great. AxePort Pro will be available for demonstration with MicPort Pro at
NAMM in CEntrance booth #201-25, Level 2.

Though more tubular than a traditional direct box, AxePort Pro offers 24-bit/96kHz
performance and a USB interface for guitar and bass players. AxePort Pro is the
complete package for recording with almost any DAW on WindowsT VP/Vista and Mac
OSXT. Plug a 1/4-inch cord into AxePort Pro from your electric guitar or bass - or
acoustic with built-in pick-up - and start recording immediately. Musicians
recording on the road will especially appreciate AxePort Pro's compact size, rugged
aluminum chassis and USB bus power drawn straight from your computer, even laptops
(no wall warts or batteries). AxePort Pro features the same loud headphone preamp
and knobs for input and output level as sister product designed for XLR microphones,
MicPort Pro.

AxePort Pro is also bundled with Guitar Combos amp emulation software from Native
Instruments, the CEntrance ASIO/GSIF Universal DriverT, a handy belt clip, 3 foot
guitar cable, 6 foot USB cable, and a velvet carrying pouch. For more information,
visit www.AxePort.com.

Available now from dealers and distributors worldwide, MicPort Pro is a portable,
Class A USB mic preamp that transforms any mic into a USB mic with 24-bit/96kHz
performance, thanks to high-quality A/D conversion. MicPort Pro features 48V phantom
power and zero latency monitoring, and is built on the same platform as AxePort Pro.
Stereo and multi-track recording is also possible with MicPort Pro thanks to the
complimentary CEntrance Universal DriverT that aggregates input from multiple
MicPort Pro units with the lowest latency on the market (less than 6 milliseconds).
For more information on what MusicTech Magazine describes as, "Easily the best USB
recording solution we have seen to date," visit www.MicPort.com.

Both AxePort Pro and MicPort Pro will be demonstrated in CEntrance booth #201-25,
Level 2 (in the balcony) at Winter NAMM from January 17-20, 2008. Please stop by for
a personal demo. If you'd like to make an appointment, please call +1 (847) 581-0500
