Las Vegas, Nevada

demo's our new ARC-8 console
Our 31st year at the
show, Arrakis Systems inc. exhibited our full line of consoles,
automation, and studio
furniture at the 2010 NAB Exhibition in Las Vegas Nevada. With
estimated attendance of 88,000 for 2010, this show was 6% larger
than last year's 83,000, though still 20% smaller than 2007's
peak of 111,000.
Michael Palmer,
President of Arrakis had this to say about the show...
" The show was great for Arrakis !!! Despite the recession,
registered contacts in our booth were up over 40% from last year.
I'm not surprised
though,
even with
the contracting national economy Arrakis sales grew
strongly in 2009 because of the many new products that we introduced.
We expect 2010 to also be a banner year with the new ARC-10 console
and ARCcast automation software that is new at this NAB. Also,
keep your eyes open for several more major new products that are
in engineering and yet to come out this year.

NEW at NAB... the
ARC-8 console
...the Radio World "Cool
Stuff" Award
The ARC-8 won this prestigious award at the 2010 NAB
convention in Las Vegas. Radio World’s “Cool Stuff” Award-winning
products are selected each year by a panel of radio broadcast engineers as notable
for their design, features, cost efficiency and performance in serving radio
broadcast users.

Arrakis introduced the
ARC-8 analog console at this year's NAB convention.
The console, which began shipping in October of 2009, was very
well received. The ARC-8 supports two mic channels, 4 stereo
line channels, a PC USB sound card channel, and a channel that
interfaces to an external phone hybrid. The USB-PC channel
plays and records in digital to
a Windows
PC. One unique feature of the ARC-8 is that it has BOTH balanced
professional and unbalanced consumer inputs and outputs. What
is equally unique is that all of these features are packed into
a console that is on sale for less than $800.

NEW at NAB... ARCcast
Radio Automation software

Introduced at NAB and
available for shipping in June is our new ARCcast Radio software.
The software can be used as a standalone Radio automation system
or used with our new ARC-8 console to create a powerful Live
Air & Automation system. The software is designed to be extremely
easy to use and to eliminate most On Air user error. The software
supports three sound cards for simultaneous Play, Cue, and Automation
outputs while also recording. The product is ideal for small
market radio, community radio, church radio, web streaming, and
podcasting. At only $750 msrp, ARCcast is affordable for many
radio applications. Look for more information on this exciting
product as we near the June shipping date.

NEW for NAB... Xtreme
Version 1.9 Automation

Arrakis's Digilink-Xtreme
automation product continues to be a favorite at NAB shows. The
new Version 1.9 has a new user interface and many new web enabled
features. The power of Xtreme is that it can be purchased as
a complete product or as a monthly service. Either way, hundreds
of radio stations around the world use Xtreme on air everyday.

2nd Year at NAB... the Marc-15
modular console

Arrakis
introduced the MARC-15 modular, analog console at last year's
NAB convention. The console, which began shipping in November
of 2008, has been very successful because of its many unique
features: supports two external phone hybrids, a USB-PC module
that plays
and records
in digital
to a Windows PC, RJ45 connectors (cables included
with the console... a $1,200 value), 15 channels with 30 inputs,

the NAB convention. A few of the unique features that competing
products can not match are...
 15 channels

phantom power option & Remote Mic Turret Logic & XLR connectors
 Real VU meters, not inexpensive LED meters
