For Immediate Release:

Kansas City Missouri, October 15, 2005 - IASCA Competitor member Scott Owens
of Team Edge Audio, Tempe, Arizona has accomplished what many once labeled the
impossible. In the IASCA IdBL competition lanes at the USACi / IASCA Unified
Finals, Scott and his team broke the 180dB mark for the first time in Soundoff
history. Never before on any meter, in any country, has this SPL barrier been
broken. The new world record in IASCA IdBL was recorded at 180.3 dB and was
backed up with a second run matching the first. Scott competes with his Silver
Ford F150 in the IASCA Ultimate 4 Division.

When asked what Team Edge Audio did to reach this milestone, Owens said, “I
attribute it to long hours, good record keeping and unrelenting teamwork. You
can’t get where you want to go, unless you identify what you did to get to where
you are. Our team members work very well together; and with the support of our
sponsors Pioneer, Scosche, Kinetik and Ohio Generator we have the tools and
knowledge to edge out these incredible numbers”.

Owens’ score was measured on the IASCA SA 3056 SPL meter with the SPL 190
pressure sensor manufactured by Audiocontrol. Chris Kane of Audiocontrol was at
the event and remarked “it’s amazing! A decade ago we got some strange looks
when we introduced the SPL 150 microphone. It’s a good thing we developed the
SPL190 sensor; now I wonder how long it’ll be before we need the “SPL 200”.

IASCA Worldwide Director (and former IdBL champion) Moe Sabourin said “I know
what it takes to squeak out those last few points at the top of the SPL scale
and all I can say is that Scott and his teammates has what it takes”!

Complete results of the IASCA Competition at the Unified Finals will be posted
right after the event; please visit www.iasca.com.
