CLARION CORPORATION OF AMERICA CERTIFIES ANDREA ELECTRONICS' AUTOMOBILE MICROPHONE

Andrea AutoArray (TM) Microphone Endorsed by Clarion for Use with Clarion AutoPC (TM)

Melville, NY and Gardena, CA, January 5, 1999 -- Andrea Electronics Corporation (AMEX: AND) announced today that Clarion Advanced Technology Corporation, a subsidiary of Clarion Corporation of America, has certified the Andrea AutoArray (TM) for use with the Clarion AutoPC (TM), an in-dash information, communication, navigation, and entertainment car audio system. Introduced in November, the Andrea AutoArray incorporates the Company's patented Digital Super Directional Array (DSDA(TM)) technology, which uses an array of microphones and unique software design to focus on drivers' voices and actively cancel ambient noise. DSDA microphone arrays enable the user to be at a distance from the microphone, thus providing hands-free use. The technology and design of the Andrea AutoArray allows AutoPC users to achieve superior levels of voice input clarity for optimal speech recognition performance. By eliminating noises caused by wind, road & engine hum, air conditioning or passengers' conversations, the Andrea AutoArray provides a critical speech clarity solution for AutoPCs.

"The Clarion AutoPC revolutionizes the concept of in-vehicle computing and driver interconnectivity. When we designed this next generation mobile computing device, driver safety and efficiency were a top priority for Clarion," said James Minarik, President of Clarion Corporation of America. "Andrea's AutoArray enables superior voice recognition accuracy in noisy environments, such as in a convertible automobile."

"Clarion's certification of the Andrea AutoArray further demonstrates Andrea's ability to create state-of-the-art products for voice-enabled, PC-based applications," said Douglas J. Andrea, Co-Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer at Andrea Electronics Corporation. "We believe products incorporating our DSDA (TM) technology, such as the Andrea AutoArray, should contribute to the Company's success in providing the optimal front-end voice recognition solution for future applications."

Andrea AutoArray (TM) - Digital Super Directional Array (DSDA(TM)) Technology

DSDA microphone technology, developed by Lamar Signal Processing, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Andrea Electronics, directs a cone-shaped acoustic beam at the speaker. The software enhances the speaker's voice received through the acoustic beam and cancels other sounds from outside the beam. The result is a high quality voice signal. The new Andrea AutoArray is a far-field microphone solution designed specifically for use with car phones and Auto PCs, including the Clarion AutoPC. The capabilities behind this powerful new microphone technology is anticipated to enable a whole new driving experience, allowing for easy, safe and efficient in-vehicle computing.

The Clarion AutoPC (TM)

The Clarion AutoPC is the first product that integrates car audio, computing functions, navigation and wireless communications through hands-free voice activation into a 1-DIN unit in the dash of an automobile. It recognizes simple voice commands, allowing consumers to select music and retrieve contact information, among others tasks, without taking their eyes off the road. The Clarion AutoPC, built on a revolutionary open architecture platform and powered by the Microsoft Windows CE 2.0 operating system, demonstrates Clarion's aggressive commitment to developing a new generation of mobile multimedia products that converge car audio with personal computing.
