AudioTron contains a microprocessor with two types of memory: 

* Random Access Memory (RAM):
  Used for temporary data storage such as song names, network settings, 
  Group settings, audio buffers, etc.. This type of memory loses its data when
  the main AC power switch is turned off. This is why, for example, AudioTron 
  has to re-scan the network for songs each time the rear panel power is
  turned off. 

* FLASH Memory: 
  Used for storage of program data, referred to as "Firmware". The FLASH RAM 
  does not lose its data when the main AC power is turned off and can be 
  re-programmed with new firmware from the Options menu setting called
  "Update Flash".
  
  Turtle Beach intends to periodically release new updates for the AudioTron
  firmware in order to implement feature enhancements, service packs, and
  operational modifications.
