        Fairview, PA, February 11, 2005 ----- Spectrum Control, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPEC), a leading designer and manufacturer of electronic control products and systems, today announced that Spectrum Microwave, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, has acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Amplifonix, Inc.

The purchase price of the acquisition was $10 million.

Amplifonix's products are primarily used in military and aerospace applications including military aircraft, secure communications, missiles, radar and defense systems. We believe this acquisition, combined with our acquisition last October of the Components Business Unit of REMEC, will position us as a leader in the hybrid amplifier marketplace. The expansion of our product offerings, particularly with complex advanced systems and components, is a major element of our current strategic focus and long-term growth plan.
