AMX Corporation Makes Key Moves
in Effort to Return Company to Profitability
- --Two new board members and workforce reduction part of strategic business
plan--

RICHARDSON, TEXAS-November 28, 2001-AMX Corporation (NASDAQ: AMXC), the
worldwide leader in advanced control system technology, announced the
appointment of two members to its Board of Directors. Thomas L. Harrison and
John E. Wilson bring more than 65 years of experience to AMX and will play a
pivotal role as the company continues to realign its business goals.

Tom Harrison is a managing principal and president of Hoak Capital Corporation,
a private equity firm engaged in management buyouts, and currently serves on the
board of directors of four other communications related companies. Harrison was
previously a principal with Haas, Wheat & Harrison and Hicks & Haas, which were
Dallas-based private investment firms. John Wilson, a nationally recognized
sales and marketing consultant, was formerly the president of Amtech Systems
Corporation, the inventor of toll tag technology. Wilson has executive level
sales management and marketing experience with Harris Adacom Network Services
and 30 years with IBM Corporation. Wilson also serves on the board of directors
for other technology companies.

AMX also announced a realignment of its corporate structure resulting in the
reduction of 66 Dallas-based positions realizing an annualized savings of $3.8
million. The company will record a charge of approximately $650,000 in the third
quarter of fiscal 2002 related to this restructuring activity. The Company
expects to partially offset the reductions with the addition of key strategic
new hires.  Total savings identified to date related to the company's cost
containment and restructuring activities will result in net ongoing annualized
cost reductions of approximately $7.0 million.

Bob Carroll, AMX Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said that AMX will
continue to invest in resources that accelerate the company's growth by focusing
on market-driven product development. "Shareholder confidence comes with company
efficiency and profitability. We are in the process of building the right team
of experienced executives who compliment the organization's existing strengths
and will work together to meet our dealers' and partners' business objectives,"
Carroll said.
