The First USB 2.0 Audio Solution Provides Easy Upgrade to Creative's State-of-the-art X-Fi Technology
Dubai, UAE - Creative Technology Ltd., a worldwide leader in digital entertainment products, announces the Creative USB Sound Blaster® X-Fi® Surround 5.1, the first USB 2.0 audio solution that provides users with the easiest upgrade from basic, built-in audio to a premium Xtreme Fidelity™ (X-Fi) experience on PCs and notebooks.
Inside its clean, all-black design the Creative USB Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 features state-of-the-art X-Fi technology, high-quality connectivity and a remote control to enhance every user's enjoyment of music, movies and games. The device connects simply to a PC or notebook via the USB port, enabling users to turn their MP3 music into a unique personal concert. X-Fi technology also allows people to immerse themselves in full cinematic surround sound while watching their favourite DVDs or downloaded videos. In addition, Creative's EAX® Advanced HD effects also provide realistic game play.
X-Fi technology comprises two main features
- X-Fi Crystalizer®: revitalises downloaded music and movies by restoring the details and vibrance that are lost during compression. It intelligently enhances all the highs and lows so everything can be heard in crystal clarity.
- X-Fi CMSS-3D: technology that can expand two-channel MP3s and digital movies into surround sound, even over headphones. It centres voices in front of users and positions ambient sounds around them, just as in a live performance.
