May 13, 2008 at 08:00:00 AM, by Rating: 0 out of 5

Expands X-Fi range to feature a new USB-based sound solution for laptop users.

Creative has launched its first USB 2.0 audio solution that provides laptop and PC users premium Xtreme Fidelity (X-Fi) audio experience on their desktops or notebooks. The company already offers similar ExpressCard-based solution for laptops.

The Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 features an elegant black design. As this device operates over USB interface, users can simply connect the device to their PC or notebook via the USB port and improve the audio quality. It enables full cinematic surround sound for movies and EAX ADVANCED HD effects in PC games.

Creative USB X-Fi Sound Solution

The Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 provides 24-bit Crystalizer and CMSS-3D technology.

X-Fi 24-bit Crystalizer: The X-Fi 24-bit Crystalizer revitalises downloaded music and movies by restoring the details and vibrance that music and movies lost during compression. The X-Fi technology intelligently enhances all the highs and lows so everything can be heard in crystal clarity, making MP3s sound even better than CDs.

X-Fi CMSS-3D: The X-Fi CMSS-3D technology expands stereo MP3s and digital movies into virtual multi-speakers or headphones. Voices are centred in front of users with ambient sounds accurately positioned all around them, similar to a live performance.
