The digital architecture of the Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer processes every audio signal at a full 32-bit resolution for high quality output. To further enhance the digital experience, a digital output allows the connection of four-way digital speakers such as the FourPointSurround FPS2000 Digital for a surround sound experience. Featuring advanced elements such as the powerhouse EMU10K1 processor, customized sound pre-sets and downloadable upgrades through Creative's Live!Ware, the Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer is the gamer's sound card of choice.
The Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer audio accelerator promises to make sound an even more integral part of the gaming experience by fully implementing Creative Labs' Environmental Audio 2.0 standard, which draws gamers into a world that sounds as authentic as it looks by including high quality reverb, improved 3D positioning and support for effects like occlusion and obstruction. While graphics cards have taken center stage in the gaming community over the past several years, the importance of sound solutions has now become clear as games evolve into more immersive experiences. With the Environmental Audio 2.0 standard, sounds can now be accurately heard anywhere within a 360 degree circumference and in an up-down axis. Sounds such as footsteps, a rogue space ship or a slamming door will have a definite place in an evocative soundscape, pulling the gamer further into the 3D realm.
"Gamers have come to expect hardware innovations as compelling as today's top-selling titles," said Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and chief executive officer of Creative Technology Ltd. "Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer represents the kind of unrivaled system optimization that truly brings gaming to the next level."
