Designed to complement the Sound Blaster Live! family of audio accelerators, the FourPointSurround FPS2000 Digital offers true digital transfer from sound card to speakers with its new Digital DIN input. This provides the cleanest, most distortion free audio signal available today, which allows the FPS2000 Digital to deliver incredible high-performance three-dimensional realism with Environmental Audio games.
"The FourPointSurround FPS2000 Digital provides a truly intense gaming experience," said Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and chief executive officer for Creative Labs. "This four-channel speaker system, coupled with Creative's Sound Blaster Live! audio card, creates the first true digital surround sound system available for the hard-core gamer. It is also an ideal system for the value conscious music enthusiast who wants big sounding digital clarity without a big budget."
"Since we first introduced this phenomenal new speaker system at Fall COMDEX, the response from gamers and audio enthusiasts has been overwhelming. The quality, clarity and power - at a price under $200 - exceeded all expectations," said Tom Hannaher, senior vice president of Marketing for Cambridge SoundWorks. "Adding digital capability to this FourPointSurround system will satisfy the wish list of the most demanding gamer or high-end audio enthusiast, making this the clear standard for PC gaming."
High Performance Design
FourPointSurround FPS2000 Digital consists of four high-output
satellite speakers with 2 1/2" long-throw drivers and
a high-output powered subwoofer in modern black casings. The
satellite speakers use the same format as the award-winning SoundWorks
speakers and the subwoofer is a completely new, more powerful
design. Four satellite speaker amplifiers are located in the
subwoofer enclosure. The system also includes a separate volume/fade
control with power On/Off switch, four desktop satellite stands
and a pair of 18" tripod-style floor stands for the rear
satellites. The FPS2000 Digital was primarily designed to complement
the Sound Blaster Live! family of audio accelerators - it can
also work with other four-channel audio solutions in analog mode.
Pricing and Availability
With a retail price of under $200, the FourPointSurround FPS2000
Digital makes an extraordinary 3D audio component for the ultimate
gaming machine. Gamers and audio enthusiasts can expect to see
the FourPointSurround FPS2000 Digital in stores this April.
