WITH DOLBY DIGITAL SURROUND EX SUPPORT Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 speakers with

Dolby Digital Surround EX movies and digital music
Creative (Nasdaq: CREAF), the worldwide leader in
digital entertainment products for the personal computer and the Internet,
announces the Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 speakers. This outstanding 6.1 PC
speaker system, which offers Dolby Digital® Surround EX support when connected
to the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 sound card, includes a subwoofer and six
satellites. The rear centre speaker ensures incredible audio realism in
DirectSound® 3D game titles, Dolby Digital Surround EX DVD movies and digital
music.
Available at the end of October for £99.99 incl. VAT,
the Inspire 6.1 6700 offers cohesive spatial imaging with accurate, high-impact
sound reproduction, giving listeners of any content a remarkably pure, involving
listening experience in multi-channel PC games and movies. The additional rear
centre channel provides crucial audio information in DirectSound 3D games, and
also gives users a much smoother 'panning' effect as audio moves across the rear
of the sound stage.
"This system maintains the exceptional standards set by
other products in the Creative Inspire speaker family," explains Leonardo
Colucci, brand manager for Speakers with Creative Labs Europe. "We took the
satellite and subwoofer technology introduced with the Creative Inspire 5.1
Digital 5700 system and built on it to create this exciting addition to the
range," he continues.
"It has everything gamers will need to enjoy the latest
6.1 releases, with ultra-clear voice, precise positioning and realistic audio
perspectives, both front/rear and left/right," he adds. "Movie buffs will be
delighted with its performance in Dolby Digital EX movies, too, especially when
used with our new Sound Blaster® Audigy(tm) 2 sound cards," he concludes.
The Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 has a dynamic frequency
response from 40Hz to 20kHz, ensuring a clean range of output. It delivers a
total 82 Watts RMS system power for 6.1 positional audio on EAX and Microsoft®
DirectSound 3D games and is the perfect audio delivery system for Dolby Digital
Surround EX movies. When used with the new Sound Blaster Audigy 2, users will
experience sound from six speakers and the subwoofer. Alternatively, they can
enable the CMSS® (Creative Multi-Speaker Surround) up-mix facility to create a
6.1 sound field when using the speakers with a Sound Blaster 5.1 sound card.
The system has five satellites, each at 8 Watts RMS, and
a front centre speaker at 20 Watts RMS. These are all built using Creative
IFP(tm) (Image Focusing Plate) design technology, which employs a curved front
baffle and a contoured driver flare to improve sonic accuracy without
sacrificing tonal balance. The 22 Watt RMS subwoofer features a dual flared port
tube which allows air to flow smoothly for cleaner bass reproduction, and a
long-throw, 6.5-inch driver for rock-solid bass. Users can easily manage this
powerful system using the compact, wired remote control, which includes a master
volume/bass control, power switch and LED indicator.
