X-Fi technology breathes life back into the songs. It restores the details, expands the music to surround sound and creates an experience that goes beyond studio quality.
Restore the details to your downloaded music and movies. Most downloadable music and movies are compressed; making downloads fast, and storage and portability convenient. The downside is that the quality and fullness of your songs and soundtracks are diminished.
Enter the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card. It restores the details and vibrance to your audio by intelligently enhancing the highs and lows. You'll hear it all-crisp cymbal crashes, wailing guitar solos, screeching tires and deep, booming explosions.
Surround sound from your stereo music and movies? Yes! Your Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card expands your stereo MP3s and digital movies into surround sound. Voices are centered in front of you. Ambient sound appears all around you... just like a live performance. Listen on a pair of desktop speakers or a full 5.1 speaker system.
Slip on your headphones and X-Fi also moves the sound away from your ears and into the space around you. You'll be surrounded by nine virtual speakers and feel like you're sitting in with your favorite band or that you've been dropped into the best seat in the movie theater.
Enjoy the ultimate PC movie experience with the latest cinematic technologies. The Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card includes Cyberlink PowerDVD software with DTS® and Dolby Digital®-EX decoding via free download for an unbeatable DVD movie watching experience (Internet connection is required).
