About X-Fi 3

About X-Fi

X-Fi is the new audio standard from Creative that gives you an experience

beyond studio quality from your music and movies.

Imagine being in the studio as your favorite artist records a new album. The

sound is real and live the way it was meant to be heard. When that album

gets mass-produced on CD, it is compressed to fit the format and the sound

quality of that original performance suffers. When you further compress the

songs into MP3, you’ll notice an even greater loss of sound quality. Your

favorite album now sounds flat and lifeless. 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.

About X-Fi Crystalizer

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.

X-Fi Crystalizer analyzes audio, identifies the elements that have been

restricted/damaged during compression and re-masters them by selective

audio enhancement. X-Fi Crystalizer instantaneously transforms your CDs

and MP3s to crystal clear sound.

About X-Fi CMSS-3D

sound with voices centered in front of you and ambient sound all around

you. Designed not only for stereo speakers and multichannel systems, it

even supports headphones, surrounding you with nine virtual speakers so

you feel like you’re sitting in with your favorite band or that you’ve been

dropped into the best seat in the movie theater.
