Creative adopts two-way design in satellites to bring quality audio to music, gaming and home entertainment
Creative, announces the Creative Inspire(tm) T Series family of speakers. Harnessing the latest developments in technology and design for the PC environment and blending them with proven developments from the hi-fi arena, this new range offers users a major step ahead in audio quality.
The T Series consists of three products which deliver, respectively, high-quality 2.1 stereo for music lovers, high-power 5.1-channel impact for gaming enthusiasts and a fully immersive 7.1 sound stage for a high-impact experience in games and movies that include the latest surround sound effects.
"The secret behind the T Series is the use of a two-way design in the satellites, an approach that comes from the world of hi-fi audio," explains Leonardo Colucci, European speakers business manager with Creative. "By incorporating a tweeter as well as a mid-range driver we give users a smoother transition between frequencies and a tighter, more focused and clearer sound picture across the audio stage. The impact is further enhanced by the wood subwoofer, which provides powerful but detailed bass.
"Combined with Creative's track record in leveraging ground-breaking technology at all levels of the market, this new family ensures that users can enjoy even better audio in any speaker configuration," adds Colucci.
The Creative Inspire T2900 is a 2.1 speaker system that brings high quality stereo sound to the PC world at an SRP of £69.99 including VAT. With dual two-way 6-Watts RMS satellites and a 17-Watts RMS subwoofer, it produces effortless high tones and perfectly integrated vocals and instrumentals, all the way from smooth treble through to detailed mid-range and down to rich, powerful bass. The system will be available in September and comes with Creative's Audio Control Pod, the feature-rich wired remote that integrates M-PORT(tm) connectivity for direct audio playback with compatible Creative MuVo digital audio players.
The Creative Inspire T5400 is a 5.1 speaker system that brings a fresh approach to PC audio. The front and centre satellites are based on Creative's two-way design, and these work alongside the two rear speakers and a powerful 22-Watts RMS subwoofer to give breathtaking results when used with any Sound Blaster 5.1 card or above. The system will also up-mix 4-channel input to 5.1 surround. A versatile wired remote with headphone connector, power, volume and bass controls adds the finishing touch. The SRP of this speaker system will be £99.99 including VAT with availability in October.
The Creative Inspire T7700 speaker system delivers true 7.1 surround sound impact with movies and games. This complete audio entertainment solution supports Dolby® Digital EX plus DTS-ES(tm) and gives exceptional results with EAX ADVANCED HD games when used with a 7.1 Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS card. It can also up-mix 5.1 and 6.1 content to 7.1 surround. The front and centre satellites feature Creative's two-way design and the system also comes with a fully-featured wired remote and M-PORT(tm) connectivity for direct audio playback with compatible Creative MuVo digital audio players.
The Inspire T7700 speaker system will be available at the beginning of September with a SRP of £119.99 including VAT.
"We are particularly proud of M-PORT connectivity," concludes Leonardo Colucci. "This is a Creative development which enables users of compatible Creative MuVo MP3 players to plug their devices directly into our speakers.
We believe that M-PORT is a big step ahead for personal audio pleasure, and another move towards integration of personal entertainment with the 'digital' world."
