Creative X-Fi Elite Pro

Boost your desktop's audio performance with a sound card from one of the premier names in computer audio—Creative Labs. The Sound Blaster Elite Pro sound card is Creative's top-of-the-line audio solution for music, movies, and games, delivering all of the company’s latest technologies in one package. The card's X-Fi 24-bit Crystalizer will make your game audio more dynamic and realistic while improving both low and high frequencies giving you smoother, cleaner sound. Creative's CMSS-3D technology is able to remix your stereo audio into surround sound—even through stereo headphones. This is ideal for playing first-person shooters so you can hear your enemies before it's too late. EAX Advanced HD 5.0 further improves game audio tracks providing a more immersive experience. There's 64MB of onboard RAM as well, freeing up demands on your PC's memory and increasing overall gaming performance. Music and movies benefit from Creative's audio technology know-how, too. For enjoying your favorite DVDs, the card is THX-certified and can handle decoding DTS and Dolby Digital EX duties. The Crystalizer and CMSS-3D technology also team together to improve your digital music and let you "SuperRip" your CDs boosting the fidelity of ripped audio above that of low-quality MP3 files. For those that enjoy creating music, a built-in pre-amp is available for direct recording and high-impedance inputs for electric guitars. Plus, an external I/O box gives you access to inputs and outputs from the front of your computer and the bundled remote turns your computer into a full entertainment center.
