Creative`s premium desktop and portable speaker systems are designed with advanced NeoTitanium micro drivers to deliver exceptionally clear and accurate audio performance. These micro drivers are delicately crafted with Titanium - a precious metal used notably in spacecraft and expensive jewellery - and driven by powerful Neodymium magnets. Carefully tuned by our audio engineers, the result is superior sound delivery when compared to common aluminium micro drivers. All our TravelSound and TravelDock speakers are equipped with these NeoTitanium micro drivers for maximum music enjoyment.
