Annex ready to blast local market with Creative X-Fi

Johannesburg, 20 Jun 2006

Annex Distribution has announced the availability of Creative X-Fi Sound Blasters. The advanced audio technology is designed to add value to the audio creation, home entertainment and gaming markets.

The X-Fi Elite Pro is positioned as a top-of-the-range option. It features the entire Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi family of sound cards including 24-bit Crystalizer, CMSS-3D surround and 3D MIDI, bundled into one solution.

Unique to Sound Blaster Elite Pro are professional-quality digital-to-analogue converters (DACs) as well as a 116dB SNR. Also providing for exceptional music creation are advanced features like 24-bit SoundFont sampling, ASIO ultra-low latency for precise recordings, a built-in pre-amp for direct recording, and high-impedance inputs for electric guitars.

"These components provide the reliability, consistency and clarity in surround sound that is required by users in this environment," comments Bill Gradwell, general manager of Annex Distribution. "Gaming enthusiasts will also benefit from X-RAM, the 64MB dedicated on-board memory for higher quality gaming audio and performance."

The X-Fi range incorporates the Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty, Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum and Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic.

"Creative has come out with an offering that is tailored to meet the demand for performance by a growing number of users that are helping to establish and develop a digital lifestyle," adds Gradwell. "If one looks at the Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic, for example, this product enhances the features of the Sound Blaster Audigy series to produce sound quality that breathes new life into MP3s and other audio files."

The Sound Blaster X-Fi range is THX-certified and supports the latest home theatre standards like Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES for a complete home entertainment solution.
