Creative moves with Sahara to rock digital entertainment market with GigaWorks 7.1 speaker system

Johannesburg, 09 Jun 2004

Creative Technology Ltd, an international developer of hi-tech digital entertainment products for PC users, has ushered in a new era in audio power, clarity and realism with the Creative GigaWorks speaker systems now available to the South African market through Sahara Computers.

The Creative THX certified GigaWorks speaker systems deliver 700W of total system burst power and are the ultimate for power and realism in PC gaming, reaching astonishing new levels of audio clarity from music and movies.

"The release of the GigaWorks 7.1 speaker system marks an exciting new phase in the development of digital audio equipment. Consumers are hungry for improved performance and quality, and innovation within audio-visual technology has made a meaningful contribution towards the overall growth within the digital entertainment market. Sahara Computers has kept a close eye on this space and has added range and volume to its product offering. It is fair to say that the company has adapted its go-to-market strategy to follow through on Creative Labs digital technology and place the convenience and benefit directly at the fingertips of its market," explains Atul Gupta, MD of Sahara Computers.

Ideally matched to the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS and USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX, the Creative GigaWorks S750 takes full advantage of the 7.1 surround capabilities creating an all-encompassing soundfield perfect for 3D gaming. At 210W, the Creative GigaWorks ported subwoofer with its 8-inch down-firing woofer, is the most accurate and powerful subwoofer in its price range, delivering chest-thumping bass.

Contributing to the Creative GigaWorks state of the art technology, each satellite speaker utilises a two-way design with a titanium supertweeter for accurate and natural response at the highest frequencies and beyond, revealing the ultrasonic components in a sound mix - making the Creative GigaWorks the only PC speaker matched perfectly for DVD-Audio quality.

The wired Audio Control Pod offers maximum speaker system controls and works with the wireless remote control to provide additional convenient control of the system.
