Local PC brand, Sahara, has unveiled three new additions to Creative Technology's Inspire speaker line.
The new generation of Inspire speakers incorporates a two-way speaker design and includes Creative's first 7.1 PC speaker system - the Creative Inspire T7700. New additions are the 5.1 Creative Inspire T5400 and the 2.1 Creative Inspire T2900.
"The Creative Inspire T7700 is designed to deliver 7.1 positional audio when paired with the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS, but can also be used with any 5.1 or 6.1 sound card for an enveloping audio experience," says Atul Gupta, MD at Sahara.
"A tweeter and mid-range driver in the system's three front speakers work in harmony to create rich tonal balance between highs and mids, ensuring accurate, crystal clear audio quality. The side satellite speakers offer smoother pans and pinpoint accuracy from the latest EAX or Microsoft DirectSound 3D games that are unavailable in 5.1 solutions," says Gupta.
In addition to the seven speaker satellites, the Creative Inspire T7700 speaker system includes a reinforced wood subwoofer with a 6.5-inch long-throw driver and a dual-flared port tube for deep, clean bass from PC games and DVD movies.
It is equipped with Creative Multi-Speaker System (CMSS) technology, an EAX multi-channel up-mixing functionality for a high-quality surround environment.
"CMSS dramatically enhances the playback of 5.1/6.1 audio soundtracks and music files across the full 7.1 speaker configuration.
"The feature-rich Audio Control Pod included with the Creative Inspire T7700 speaker system integrates an M-PORT for streaming music with compatible Creative audio players such as the Creative NOMAD MuVo NX," says Gupta.
The remote features a line-in, headphone jack, power on/off and convenient volume/bass controls. The Creative Inspire T7700 speaker system includes removable metal stands to enable wall mounting of satellite speakers or placement on a desktop.
Creative Inspire T5400
Perfect for gaming and music listening, the Creative Inspire T5400 includes five satellite speakers and a reinforced wooden subwoofer.
The three front satellite speakers include a tweeter in addition to a mid range driver. The speakers are specifically designed to provide improved high frequency performance with clear vocals and smooth-sounding instruments.
With Creative's proprietary CMSS upmix technology, users can experience realistic 5.1 surround sound from movies, games and music. The included wired remote includes controls for volume and bass and a headphone jack.
Creative Inspire T2900
For exceptional music and MP3 listening, the Creative Inspire T2900 borrows technology and performance from the new Creative Inspire 5.1 and 7.1 speaker systems.
"The Creative Inspire T2900 consists of two sonically refined speakers, each featuring a tweeter and a mid range driver to create a perfect tonal balance between highs and mids, ensuring accurate and clean music reproduction. The reinforced subwoofer ensures powerful bass reproduction," says Gupta.
"The system's versatile Audio Control Pod also integrates an M-PORT for streaming music with compatible Creative NOMAD MuVo players. It also features auxiliary line-in, headphone jack, power on/off switch, and volume and bass control making it ideal as a standalone music listening speaker system," he concludes.
