The hardware of this device allows connection to Windows & Mac PCs and Playstation 3 via USB, and the Xbox 360 or any other device by a combo Optical Audio/3.5mm-in port. It features adjustable 'THX TruStudio Pro Surround' processing to replace Creative's precious CMSS-3D, Dolby Digital decoding, a 'Scout Mode' to boost tactical sounds amongst the other sound effects, and Crystal Voice on PC.
A little intro may help, as this first-impression review is adapted from a thread discussion.Ĭreative's relatively new Recon3D Surround Sound Processor is a USB sound card that's main function is to turn 5.1, 7.1, or PC 3D surround gaming audio into virtual surround for headphones/headsets and near-field PC speakers.
