About X-Fi 3
About X-Fi
X-Fi is the new audio standard from Creative that gives you an experience
beyond studio quality from your music and movies.
Imagine being in the studio as your favorite artist records a new album. The
sound is real and live the way it was meant to be heard. When that album
gets mass-produced on CD, it is compressed to fit the format and the sound
quality of that original performance suffers. When you further compress the
songs into MP3, you’ll notice an even greater loss of sound quality. Your
favorite album now sounds flat and lifeless. X-Fi technology breathes life
back into the songs. It restores the details, expands the music to surround
sound and creates an experience that goes beyond studio quality.
About X-Fi Crystalizer
Most downloadable music and movies are compressed; making downloads
fast, and storage and portability convenient. The downside is that the quality
and fullness of your songs and soundtracks are diminished.
X-Fi Crystalizer analyzes audio, identifies the elements that have been
restricted/damaged during compression and re-masters them by selective
audio enhancement. X-Fi Crystalizer instantaneously transforms your CDs
and MP3s to crystal clear sound.

About X-Fi CMSS-3D

sound with voices centered in front of you and ambient sound all around
you. Designed not only for stereo speakers and multichannel systems, it
even supports headphones, surrounding you with nine virtual speakers so
you feel like you’re sitting in with your favorite band or that you’ve been
dropped into the best seat in the movie theater.
