Creative Technology has announced the launch of a wide range of new products that include the Aurvana ANC Headphones, Muvo 2 series of wireless speakers, Nuno series of wireless speakers, Roar series of wireless speakers, Outlier Sports series of earphones, and SB X series of gaming products.
The new Creative Aurvana ANC is a high-performance headset designed for urban travelers. The headphone comes with a durable braided audio cable with inline microphone for music controls and phone calls. The Aurvana ANC utilizes specially designed built-in microphones embedded in both earcups to dynamically monitor the levels of external ambient noise entering the ear. The headphone then intelligently cancels out the external environmental noise so users enjoy only the desired audio coming from the headphone.
Creative also announced the Muvo 2 Series of splashproof/dustproof (IP66-rated) speakers and the more compact palm-sized Muvo 2c speakers. These speakers are designed to provide today’s smartphone and tablet users with a small but powerful Bluetooth speaker solution that they can take with them just about anywhere—the Muvo 2 series is waterproof and even dustproof. The Creative Muvo 2 and 2c also allows users to connect a second speaker wirelessly for an even wider sound stage.
Creative’s new Nuno Series of designer lifestyle portable Bluetooth speakers are made using a special fabric material. The series comprises of the compact Creative Nuno and the even more compact palm-sized Nuno Micro.
The company’s new iRoar Go features 2 high-performance amplifiers – one dedicated to driving lows and mids, another solely for delivering highs – they produce clear, spacious, well-balanced audio without compromising on the bass. As a result, the iRoar Go is able to deliver powerful room-filling audio that is not sweet-spot dependant. Users can even choose between placing the speaker horizontally for room-filling and balanced audio, or vertically for louder and more directed audio.
The Creative iRoar Intelligent Portable Bluetooth Speaker System is a compact multipurpose iRoar that represents the next step in the evolution of portable speakers. It features good audio performance, expandability, intelligent audio processing, personalization and a collaborative open platform that allows for value-added third-party add-ons such as the iRoar Mic and the iRoar Rock Subwoofer. And, it is twice as powerful as the original Sound Blaster Roar and has a huge 20-hour battery life.
The Creative Sound Blaster Roar Pro is a powerful compact Bluetooth Speaker made for audio entertainment and professional usage as a wireless personal PA system (public address system) when used with the optional wireless Creative iRoar Mic. The Sound Blaster Roar Pro is the first in the all new professional series of speakers by Creative and comes in exclusive Matte Black.
The Creative Outlier Sports is specially engineered and acoustically tuned to deliver clear detailed audio with powerful bass. The high-performance sweatproof Bluetooth headphones personify the ideal headphone audio experience for the active lifestyle enthusiast who draws inspiration from music while free from wires.
The Creative SB Blaze Performance Gaming Headset is made for the serious gamer. It delivers an amazing level of power, precision and comfort for its price point. Fans of its predecessor, the Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset, will welcome the fact that the new headset meets the same design and audio standards, but is now available in an edgier military matte black finish.
The company also announced new additions to its Sound BlasterX Gaming Series of devices. The new additions include the Sound BlasterX H7, which is a HD 7.1 Surround USB circumaural gaming headset. The new Sound BlasterX H5 is a analog circumaural gaming headset, while the Sound BlasterX H3 is a portable analog circumaural gaming headset. The Sound BlasterX P5 on the other hand is a in-ear gaming earphone, and the Sound BlasterX G5 is a 7.1 HD audio external sound card with built-in headphone amplifier. The company’s Sound BlasterX G1 is a thumb-sized USB sound card with true 7.1 HD surround sound.
The Sound BlasterX Katana is, according to Creative, the world’s first Under-Monitor Audio System that comes with Creative’s most powerful multi-core audio DSP. This doubles as a high-end Sound Blaster sound card/DAC that projects 24-bit high-resolution audio for lossless, crystal-clear and impressive room-filling sound.
Its sophisticated tri-amplified design that powers 5-drivers comprises of 2 up-firing midbass drivers, 2 high-excursion tweeters, and a long-throw subwoofer, each individually powered by a DSP-controlled amplifier for precise audio reproduction at each part of the audio spectrum. Incorporating BlasterX Acoustic Engine and a Dolby Digital 5.1 decoder, the Sound BlasterX Katana gives users immersive audio for games and movies. The sleek audio system, crafted with brushed aluminium, also features a programmable Aurora Reactive lighting system with 16.8 million colours.
The Sound BlasterX Kratos S5 2.1 gaming speaker system features built-in Sound Blaster USB audio for up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution playback to reproduce highly detailed lossless audio and wooden enclosures for fuller, more natural sound than plastic based designs.
