THX TruStudio Pro Software Included
The included THX TruStudio Pro software is specially designed to bring the same great audio experience found in the live performances, films, and recording studios - and now with Recon3D, to the console gaming platform. THX TruStudio Pro provides the latest groundbreaking technologies that are products of years of collective experience and research by Creative and THX, include Crystalizer, Dialog Plus, Smart Volume, and more. Together, these technologies deliver the fullest audio experience for music, movies and games, while remaining true to the source and intention of the artists who created it.
THX TruStudio Pro Crystalizer
THX TruStudio Pro Crystalizer enables game audio to be heard as the developers originally intended. Subtle details which are typically lost in the mix are now captured and enhanced, making a scene or moment go from good to magical. The clang and ringing of swords on armor, or even the hum of a BFG fragging enemies, make all the difference when creating amazing game audio. Crystalizer ensures that every last detail will be heard.
THX TruStudio Pro Surround
THX TruStudio Pro Surround goes beyond 5.1 or 7.1 audio and provides a customizable level of audio immersion. The algorithm adds depth and spatial information to standard stereo audio streams, and really comes into its own when it is fed 5.1 or 7.1 audio from a game. When this occurs, the algorithm takes the streams and stimulates hundreds of virtual speakers to create a seamless and incredibly realistic surround experience, far surpassing standard stereo headphones, headsets, or speakers.
THX TruStudio Pro Bass
THX TruStudio Pro Bass fills in the missing low frequency tones and gives the extra impact for a better entertainment experience. Gamers no longer have to tolerate a lack of bass in speakers built into notebook PCs, 2.0 speakers, or headphones: THX TruStudio Pro Bass technology dramatically improves the sound experience.
THX TruStudio Pro Dialog Plus
THX TruStudio Pro Dialog Plus enhances voices in games and movies for drastically clearer dialog. the vocal range is "lifted" out from the ambient and background soundtrack mix, allowing the listeners to hear dialog much more clearly.
THX TruStudio Pro Smart Volume
THX TruStudio Pro Smart Volume addresses the problem of abrupt volume changes during playback, and between sources, by continuously measuring volume and applying gain and attenuation to compensate for variances. The result is a consistent volume level despite source levels. This is particularly ideal when using VOIP programs, where users have wildly varying volume levels when communicating.
