Press office of the company Creative Technology Ltd. officially announced the launch of three new generation of sound cards manufactured in the form of expansion boards for PCI Express x1.
At the Court of consumers are offered a basic model of Sound Blaster Recon3D PCIe and its more advanced modifications Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Professional and Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Champion. All of them have a proprietary design called Sound Core3D, which is “taken up by” instead of products used in the previous concept of X-Fi. The main difference between Sound Core3D of X-Fi is the use of special digital signal processor (DSP) chips instead of a series on the architecture CA20K RISC.
It should be noted that the description of their creations creators talk about the “quad” structure of products, but really it is only the presence of a set of four DSP, two of which are responsible for implementing such complex technologies, such as THX TruStudio Pro and Creative CrystalVoice. Their forces improves the performance of compressed audio (Technology THX TruStudio Pro Crystalizer), formed the bulk sound picture (technology TruStudio Pro Surround), aligned with the volume (the technology Smart Volume), increased dialogue intelligibility during negotiations (Technology Dialog Plus), for the shortage of low-frequency (Technology Pro Bass), increasing the overall quality of voice calls (Acoustic Echo Cancellation Technology and Noise Reduction), as well as an opportunity to change your voice to remain anonymous (technology FX).

But the Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Professional and Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Champion ingenious in execution of a protective casing with red LED illumination and a transparent polycarbonate window. They differ from each other not only dial retired mounting plate interfaces, but the fact that the first added to the microphone and the second was a special front panel of the input-output, which is embedded in a 5.25 – or 3.5-inch drive bay desktop system unit PC.
