About this deal

Extra channels are just directly at sides and those positions can be easily "encoded" by 5.1 with equal signal in both front and rear channels of that side.

Sound Blaster Recon3D Professional Audio Sound Card". Asia.creative.com. 2012-09-16 . Retrieved 2013-02-13. Below is a specs comparison between the Sound Blaster AE-9, AE-7 and AE-5. Sound Blaster AE-9 vs AE-7 vs AE-5 Specs Comparison Above you can see what’s inside the AE-7. All the connectors are gold-plated and looks like the components used are good to great quality as well. Sennheisers have very frequency dependant impedance with peak at driver's resonance frequency nearing 300 ohms: And yes, you can use 7.1 headsets with 5.1 sound cards. They will just play six channels instead of eight. Just remember that most 5.1 and 7.1 headsets offer virtual surround. They use two drivers but create virtual surround sound via software. Real 7.1 headphones often come with their own sound cards that support the true 7.1 setup. USB Vs. PCIe Sound Cards

No suitable product is found.

When it comes to 7.1 headsets, they will work with any sound card if they are USB-based. USB headsets have their own sound card inside them and will have eight channels no matter which sound card you’re using. Sound Blaster Audigy Rx (September 2013) is similar to the Audigy 4 but with a dedicated 600-ohm headphone amplifier and a PCIe 1x interface. [21] Scout mode is like a “cheat” where it would help the gamer hear the footsteps or make the speech of the other players or characters more audible. I’m not sure if this is going to be useful in competitive fast paced games like Counter Strike; since the player will mostly concentrate on the screen or what the player sees instead of hear. I’m personally not a fan of this feature so I just leave it turned off. Sound Blaster Audigy RX | Creative Labs Online Store". Archived from the original on 2013-09-28 . Retrieved 2013-09-23.

The kit bundled the sound card, a Matsushita CD-ROM drive (model 531 for single-speed, or 562/3 for the later double-speed (2x) drives), and several CD-ROMs of multimedia software titles. As CD-ROM technology was new, the kit included CD-ROM software, representing a very good value to customers. One such kit, named "OmniCD", included the 2x Matsushita drive along with an ISA controller card and software, including Software Toolworks Encyclopedia and Aldus PhotoStyler SE. It was compliant with the MPC Level 2 standard. On gaming, the results were similar to the AE-5. Music didn’t feel as if it got much uplift, and this is probably due to the compression and sampling used. But it was much easier to distinguish between music, movement, and using abilities. Combat was much clearer, instead of being the usual mush of noise. When Microsoft announced Multimedia PC (MPC) in November 1990, it suggested to developers that they use the Sound Blaster as it was the only sound card that came close to complying with the MPC standard. The press speculated that Microsoft based the MPC standard on the Sound Blaster's specifications. [9] By 1993 Computer Gaming World wondered "why would a gamer" buy a competing AdLib card that was not Sound Blaster-compatible. [10] Creative advertised the Sound Blaster 16 ("the 16-bit sound standard") with the slogan "Get Real", emphasizing its "real 100% Sound Blaster compatibility" and rhetorically asking "why those other manufacturers spend so much time comparing themselves to Sound Blaster".

Now lets be clear the Zx ran my cans just fine. The issue is that the AE-7 is no better (as long as I use the highest preset). Which was one of the reason why I bought the AE-7. I expected to use Normal which is 32-149Ohm rated preset. In which I can hear the sound reduce in overall volume when I set it to Normal. Which now becomes lower then Zx. At a guess, this very software feature would do the exact same thing for Zx Control Panel if made available IMO.

By the way, I am using the MrSpeakers Ether Flow, Audeze LCDi4 and Campfire Audio Andromeda to test and listen with the AE-7. I don’t have a hard-to-drive headphone or a headphone that has a very high impedance, like 600 Ohms. So, I was not able to test how the AE-7 would handle a high impedance headphone.

There's also Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect Encoding for even more delivery options to your external audio devices. Like the Sound BlasterX AE-5 that we reviewed in 2017, the AE-7 is a massive leap in audio quality from the built-in sound that’s integrated into most modern motherboards. You don’t need to be an acoustic snob to hear the difference, just a reasonable pair of headphones or speakers that can show what the card is capable of. But it’s the additional touches that Creative included in this anniversary card that make it almost perfect for me. I can only see two cons or something that you may want to consider before deciding whether you need the AE-7 or not. First, it is relatively expensive compared to the other PCIe sound cards in the market. But it does offer features that other sound cards do not. Not to mention, the Audio Control Module (ACM) is really a convenient accessory. Weksler, Mike; McGee, Joe (October 1993). "CGW Sound Card Survey". Computer Gaming World. pp.76–83 . Retrieved 26 March 2016.

Output Impedance: 1Ω, Supported Headphone Impedance: 16–600Ω, IEM: 16–31Ω (1.9V RMS), Normal: 32–149Ω (3V Rms), High Gain: 150–600Ω (5.6V Rms) The Sound Blaster AE-7 was released in July 2019 alongside the Sound Blaster AE-9. [38] It is equipped with an ESS SABRE 9018 DAC, [39] and it features an ACM (Audio Control Module), which connects to the sound card via two of the audio ports available on the card itself. [39] It doesn't feature RGB lighting, contrary to the AE-5, and it doesn't require external power either. With the Creative Sound Blaster X4, you can also plug in your microphone for more control over your volume and quality allowing you to achieve better communication in your games, a great bonus for gaming.This ratio is expressed in decibels. For instance, is a signal to noise ratio is 50 dB that means that the audio signal coming from the card is fifty decibels higher than the noise signal. That’s pretty bad SNR value. With SNR being 50 dB, you will clearly hear the noise at higher volume levels. In other words, the sound won’t be clear. The audio control module (ACM) is just an extension of the sound card. It’s basically for convenience, so that you can plug your headphone and/or microphone, or adjust the volume. It also has a built-in mic. You can place the ACM on your desktop, so that you don’t have to route your headphone or mic’s cable all the way (behind) your desktop PC.
