Sound BlasterAxx = Sound Blaster + Wireless Speakers
Last week, Creative unveiled the Sound BlasterAxx series, consisting of a trio of USB-powered speakers designed for use with desktop computers and smart mobile devices. Under the hood, these multi-talented speakers use the new SB-Axx1, a multi-core audio processor that Creative has developed with mobile device support in mind. In addition to USB 2.0 connectivity, two of them - the SBX 20 and SBX 10 - support Bluetooth wireless technology for audio playback and voice functions. The most affordable (as well as the smallest in size) of the bunch is the SBX 8. It omits a few features found on its more expensive brethren, such as the dual-mic array (it uses a single directional mic instead), Bluetooth connectivity, and support for the new Creative Central app.
Earlier today, we were invited to Creative Resource, Creative's HQ in Singapore, to witness exactly what the Sound BlasterAxx series of speakers is capable of. Considering the abundance of speakerphones and mobile device-oriented speaker systems out in the market right now, would the Sound BlasterAxx turn out to be a revelation or a dud? Our interest was also piqued by Creative's claim of a special circuitry that enables 'big sound' and 'thumping bass' from a very small USB current draw. Is there any truth in it, or is it just some overzealous marketing speak?
With further ado, here's what you need to know about Creative's latest invention.
