Sound Blaster Live! Value ™ Environmental Audio for Gaming and Music Content ™ ADVANCED SOLUTIONS FOR SYSTEM INTEGRATORS AUDIO The heart of the Sound Blaster Live!™ Value is the EMU10K1™ audio processor chip, which is the most powerful integrated music, audio, and effects engine available. Every signal is processed at 32-bit, 48kHz using E-mu’s patented 8-point interpolation wavetable synthesis with much more powerful effects processing. Therefore, the result is a cleaner reproduction of the wave-table musical instruments at al degrees of pitch shifting. Sound Blaster Live! Value lets users experience depth and realism beyond existing 3D audio. It even provides preset environments such as Hall, Cave, or Underwater that can be supplied to your existing games and applications for incredibly true sound. Sound Blaster Live! Value supports Surround Sound audio on the PC with built-in support for two or four speakers. With S/PDIF output now accommodated in this latest design, users will be able to experience the compelling 3D audio on superior multiple speaker systems such as Creative’s FPS2000 Digital or DeskTop Theater™ 5.1 DTT2500 Digital. Multi-speaker output also allows users to position any audio devices such as CD Audio, WAV or MIDI anywhere Sound Blaster Live! Value Model #CT4832 • Environmental Audio experience generated by the powerful effects engine • Creative Multi-Speaker Surround™ (CMSS™) for upmixing ordinary stereo sources • Support multiple speakers to PC through LINE-OUT and REAR-OUT • Supports digital speakers such as Creative’s FourPointSurround FPS2000 Digital • Patented 8-point interpolation reduces noise/distortion to inaudible levels and produce music that is more complete and closer to actual sound within the speaker environment. Sound Blaster Live! Value is now capable of producing more than 1000 voices. This remarkable capability goes beyond the quality and performance available in most professional music equipment. With additional voices, Sound Blaster Live! Value delivers richer MIDI playback, simultaneous playback of more instrument notes and multi-layering of instruments to create better quality sound.
