For Sale Premium SOUND CREATIVE BLASTER AUDIGY 2-ZS for Notebook - At Home or On the Go
While laptop owners are starting to enjoy graphical power to match their desktop cousins, portable machines still tend to lag behind when it comes to audio. As the foremost name in PC audio, it’s no surprise therefore that Creative has stepped up to plug the gap in the market. While there are plenty of USB sound cards for laptops these don’t offer the convenience of the PC Card form factor and are held back by the limited bandwidth of USB. Enter the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook.
Featuring the same EMU10K2 audio processor as its PCI counterpart, the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook represents the portable sound card to be released with full hardware mixing, surround capabilities and EAX 4.0 Advanced HD – a great range of features for the price. With the sound card market so competitive, it’s in Creative’s interest to attract as many market segments as possible.
As such, the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook is designed to be a one-stop solution. You get Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES decoding, of up to 7.1 surround channels, a healthy signal to noise ratio that will have no trouble walking over an onboard sound chip, EAX support, hardware mixing to reduce the load on the CPU and high resolution DVD Audio. For gamers in particular, no other card offers this range of features, and it’s potentially a perfect companion for laptops that like to take their owners to LAN parties.
The card is supplied with a connecting cable featuring three female mini-jack connections; the same kind of connection to be found on the back of a conventional 5.1 capable consumer sound cards. On the card itself are two further mini-jack connections for headphones, and microphone or line inputs. These are multi-purpose and double up as optical digital connectors.
