Creative Releases the Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus Gaming Sound Card

PC components Apr 16,2020 0

Creative Technology has boosted its PC gaming audio range with the release of Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus, an improved version of the original Sound BlasterX AE-5 with more surround sound enhancements.

Backed up with Sound Blaster’s audio processing technology such as the Xamp discrete headphone bi-amplifier, and powered by a 122 dB 32-bit / 384 kHz ESS SABRE32 Ultra-class DAC, the Sound BlasterX AE-5 was the also world’s first sound card with an integrated RGB controller.

In Xamp discrete headphone bi-amp, each audio channel is individually amplified.
The card also features an ultra-low 1Ω headphone output impedance that can drive studio-grade headphones of up to 600Ω, including high-end planar-magnetic headphones. The Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus delivers 122 dB DNR audio stream at up to 32-bit / 384 kHz playback with ultra-low distortion and jitter.

Now, with support for Dolby Digital Live and Connect encoding, Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus provides more delivery options to external audio devices. On top of support for Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect Encoding, the Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus also features discrete 5.1 on speakers, and up to 7.1 virtual surround on both speakers and headphones.

Together with the existing AE-5, it has also been updated with the latest Sound Blaster Command software, which features a user-friendly interface.

Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus is priced at USD149.99.
