Want to get inside your game? Don't settle for just 3D audio and EAX, let Seismic Edge transform your game into an interactive theater experience by adding even more additional rich layers of 5.1 surround sound. How about all those cool movie-like cut scenes, and popular stereo games? While other sound cards simply duplicate all sounds not positioned by the game's programmers in both front and rear speakers, only the Seismic Edge brings the game to life by analyzing each sound and individually positioning them across six distinct speaker channels. How about some 5.1 channel music between games? Philips Seismic Edge grabs you out of the audience and puts you center stage, enveloped in sound from every direction. While other sound cards simply play the same two channels of music in both front and rear speakers, Seismic Edge immerses you in 5.1 distinctly different channels of sound. Not ready to invest in four or 5.1 channel surround speakers just yet? Seismic Edge expands music, games even DVDs to 3 dimensions even with ordinary stereo speakers. The power behind Seismic Edge is in the Philips ThunderBird Avenger audio accelerator. This powerful DSP (Digital Signal Processor) can process up to 256 distinct sounds simultaneously with minimal consumption of your computer's power. This "extreme" hardware accelerator assures ultra high-fidelity audio while freeing your computer to concentrate its power on better graphics and game speed. With up to 96 available concurrent 3D streams, and with EAX 2.0 and A3D 1.0 game compatibility, Seismic Edge delivers the most powerful audio force for your PC available today. For the most intense game experience possible, turn your games into a true home theater experience with the Philips Seismic Edge!
