For gamers, Scout Mode is an indispensable feature!AdaptabilityNew and improved sound Blaster Command software for further audio adjustments, with fast on and off switch for activating or deactivating sound processing effects.Hardware-accelerated audioAdding the AE-7 to your PC equipment basically means only one thing: You get an additional, dedicated quad-core processor, which was developed only for one goal - to deliver unbelievably pure, improved sound on the PC without overloading your CPU. The sound Blaster takes over the sound processing on the card itself and keeps your CPU free for other tasks.Clear and clear sound qualityImproved sound will only sound as good as the components that produce it, and in the AE-7 we have made no compromises in this respect. The AE-7 features the ESS SABER Class DAC 9018 for an incredibly pure 127 dB DNR audio stream with up to 32 bit / 384 kHz PCM and DSD64 playback. If they demand pure sound, the AE-7 will even exceed your expectations.Individual, discrete Xamp dual amplification headphonesAudiophile and cinema-fit components also deserve an audiophile headphone amplifier. The AE-7 has our own Xamp dual amplifier, in which each earpiece receives its own power from the first stage to the last stage of amplification. The audible end result is a silky smooth sound, no matter how dynamic or demanding the current sound scene may be. For pro-audio users, who seek music in their original form and appreciate music as much as it should be, the discrete Xamp dual headphone amplifier meets even the most demanding audiophile needs. Additional feature is an extremely low output impedance of the headphone of 1 Ω, which can drive studio headphones up to 600 Ω including high-quality planar-magnetic headphones.Discreet and virtual surround sound in cinema qualityRegardless of whether you output via headphones or speakers, the AE-7 is able to evaluate stereo or multi-stream sources and convert them into immersive cinema sound. It supports discrete 5.1 on speakers and virtual surround sound up to 7.1 on speakers and headphones. You can even easily switch between headphones and speakers, depending on whether you need loud bass or discreetly listen to them via headphones. It also includes Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect encoding for even more deployment options for external audio devices.Incredible processing powerAnd that's not all. sound Blaster has been active in the field of sound processing for 30 years: The sound Blaster AE-7 is delivered with all the sound improvements of sound Blaster, including surround sound for an unbelievable middle-of-the-action feeling, Crystalizer, which improves the dynamic range of the sound, or Bass, which offers more power in the low frequency range, while the CrystalVoice technology emphasizes the voice for clear recordings and the communication in the game.Take full control of your audio setupYour feedback has helped us improve the sound Blaster Command software suite, which we have just developed, based on feedback from users and the community. It is now easier than ever to quickly adjust the sound to your specific needs. Do you want pure sound without effects or editing while listening to music? Or do you prefer to immerse yourself in the sound world to the limits by using the sound expansion effects of Sound Core3D while playing? The ability to store and access multiple profiles efficiently extends your ability to switch between music, games, or movies.Audio control moduleTake over the simple control with the Audio Control module, including in-built array microphone as well as 3.5 mm and 6.3 mm connections for the input and output connections of microphones and headphones. You can adjust the volume comfortably with the rotary knob on the audio control module - everything in no time at all.
