Creative Omni Sound Blaster Surround 5.1
In addition to the new line Aurvana headphones, Creative has also led to Berlin three new sound cards which have always been the main product of the brand in Singapore. The most important of the three is the Omni Sound Blaster Surround 5.1, an external USB sound card of limited size that doubles both as a primary audio source for listening by headphone and as a microphone for hands free audio communications. The addressed card is justified by the presence of a 600ohm headphone amplifier, enough to drive even the most difficult models such as high end headphones or studio monitoring. To facilitate control of the volume there is a red roll that is imposed on the right side of the body of the card.
