Meeting the needs of users from the music lover to the surround sound gamer and home movie enthusiast, these new 2.1 and 5.1 MegaWorks speakers continue to set the pace.

With up to 300 Watts of burst power, an exceptional 99dB signal-to-noise ratio, and high-precision 24-bit/96kHz DACs, this system gives an outstanding response and ultra-real audio delivery with any content. The ported wood subwoofer has a heavy-duty, long-throw, 8-inch driver that adds subsonic impact to music, while the magnetically-shielded satellite speakers, which are wall-mountable, have precision 3.5-inch drivers and extremely high-strength rare-earth magnets to ensure ultra-smooth hi-fi playback without monitor image disturbance. Dual analogue and S/PDIF digital inputs support connection to multiple audio sources, while a multifunctional wired remote adds the final touch of comfort and convenience.

The MegaWorks THX 5.1 550 speaker system offers a high-end, multi-channel Dolby Digital experience when connected to a 5.1 sound card. Designed to put users at the heart of the action, it delivers ultimate 5.1 surround sound in movies and games and features 6-channel BASH® amplification that pumps out up to 500 Watts of burst power for a truly immersive experience with games, DVD movies and other multimedia content. The five wall-mountable, capsule-shielded and tuned satellite speakers have precision 3.5-inch drivers and rare earth magnets for an ultra-smooth frequency response, while the wood subwoofer has dual flared ports and a heavy-duty, 8-inch, long-throw driver to deliver the low frequency effects required for 5.1 impact. The multifunctional wired remote control manages master, centre, rear, treble, and subwoofer levels and also features a headphone output for private listening. When connected to a Sound Blaster 5.1 sound card, it gives astounding results with Dolby Digital, EAX® and Microsoft® DirectSound® 3D supported games.

"These are two exceptional systems for users in search of a secure investment in quality and performance," comments Michael Sullivan, General Manager, Creative Labs Europe and President of Cambridge SoundWorks. "We are particularly proud of the fact that their performance, design and build quality have earned them THX certification," he adds.

"This important endorsement confirms that these systems meet highly rigorous multimedia performance and build quality standards for power handling, frequency response and dispersion characteristics, among other aspects. For users who want maximum reassurance of performance and reliability for years to come, THX approval plus the MegaWorks tradition of excellence really deliver."

"We are very excited about Creative's new MegaWorks series of speaker systems, having had the opportunity to help ensure that they deliver top notch performance. We worked closely with Creative on the design of the new MegaWorks series, and the results can be clearly heard. We are delighted to be able to award the THX seal of approval to these excellent new multimedia speaker systems," said Ann Brighouse, Director of Marketing, THX Ltd.
