PC users, today announced immediate availability of the Creative Inspire® T7700, a value
priced 7.1 speaker system that compliments the Sound Blaster® Audigy® 2 ZS sound card.
Building on the value and performance of the Inspire line, the Creative Inspire T7700
speakers incorporate a two-way speaker design in the three front speakers and are priced
at only US$149.99. This same unique two-way design will be incorporated in two other

Inspire® T2900. The Creative Inspire T7700 is designed to deliver stunningly accurate discrete 7.1 positional audio when paired with the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS, but can also be used with any 5.1 or 6.1 sound card for an enveloping audio experience. A tweeter and mid range driver in the system's three front speakers work in harmony to create rich tonal balance between highs and mids, ensuring accurate, crystal clear audio quality. The side satellite speakers offer smoother pans and pinpoint accuracy from the latest EAX® or Microsoft® DirectSound® 3D games that is unavailable in 5.1 solutions. In addition to the seven speaker satellites, the Creative Inspire T7700 speaker system includes a high-quality reinforced wood subwoofer with a 6.5" long-throw driver and a dual flared port tube for deep, clean bass from PC games and DVD movies. Delivering 92 watts RMS power and 125 watts of total system power, the new Creative Inspire T7700 speaker system is equipped with Creative Multi-Speaker System (CMSS®) technology, an innovative EAX multi-channel up-mixing functionality for an enveloping surround environment. CMSS dramatically enhances the playback of 5.1 or 6.1 audio soundtracks and music files across the full 7.1 speaker configuration. The feature-rich Audio Control Pod included with the Creative Inspire T7700 speaker system integrates an M-PORT(TM) connection for streaming music with compatible Creative audio players such as the Creative NOMAD® MuVo® NX. The remote also features a line-in, headphone jack, power on/off and convenient volume/bass controls. The Creative Inspire T7700 speaker system also includes removable metal stands to enable wall mounting of satellite speakers or placement on a desktop. Creative Inspire T5400 Perfect for gaming and music listening, and priced at only US$99.99, the Creative Inspire T5400 comes packed with 74 watts RMS power and 115 watts of system power, includes five satellite speakers and a reinforced wooden subwoofer.

With Creative's proprietary CMSS upmix technology, users can experience realistic 5.1 surround sound from movies, games and music. The included wired remote includes controls for volume and bass and a headphone jack. Creative Inspire T2900 For exceptional music and MP3 listening at a great price, the Creative Inspire T2900 borrows technology and performance from the new Creative Inspire 5.1 and 7.1 speaker systems yet is priced at only US$59.99.
