Looking for who said what in the sound world? Well there is no better place to find every audio related press release than 3DsoundSurge.!

All-purpose sound module

Not only its design stands out-the technology of this external 7.1 sound system is also sure to find a lot of fans among hard-core gamers, musicians and home theater owners that want the full effect from their DVDs with impressive surround sound. Opening your computer's case and installing expansion cards is history: thanks to its new, lightning-fast FireWire technology, you can keep your screwdriver in the toolbox. It's easy: install the drivers, plug it in and go! Analog line and phono (with preamp) inputs and digital I/O (S/PDIF, optical) are available for connections to your other audio equipment. It even features a professional microphone input for vocalists (1/4" jack) with a gain control and peak LED.

If your domestic situation ever makes the full glory of 7.1 surround sound inadvisable, then simply tone things down by using the high-quality headphone connection with its separate volume control. Whether you're using speakers or headphones, the system's audio quality is always in a class of its own, with up to 24-bit/192-kHz signal processing. And that holds true for gamers, MP3 fans and musicians.

And the best thing about it: you can control the Aureon 7.1 FireWire's functions and those of all other common PC multimedia applications from the comfort of your sofa with the infrared remote control.
