Tactic Link

The Recon3D is equipped with the Tactic Link expansion slot, allowing you to link directly to a Sound Blaster Tactic3D Omega Wireless headset and future Sound Blaster products with the Tactic Link transmitter card (included).

Scout Mode

Hear your enemies before they hear you. This proprietary technology allows you to hear your enemies from further away, giving you a distinct tactical advantage in combat. Think of it as "Bionic Hearing" for the modern gamer.

CrystalVoice Voice Enhancement

CrystalVoice voice enhancement and Clarity Technology is specially designed to deliver the best vocal fidelity, allowing you to express yourself and be heard crystal clear over VOIP and during video conferencing. CrystalVoice technology is a tool that every raid or squad leader wants to have at their disposal as every command can spell the difference between success and failure.

CrystalVoice Active Noise Reduction enables you to be heard clearly over background noise by constantly monitoring the environment and eliminating the unwanted noise that interferes with the conversation, while CrystalVoice Smart Volume automatically adjusts the loudness of the speaker's voice to maintain a consistent volume level. This makes it convenient for the speaker to converse normally, regardless of the distance from the microphone. And CrystalVoice Acoustic Echo Cancellation eliminates echoes and enables the speaker to listen to the other party clearly. Echoes are common problems present in voice communication systems that disrupt conversation, making it difficult to hear the other party.

Programmable Recon3DProfile Audio Setting

The Sound Blaster Tactic3D Control Panel allows gamers to customize every nuance of their audio experience simply by connecting to the PC or Mac. THX TruStudio Pro, CrystalVoice, Cinematic, Mixer and Equalizer options give freedom to gamers to tweak their audio profiles in every way they can imagine.

The Recon3DProfile can be saved directly to the Recon3D unit and can be used with any compatible platform. Designed with portability in mind, gamers can now hear their games the way they want to, anytime and anywhere.

Customize Your Experience with THX TruStudio Pro

The included THX TruStudio Pro software is specially designed to bring the same great audio experience found in the live performances, films, and recording studios--and now with Recon3D, to the console gaming platform. THX TruStudio Pro provides the latest groundbreaking technologies that are products of years of collective experience and research by Creative and THX, include Crystalizer, Dialog Plus, Smart Volume, and more. Together, these technologies deliver the fullest audio experience for music, movies and games, while remaining true to the source and intention of the artists who created it.

THX TruStudio Pro Crystalizer

THX TruStudio Pro Crystalizer enables game audio to be heard as the developers originally intended. Subtle details which are typically lost in the mix are now captured and enhanced, making a scene or moment go from good to magical. The clang and ringing of swords on armor, or even the hum of a BFG fragging enemies, make all the difference when creating amazing game audio. Crystalizer ensures that every last detail will be heard.

THX TruStudio Pro Surround

THX TruStudio Pro Surround goes beyond 5.1 or 7.1 audio and provides a customizable level of audio immersion. The algorithm adds depth and spatial information to standard stereo audio streams, and really comes into its own when it is fed 5.1 or 7.1 audio from a game. When this occurs, the algorithm takes the streams and stimulates hundreds of virtual speakers to create a seamless and incredibly realistic surround experience, far surpassing standard stereo headphones, headsets, or speakers.

THX TruStudio Pro Bass

THX TruStudio Pro Bass fills in the missing low frequency tones and gives the extra impact for a better entertainment experience. Gamers no longer have to tolerate a lack of bass in speakers built into notebook PCs, 2.0 speakers, or headphones: THX TruStudio Pro Bass technology dramatically improves the sound experience.

THX TruStudio Pro Dialog Plus

THX TruStudio Pro Dialog Plus enhances voices in games and movies for drastically clearer dialog. the vocal range is "lifted" out from the ambient and background soundtrack mix, allowing the listeners to hear dialog much more clearly.

THX TruStudio Pro Smart Volume

THX TruStudio Pro Smart Volume addresses the problem of abrupt volume changes during playback, and between sources, by continuously measuring volume and applying gain and attenuation to compensate for variances. The result is a consistent volume level despite source levels. This is particularly ideal when using VOIP programs, where users have wildly varying volume levels when communicating.
