Top 5 Cool Things To Do
With The Revolution 7.1
The Revolution 7.1 offers phenomenal high-definition sound and provides to up
eight channels of professional-quality audioall for less than $100. But so what?
It’s what your readers can do with the product that matters. Here are some examples
you can share with your publication’s audience.
Games: You’ve never heard games sound like this before! Surround your PC with
up to seven speakers and a subwoofer for a totally awesome gaming experience.
Games enabled with Sensaura simply sound amazing. And M-Audio hasn’t forgot-
ten about the thousands of games encoded with two-channel stereo. They’ll sound
better than ever, thanks to Revolution 7.1’s Circle Surround II technology.
Virtual DVD hardware player: Turn any DVD-equipped Mac or PC into an awe-
some-sounding hardware DVD player.
Digital recording: Convert those old vinyl record albums to professional-quality
high-definition digital audio. With The Revolution 7.1 and a user’s favorite digital
recording software, those precious old albums can be preserved in glorious 24-
bit/96kHz fidelity.
Home theater: The Revolution 7.1’s higher 24-bit/192kHz fidelity and 107 dB dy-
namic range greatly improve the listening experience of computer-based playback
of CDs, MP3s and Internet radio. The Revolution 7.1 elevates computer-based
audio to the level where the computer can play a viable roll as an audio source in a
sophisticated home entertainment system. Internet radio, for example, can be real-
ized in sufficiently high fidelity to warrant connecting the computer to the home
entertainment system. And with new high-definition TV tuner cards and high-
quality DVD playback, the PC is more capable than ever of replacing a stack of
home theater components. The best quality surround sound is key.
Presentations: Make business presentations memorable by enveloping an audience
with seven channels of high-definition surround sound and a seat-rattling sub-
woofer. PowerPoint never had it so good.
We know of no other audio card that offers support
for 7.1 surround, a coaxial digital connection with
AC3 and DTS support, high-definition 24-
bit/192kHz audio fidelity, and virtual surround
sound from only two speakers—let alone at a street
price of about $99.99.
