Cambridge SoundWorks Launch Green Hybrid Speaker System at CES 2011

Cambridge SoundWorks Unveils Groundbreaking Green Hybrid Speaker System Technology at Consumer Electronics Show - Cambridge SoundWorks, a wholly owned subsidiary of Creative Technology Ltd, today announced its green hybrid speaker system technology at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The technology, which allows a speaker system to run with unprecedented power efficiency, is being demonstrated in the Creative booth #20913 in the South Hall 1 of the Las Vegas Convention Center from January 6 - 9.

Featured in the elegantly designed Cambridge SoundWorks Hybrid 2.0 Speaker System, Cambridge Soundworks’ breakthrough green hybrid speaker system technology is so efficient that it allows speakers to run on USB power with a computer while delivering performance which was previously possible only with AC power, resulting in as much as a 10x increase in efficiency without compromising the rich, deep sound quality that has become a Cambridge SoundWorks trademark.

“We’re really excited about this technology and speaker system because they provide such a dramatic improvement upon power efficiency. We are ushering in the era of the green speaker with this groundbreaking announcement,” said Craig McHugh, president and COO of Creative Labs, Inc. “The Cambridge SoundWorks Hybrid 2.0 Speaker System requires only about ten percent of the power that would otherwise be required for the same level of ouput in a non-hybrid speaker system.”

The Cambridge SoundWorks green hybrid speakers feature a precision-tuned, two-way speaker design with dedicated tweeters for sharp, detailed highs and robust midrange drivers for richer, fuller sound. The speakers include a BasXPort™ for enhanced bass and excellent low frequency response without the need for a subwoofer.

Further enhancing the outstanding performance of the Cambridge SoundWorks 2.0 speaker system featuring the green hybrid speaker system is THX TruStudio Pro, Creative’s extensive suite of audio enhancements. THX TruStudio Pro is specially designed to bring the same great audio experience found in live performances, films, and recording studios to the PC. THX TruStudio Pro provides groundbreaking technologies that are the product of years of collective experience and research by Creative and THX. 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 Surround
THX TruStudio Pro Surround provides immersion control to enhance the natural sense of audio depth and spaciousness by creating virtual surround sound channels. Stereo content or multi-channel content played over stereo speakers and headphones will sound as if it’s coming from all sides while voices remain centered in front and original balance and timbre is preserved.

THX TruStudio Pro Crystalizer
THX TruStudio Pro Crystalizer restores the natural dynamic range that is lost when iTunes and MP3 music gets compressed. This makes the music sounds as good as the artist originally intended, and adds an enhanced level of realism for movies and games.

THX TruStudio Pro Speaker
THX TruStudio Pro Speaker fills in the missing low frequency tones and gives the extra impact for a better entertainment experience. Consumers no longer have to tolerate lack of bass in speakers built into notebook PCs, 2.0 speakers or headphones, as THX TruStudio PC Speaker technology dramatically improves the sound experience without a subwoofer.

THX TruStudio Pro Dialog Plus
THX TruStudio Pro Dialog Plus enhances the voices in movies for clearer dialog, allowing the listener to hear the dialog over the rest of the soundtrack and over ambient noise in the listening environment.

THX TruStudio Pro Smart Volume
THX TruStudio Pro Smart Volume addresses the problem of abrupt volume level changes during playback and between songs by automatically and continuously measuring volume, and intelligently applying gain and attenuation to compensate for those changes.
