EAX ADVANCED HD
EAX ADVANCED HD brings a new level of performance, power, and flexibility to PC audio. The all-new EAX ADVANCED HD Game
Audio Library takes in-game audio and acoustic simulation to a whole new level.These innovative technologies bring tremendous
realism and total audio immersion to PC gaming:
New Multi-Environment
T M
technology renders multiple environment audio effects in real time.
Environment Panning
T M
makes it easy for gamers to track, with three-dimensional precision, the location and movement of sounds
that usually represent enemies or team mates. This gives Audigy 2 ZS gamers a better advantage as they are more "attuned" to the
game scenario.
Environment Reflections
T M
offers localization of early reflections and echoes.
Environment Filtering
T M
accurately simulates the propagation of sound in both open and closed environments.
Environment Morphing
T M
allows for seamless transition from one environment to the next.

such as Audio Clean-Up, Time Scaling and EAX ADVANCED HD audio effects.
Audio Clean-Up
enables the removal of unwanted noise in a digital audio file.
Time Scaling
speeds up and slows down music with no distortion.
EAX ADVANCED HD
audio effects, developed especially for music listening, further enhance playback of songs.
