High shock - creative GigaWorks S750 Assessment + Creative Decoder DDTS-100 - Wind ...

Creative GigaWorks S750 is a famous old-media innovation and technology manufacturers recently introduced a high-end 8 (7. .1) Channel speaker, Gigaworks is the most innovative high-end of a speaker series, from 97 years of innovation and the acquisition by the famous Cambridge SoundWorks audio laboratory design, S750 is currently the highest model in the series, was the world's first THX-certified 7. .1-Channel multimedia speaker system. .


We first provide important indicators: S750.


1. . Wide frequency response: 25Hz ~ 40kHz. .


(Surprised? but don't come from Cambridge SoundWorks laboratory driver out).


2. . SNR: 99dB. .


(For speaker, is there anything more annoying than the noise floor?, S750 as much as possible to do better, please do not attempt to go to the bottom of the s75 0 noise, it is useless).


3. . Surround Speaker maximum output: per channel 70W (7-channel, 70x7). .


(Fear such a high-power? you should fear, so please do not habitually carried volume adjustment to the maximum).


4. . Surround sound speaker unit diameter: 3-inch midrange driver, 1-inch tweeter. .


(Normal? s, the band's convergence S750 very excellent).


5. . Subwoofer maximum output power: 210W. .


(Exaggerated? no exaggeration, especially when you lament the window glass vulnerable).


6. . Subwoofer speaker unit Speaker Diameter: 8 inches. .


(Small decorations? not little, big may let people affected by internal injuries).


7. . Subwoofer Size: furlongs 315mm. .


(There is no association to party stool? Yes, really like a black stool, but would not be appropriate for adults ' table).


8. . Total weight: 28. .5 Kg. .


(Sinking? is a bit heavy, but if you give up because this point will be moved back home, S750 that unreasonable).


First see S750, S750 huge box to tell the author of the real thing, but to move to six-story is a very dark thing, too heavy. .


Open the package, you first see the wire and accessories box, various wire a lot, but it is not easy to get confused, various parts of the installation or at a glance.


In addition, under the mask, the satellites revealed good quality midrange unit and tweeter super titanium film (the biggest feature is the resolution of a very high), high-end multimedia speakers, the majority of the satellites are using a midrange driver and a tweeter, This will help improve the quality of high-frequency and high frequency link quality. .Satellite box, amazing is that such a small volume, in addition to build big 3-inch and 1 inch tenor and treble unit, there are well-designed, meticulous workmanship, accident frequency divider is actually filled in with a certain amount of versamat, see here, we have a satellite box S750 does not have any doubts about the ability of their confidence.


Subwoofer with a fixed 4 feet nails, beneficial to the flexibility and dive frequency and greatly facilitate the users display, 8-inch long-throw woofer, combined with a thick sheet box, providing surging low frequency. . The system amplifier section is located above the subwoofer, power amplifier section of the BASH amplifier chip using INDIGO, BASH amplifier technology is a complete circuit design, characterized by high amplification efficiency, dynamic large, control is good, better than restore fidelity Class AB amplifier. .


Power amplifier section also includes a PDC (Primary Digital Control) main digital control circuit design system. This set of techniques to analyze the audio signal and send out digital data stream to control the power supply according to the needs of output voltage stability. This makes the output sound to continuously and without distortion of the conditions of access to adequate, high efficiency, heat is very small. But still has a huge S750 heatsink protected with extreme cases of system security.


When you really open to them one by one when ordered you will find a place for them is a headache to do. Eight speakers, not only to play well to their sound, but also very good and their environment together, rather test your abilities. .


Audio Control Pod audio line control console, not only can we use, and you can add multiple audio devices.


Remote control, lazy gospel. Think of the sofa at home, enjoy how Hollywood is a pleasant thing. .


We believe that innovation is not just a set of S750 perfect multimedia speaker, it is a suite of localization home theater AV system, therefore, we use in testing the SONY DVD players and Creative Audigy 2 ZS Edition respectively on the S750 and found that no matter what the circumstances, its surprisingly perfect performance. Here we are with Audigy 2 ZS sound card as an example provides: in Windows XP sp1 operating system after you have installed the sound card, we A2zs first entered the speaker settings interface:.


Select 7. .1 Speaker mode, the speaker appears on the right test interface, we follow the speaker icon to display, and then connected wires, the satellites of the wire is better then just take the line need to take a corner, this is a very long wire supporting innovation reason (3 3 m long connection in the home and the front speakers, two 5 m long connection side of the center speaker, two 7-meter connected to the rear speakers). .


S750 accompanying the signal cable is connected to Audigy series sound card specifically (if connected to the other sound card or .1 7. DVD necessary to prepare the signal line), open the Control Panel, set the THX wire connected in accordance with the diagram. connecting an audio line control console, plug in the power cord, turn on the power switch, you can enjoy the beautiful music. innovation is equipped with an English-style power plug and a general power to adapt to the different areas of the user.


The volume and balance adjustment system there are two ways in surround sound mixer to control:. .


Another way is through the remote control (through the audio console control system). Audio Console with a M-PORT used and other innovative products that have a connection, headphone output holes, the actual use of results make us happy, push with such low resistance dt231 headset is very good, when you use the headphones output with speaker does not speak more surprise .... is the audio console has an audio input port, the computer shuts down with Walkman feeder S750 can also enjoy the charming music. If the input sources is 5. .1 or 6. 1-channel mode can be used in the audio console on the remote control to select UPMIX will be 5. .1 / 6. .1-Channel audio on the hybrid 7. .1-Channel audio, this feature is useful, after all, most of the existing DVD audio or 5. .1 Channel. .


Everything is ready to begin listening. For a set of 7. .1 speakers, our first thought is that the movie, use the author loved Sonic CinePlayer DVD player for playback:.


The audio output set to Dolby Surround:. .


Placed in a disk read n times of the besieged ", a title of crossing the River battle, the German aircraft flew from ear shot, followed screamed behind someone screaming that positioning effects quite accurate, and never lose to I have heard of 2 sets of high-end home theater, you can import, S750 + Audigy 2 this combination effect of film is very difficult to forget.


In the German planes bombed buildings, the endless drone of aircraft, explosions one after another, due to scruples low too fast, we just started less than the volume set, this time we have a little increase the volume and frequency, was found 30 square meters room simply can not afford such a big impact, even if the volume is only open to 70%, mixing panel subwoofer volume set at 50%, every time a bomb exploded, the entire room to shake things are jitter, windows Huang, Ji Yu broken glass, then if we dare to raise the volume, then it is "piece of the glass, rustling, the Unit for low frequency roll to."When used in the low-frequency reduced gradually to increase is necessary, or if there is a resonance can only cause damage themselves well.


We also looked for the film to examine the S750 sounds of the environment, this film is that the author collection has long been the "Ashes of Time", the film Zhang Guorong monologue is very obsessed with the author. Benefit from the satellites of solid materials, the human voice coming from all directions are so full of magnetism and intensity that we've heard a lot of relative multi-channel multimedia speaker with quality upgrading, high-quality 3-inch midrange driver enormous contribution to the IF, see romance and slice of life is, S750 same outstanding performance. .


As a multimedia industry's leading, innovative products in the game performance is to overlook a major bright spot. As a result of any of the sources are in play Audigy2zs could do 7. .1 channel output, the player can feel very good positioning effects, if the game supports EAX sound effects, then the effect is a higher level. In view of the author's experience in the game, invite a friend, his passion for the game to install various types of game play for a pass, but the S750 Sime, busy and out of a word: this box I don't also! author Papier, quickly affirm that the box is required to return the sample.


The games have tried NSF3, NSF7, Tomb Raider, Halo, CS, FIFA2004, Colin McCaw Cabrera force 04 so. .


One play, one listen, I feel this system in the game's positioning capability seems to be much stronger than the positioning of the film, perhaps the game itself is in the algorithm performance effectiveness competencies, after all, the film is only a few fixed audio stream. In racing and shooting games, this effect is relatively more prominent, play with, followed by car far from their own is not distracting to see reflector, others from the left side or from behind, overtaking, can distinguish very clearly. Loaded sound seems to come across a wall mass of the enemy footsteps of sense of direction and the light weight allows you to easily know when is the best moment to attack. .


For end-users, perhaps more often while surfing the Internet while listening point melodious melody, we take a look at the DVD Audio S750 on playback capabilities, use the DVD Audio broadcast A2zs software to play the DVD that came with your sound card creative Audio on yindie. 24bit96khz of DVD Audio audio signal is more test equipment, and general multimedia speaker difficult to demonstrate its advantages, however A2zs + S750 combinations, people enjoyed the re-regulate the subwoofer's volume to suit the playing music, we have immersed in this beautiful music, moderately low-frequency slowly spread from the subwoofer to, dive and intensity just right, distinct. Excellent quality satellite speakers when listening to music played a significant role, IF thick seasoned, full of flavor, the first few songs in the show as we stood in front of the red lips slowly Road to launch the Iraq.And General multi-channel multimedia speaker system is the biggest difference is the high-frequency S750, S750 we adjust the band after a very balanced, very natural, high-frequency of convergence is not suppressed, but some bright, passionate, and that is extremely resistant to listen to the sweet. Designed specifically for multichannel Audio recording of the DVD system to record the performance of the S750 people have ears, no similar earphones that header effect, performers and singers of the position, play upcoming universal DVD Audio is long, S750 beyond a reasonable doubt.


We use various cd foobar play music, A2zs to expand into a multi-channel stereo, this effect might sound very different, but used, we found that the voice was familiar, think carefully under that and listen to this effect Headphones seem similar, but more pleasing to the ears than some of headphones. We consider this to be expanded sound more controversial, like, people will be like, not like people will not like. .


Here we use the sound card connected to tank sky Edition S750 play stereo music, S750 to 2. .1 mode, adjust the subwoofer volume again, we find that if you do not let the subwoofer, two satellite box sound equally excellent, pure nature, in fact the author likes, at night listening to a high and low frequency and high frequency of the system is a kind of enjoyment. After adjusting the sound balance, we find S750 stereo replay capability is diminished, we believe that its performance remains the most multimedia speaker makes.


Listening end, we agreed that, Creative GigaWorks S750 it is a very comprehensive and excellent multimedia speakers. 7. .1 Channel is the biggest advantage of course, its multi-channel audio is really the highest standards of today, both enjoy the experience of the latest DVD movies or games, S750's performance make people relaxed and happy. DVD Audio and DTS CD on such multi-channel music playback capability is also an excellent choice on, and on the stereo music playback ability is in place.However, the good stuff is always a precious, S750 official prices are still relatively high, economic plenty of friends can immediately have and enjoy, less affluent friends can wait for the price change, after all, such a forward-looking S750 high-end speaker lifecycle is very long. In addition, S750 harder and adjust the display, and the best and Audigy series sound card support, however, we recommend that users pay enough energy to display and adjust, and choose the Audigy series sound card, because it would be best to real return S750.


Creative GigaWorks S750 the current market price of 5,480 yuan, but the innovation and another set of only five satellite units S700 optional price of 4480 yuan, in addition to two small satellite units outside, and S750 completely consistent, so, after buying, after S700, We can also upgrade the satellites to purchase 2 of 7. .1 Channel. .


Innovation DDTS-100 Decoder.


Preface:. .


Innovation in China shortly before the finally published by THX-certified flagship multichannel audio systems — GIGAWORK S750, although its pricing up to RMB 5480, but many players still get her back home. While this part of the players also complain because as you enjoy the DVD movie is the second partner of S750 CREATIVE Decoder DDTS-100 due to various reasons have also been listed in China.


Remember YORK hardware last year on Dec. 19 on the published [players must have innovative decoding amplifier DDTS-100], one year later on December 15, DDTS-100 finally in the domestic market. In innovative DTT 3500 and Inspire 5700 in both the external standard decoder, which also carried DTS decoder 5700.As innovation first separate sale of decoders, Creative Decoder DDTS-100 compared to its predecessors, some what different and equally able to decode DTS ES Audigy2 ZS compared to what advantages? I will in this article for you to make the answers to these questions.


Creative Decoder DDTS-100 device part Xiangjie. .


Decoder DDTS-100 packaging production with creative's paper, and packaging clearly marked on the Dolby Digital EX, DTS-E support.


5700 matching decoder. .


Decoder DDTS-100 above two pictures are 5700 matching decoder and Decoder DDTS-100, one can see both the appearance and style of the decoder. 5700 decoder to tie big thereby Inspire 5700 design more sleek but more hard line Decoder DDTS-100 lang, panel more fashion, S750 placed in the living room also does not appear to be small. Decoder DDTS-100 is only one non-polar knob, all other uses of the digital button design. Keys of the failure probability is relatively much smaller, so 5700 compared to the four knobs, this design much better. .


The decoder on the Panel again see Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES words power button very metal quality feel, here is the source of the indicator lamp input.


Decoder DDTS-100 decoder status display CREATIVE Decoder DDTS-100 can support Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS-ES, DTS NEO: 6-rich format, when it is one of the model with this work , the corresponding light will turn on. We listen to MP3, CD when you can open the DTS NEO: 6, the mixture to 6. .1 Enjoy multi-channel music. .


Decoder DDTS-100 volume control and S750 console, the Decoder also used 7 cell DDTS-100 LED lights for the volume shows that we can Select for the middle of the rear, center, rear center sub, the switch between channels, elected to one of these channels, the appropriate State upset will light up, then you can use the control knob to adjust the volume of the sound channel. On the left are two sets of headphones output, it may be considered a couple headphones movies..


Behind the rich interface. .


Analog input.


Left is a digital coaxial input and three optical input, the right for the analog output. .


Horn of the choice of Creative Decoder DDTS-100 behind rich interface types, including: 3 channel fiber input, 1-channel coaxial cable to the input, analog stereo in 3 groups.


I think a converter box DDTS-100 is the most out of place color above the converter box, because the use of the decoder, the digital signal by the sound card into the decoder, then output through the decoder after, EAX3. .0, Games and audio would be empty of. Also produced before the landscape design of a decoder for the computer, model 6100HD, it only comes standard with a 4-channel analog input. Abandoned for decoder card, innovation certainly do not want to see this happen. .





Through this conversion box select, we can choose to have the sound play directly from the sound of voices, or sound decoder after processing. Game film and considerations of human-centered design.


CREATIVE Decoder DDTS-100 comes standard with remote control, the top half of the volume control part, second part is divided into input and output and the decoding control part, and the S750's remote is very similar. .


CREATIVE Decoder DDTS-100 audition experience.


DDTS-100 relative to the older generation is the biggest evolution is the support of the DTS-ES, and DTS-ES there DTS Discrete 6. .1, DTS-ES Matrix 6. .1 Two. .


DTS Discrete 6. .1, the decoder will be a core part of DTS signal and the extension as a whole into account, the use of arithmetic subtraction can be recovered out of the surround left/right, around the home (also known as back around in reset) directly, so the decoder can produce a completely separate 6. .1 sound field. The Matrix 6 .1 DTS-ES. consider the signal when the core part of the extension is ignored, because DTS ES matrix of patent processing module, still produces 6. .1 "extended surround sound field." It can be seen, ES of the two decoding methods is different. .


Simply put, DTS Discrete 6. .1 the rear channel is a stand-alone recording, DTS-ES Matrix 6. .1 of a rear surround sound mixing, so in today's audition, we select the pick two technologies of a DVD movie and a full stall DTS DVD movie to audition. Because many of my friends want to know how to decode DTS ES audigy2 ZS and DD EX6. .1 and differences in how many decoder, select it in the course of this trial and comparative DDTS-100..


DTS-ES Matrix 6. .1 And Dolby Digital EX decoding Lyrics [T2]. .


As the representatives of Matrix DTS-ES auditions alone [T2] may be justified.


T800 from the future sent back, Decoder DDTS-100 is produced by the electric field out of the tight-knit strong, sound good together in the emperor, the current staggered around before and after the transfer of sound. The Audigy2 ZS out of DTS decoding would obviously much worse, very loose, the transition is very stiff, I feel the current acoustic and in a few easy switching between speakers, not the kind of people the feeling of exposure to electric field. .


And the following paragraph is to compare the classical auditions for the fragment, T800 riding Prince motor rifle adheres to open doors to interrupt, sound to reset after rapidly spread to the left and right channels, and rapid shift to the left and the left and right side, and then finally back from the gate behind you turn off the sound.


Against iron shot. .


It adheres to the fracture.


Iron gate shut behind him in the Audigy2 ZS and DDTS 100 of the audition, the gap between the most significant increase. Decoder DDTS-100 把 the consistent performance of actions coherent with the sound out, but the sound is very true, you can shut our eyes and feel the sound obvious shift. Audigy2 ZS is the before, during and after the account of the position out of shape but not to God. .


Because T2: EE Edition of Dolby Digital EX after a THX certified, we also use DD EX DDTS-100 decode this fragment above has been completed also audition, DDTS-100 quite well, and the clarity and positioning is more than the DTS also seem to be better, but maybe it was psychological hint will play (THX certification). In addition, because T2 has Dolby Headphone mode, so I will be received in DDTS-100 AKG K66 headphones output on audition, there seems to be some annoying found at the bottom of the noise.


The beginning of the first Lord of the Rings, Sauron appears, continue to beat the crowd. DDTS-100 decoder out of the DTS Discrete 6. .1 Excellent, can be very significant hit in flying people around to hear you spin, call. .


Feilong salute section, whistling blowing, fly-back suddenly disappeared, and determination.


All files DTS compatibility testing [the fifth element]. .


Now follow the amount of data DTS, there are two kinds of Fuga, a full stall 1536k/bps, a half stalls 768k/bps. DTS 1536k/bps the highest frequency response for DTS768kbps 24kHz, the highest frequency response for 19kHz, so obviously DTS 1536k/bps are high-frequency low-frequency attenuation at least the closest to the original sound. However, some decoders decode DTS 1536k/bps Quedui compatibility issues, such as not decoding, we use the whole file here, DTS version of the [fifth element] to trial. .


We hear the primary solution for controlling the speed to avoid police arrest a paragraph DDTS-100 does not appear any compatibility issues.


Written in the final. .


。.


CREATIVE Decoder DDTS-100 and Gigawork S750 with a very good job, if you want to enjoy the large computer friend, will be an excellent choice. Of course, you can also connect with the DDTS-100 PS2, XBOX and other game device, to be able to use multi-channel sound system. However, the 1480 yuan is a big investment, before or would like a good buy if you really need. .
