Creative Announces New Inspire T3300 and T6300 Desktop Speakers

[btarunr]

Creative Technology Ltd today announced the Creative Inspire T3300 and the Creative Inspire T6300 speaker systems that are built for superior audio performance. These two latest additions to the Creative Inspire line of multi-channel speaker systems stay true to Creative's long held audio heritage of providing the best possible sound quality at great value. New innovative design techniques and enhanced design features enable these high performance speakers to deliver superb audio quality at very high decibels, yet with minimal distortion. They are Creative Inspire line's 'loudest' speakers yet, capable of delivering full spectrum audio playback with impressive loudness and robust bass.

Competitively priced at S$69 and S$109, the Creative Inspire T3300 and Creative Inspire T6300 speaker systems offer excellent value for speakers in their respective classes. The three-piece Creative Inspire T3300 speaker system is an ideal choice for music listening, gaming or for watching movies with the PC, notebook and smart mobile device, while the Creative Inspire T6300 speaker system is specially designed to deliver an immersive gaming and movie entertainment experience on the PC and notebook with its consistent high-quality 5.1 surround sound performance.



The superb audio performance of the Creative Inspire T3300 and Creative Inspire T6300 speaker systems are achieved by a stringent and optimised component selection process, precision tuning, as well as new enhancements in Creative's innovative design methodology that features a new improved Creative Image Focusing Plate (IFP) and the Creative Dual Slot Enclosure (DSE) within the compactly-designed satellite speakers.

The improved Creative Image Focusing Plate (IFP) allows the satellite speaker to provide an increased acoustic throw to the user's listening area, resulting in an even wider acoustic sweet spot compared to past IFP design. It also creates a 'gentle flare' around the driver, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the speaker without affecting tonal balance and accuracy of the audio source.

In designing a loudspeaker, a port tube is normally incorporated so as to lower its cutoff frequency and increase the speaker's maximum acoustic output, making it play lower and louder. The port tube also makes the loudspeaker more sensitive as it requires less amplifier power to achieve the same volume. In order to achieve the desired results effectively, the port tube also needs to be substantially long. This presents a design challenge when the overall size of the speaker has to be kept compact and aesthetically attractive. The Creative Dual Slot Enclosure (DSE) allows for a truly functional port tube to be fitted within a tight enclosure by encasing two overlapping slots in a compact enclosure. This improves frequency distribution for the entire system, delivering more bass and louder playback.

The last set of creative speakers I purchased did not last as long as they should have.

Yeah, Creative brand is junk. My Alpha headset is junk, and my T10 are ok... but weak in quality sound.

My next purchase is going to be a nice 5.1 setup.
