Get ready for ear-drum shattering sound, with MSI Audio Boost 2! With Audio Boost 2 MSI is delivering the high audio quality with the use of Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 2 so you can enjoy crystal clear sound and music through 8-channel HD audio.With traditional onboard audio the signal is distorted by electromagnetic signals from the rest of the PCB. Audio Boost 2 acts like a dedicated sound card by physically isolating the audio circuitry which is separated by a red LED path. Less interference gives you a more clear audio signal.Thanks to Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 2, you're getting amazing surround sound with just stereo headphones or speakers. Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 2 enables you to clearly hear specific sounds in gaming environments. Hear your enemies perfectly, make your ears a decisive tool to finish on top.
