Creative’s X-Fi audio processing technology
Creative Multi-Speaker Surround Virtual-
Heaphones improves your headphone experience.
Use it whenever the i525 is available and you would
normally listen to you iPod on headphones.
Select X-Fi SURROUND while headphones are
connected to the i525 to employ this powerful
digital algorithm designed specifically for
headphones. With Creative Multi-Speaker Surround
Virtual-Heaphones, music seems to float in front of
you, instead of being trapped “between” your ears.
This effect greatly enhances any audio program on
headphones.
Smart Volume Management is a sophisticated
audio engine that eliminates disruptive changes in
output from any audio program. It is useful anytime
that large volume changes are unwelcome.
a) Use it at night at a low volume when you
want to hear all the music but don’t want it
to get too loud.
b) Use it on radio to “harmonize” the output
of different stations, which otherwise may
have different overall sound levels.
c) Smart Volume Management is also
useful if you want to hear music in a noisy
environment. With SVM, you can set the
radio to a level loud enough to overcome the
background noise, secure in the knowledge
that your music will maintain this consistent
output level.
The CRYSTALIZER , SURROUND and SMART VOL audio
functions on the remote control can also be
combined. For instance, you can combine
Crystalizer and Smart Volume Management,
Surround with Smart Volume Management, or
combine all three. Select which processes you
want. Once you have made your choice, you can
use the X-Fi button on the remote control to
compare enhanced (combined X-Fi processing)
with the non-enhanced audio.
Using the X-Fi features of the i525
X-Fi technology on the i525 allows you to combine
four different audio enhancements, creating better
sound than possible “linear” audio circuitry. The
four different X-Fi enhancement choices are:
Crystalizer
Creative Multi-Speaker Surround Virtual -
Speakers ( SURROUND on remote control)
Creative Multi-Speaker Surround Virtual -
Headphones ( SURROUND on remote control,
when heaphones are connected)
Smart Volume Management ( SMART VOL on the
remote control)
Crystalizer restores the crisp treble and bass punch
erased by audio compressor processing employed
to create MP3, AAC, and other similar files from the
original, higher quality audio file. FM radio and any
compressed audio files sound more life-like when
Crystalizer is used.
Creative Multi-Speaker Surround Virtual analyzes
the audio signal and restores the sonic cues
inherent in the original material’s wide soundstage.
When X-Fi SURROUND is chosen on the i525,
music seems to fill the width of the room. The i525
disappears as the source of the sound.
