Creative has presented an entirely new approach to portable wireless speakers in America for the first time at the Consumer Electronics and Photo Expo exhibition in New York. The Sound Blaster® Roar speaker has created a sensation among audio experts and consumers alike. No one expected to hear from a speaker the size of a book surprisingly powerful, finely tuned, high-quality sound.
Sound Blaster Roar can compete in sound quality with existing stereo systems in your home, but is small in size 57 x 202 x 115 mm and weight 1 kg . The portable speaker was designed from the ground up, but with Creative’s wealth of experience in audio technology and years of research into speaker design. Sound Blaster Roar represents the pinnacle of portable, wireless sound.
The Sound Blaster ROAR is completely changing the home and portable stereo market. It combines wireless connectivity, portability, high-quality and powerful sound, voice recorder, MP3 player, teleconferencing, and a rechargeable battery. It can fit in your hand and follow you wherever you go.
Advanced Features of Sound Blaster Roar:
1. Sound Blaster Roar features two amplifiers, unlike other portable speakers, for amazingly powerful and well-balanced bass, clear mids, and highs.
2. Treble dispersion in the far zone for balanced high-frequency playback. Active high-amplitude bass drivers direct mid- and low-frequency upward, while side radiators add even more bass to the sound.
3. The special design gives Sound Blaster Roar a low center of gravity for added stability. This means the device won’t move or rattle, even at high volume levels.
4. ROAR button: when you want powerful sound. For example, at parties and events, you can instantly increase the volume, depth, and surround sound by pressing the ROAR button.
5. Built-in omnidirectional microphone provides quality voice pickup and is ideal for teleconferencing.
6. Built-in MP3/WMA player with MicroSD card. Play your music directly from your MicroSD card without having to connect to a user’s smart device.
7. The built-in voice recorder makes it quick and easy to record audio directly to a MicroSD card.
8. Sound Blaster Roar supports aptX® and AAC codecs, which enable low-latency Bluetooth connectivity. You get the same sound quality as a corded connection.
9. NFC connectivity. One-touch interface between Sound Blaster Roar and an NFC-enabled device is enough to pair it wirelessly.
10. You can connect up to two Bluetooth-enabled stereo devices to Sound Blaster Roar at the same time! Creative Multipoint lets you easily switch between your smartphone and tablet, for example.
11. Bedtime mode – Turns the volume down gradually before shutting down automatically. It saves energy instead of playing music all night.
12. Life-Saver mode. Sound Blaster Roar has a dedicated mode that plays different sounds at random intervals to keep you alert.
13. Dual purpose rechargeable battery. The 6000 mAh battery, in addition to autonomous up to 8 hours of playback time, can also charge smartphones and tablets.
14. Built-in siren for instant attention, such as at a mass outdoor event or in an emergency.
15. More Sound Blaster features. By connecting your speaker via USB, you can take advantage of sound processing for your PC or Mac by downloading Sound Blaster Control Panel software with SBX Pro Studio™ technologies, which intelligently enhances sound in real time.
Features of the SBX Pro Studio™:
* SBX Crystalizer™ – Improves sound in games, music, and movies by restoring bass and treble lost in audio compression
* SBX Smart Volume – intelligently reduces sudden volume spikes by automatically adjusting playback volume
* SBX Dialog Plus intelligently enhances the sound quality in music and movies, dramatically improving clarity
* SBX Bass – significantly improves bass sound quality
* SBX Surround – Helps you feel incredibly realistic and surrounded by real speakers
Sound Blaster Roar acts as an external Sound Blaster sound card when connected to a PC or Mac via USB.
More about components
Active 2.5-inch speaker for impressive bass performance. The sound is routed upward to stabilize the speaker and expand the sound space so that sound quality does not depend on the listener’s location.
Further bass enhancement. In addition, the speaker is equipped with two opposite side passive radiators, which significantly expand the sound field.
Compact, powerful high-frequency speakers. Rugged, lightweight tweeter for balanced high-frequency sound. Two of these high-quality 1.5-inch speakers are also designed to disperse high frequencies in the far zone.
Acoustically optimized speaker design.
