While that’s certainly a tight niche in which to launch a product, it’s one the Recon3D fills admirably, and as such is worthy of an Approved award.This package provides the driver for the Creative Labs Sound Blaster Recon3Di CT9570. At £90, it’s also considerably more expensive than current PCI-E sound cards such as the excellent Asus Xonar DX.įor gamers who play over multiple formats using headphones, though, the Recon3D is a great option. Those with fancy multi-speaker setups need look elsewhere, as the Recon3D doesn’t supplant a functional X-Fi or Xonar sound card. Matching most high-end sound cards with a 24-bit resolution and a maximum output sample rate of 48KHz, the Recon3D produces excellent audio.
Creative is selling a bundle of the Recon3D, the Tactic 3D Omega headset and the wireless module for £210, but for the rest of us it’s a useless feature that you’re paying for regardless.ĬonclusionDespite some questionable features, we’re impressed by the Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D, not least because it brings highly configurable audio to consoles and not just the PC.

This analyses the audio and enhances certain frequencies, with the claim that it allows you to more easily hear footsteps, gun shots and other game-critical noises. These settings are then saved to the unit, so you’re able to use almost all these settings (the consoles handle voice-comms separately) from whatever audio source is plugged into the Recon 3D.Īs well as the expected audio controls and mute button, the Recon3D itself also holds an extra feature in the form of Scout Mode.

There’s also support for Dolby Pro Logic surround sound decoding and further dynamic range controls, as well as microphone manipulation suite CrystalVoice, should you want to make yourself sound like Darth Vader, a Munchkin or an old geezer over voice comms.
