Easily port your gaming audio settings by connecting to your PC or Mac and customizing your personal Recon3D Profile™ that can be used with any platform.
Hvis vi lige skærer alle de fine salgstekster fra er det interessant at have med et Quad-core eksternt lydkort at gøre. Det er også yderst interessant, at det kan bruges på så mange forskellige platforme. Hvor let det er at skifte imellem dem, finder vi ud af under testen. Det sidste der springer i øjnene lige med det samme, er Scout Mode, der nok skal få nogle af CS og BF3 nørderne op ad stolen. Kan man virkelig købe hardware med indbygget "cheat"? Vi må se om det virker!
Jeg er ikke verdensmester i at gå helt ned og analysere lydkortet på printet og The Boss har venligst bedt mig om ikke at ødelægge produktet, så det lader jeg være med. Er man interesseret i at gå længere ned i detaljer, kan man altid gå ind på Bit-Techs review, hvor de med glæder skiller produkterne af i atomer, for at se, hvad der findes indeni. Link til det review kan findes her: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/soundcards/2011/10/24/creative-sound-blaster-recon3d-review/1
Lad os få produktet sat til og se om det kan leve op til alle de flotte ting Creative selv skriver.
