Creative Technology Ltd. today announced the Creative ZiiSound T6 — the latest addition to its extensive Pure Wireless speaker family. The all new speaker system assumes the position of the flagship Surround Sound wireless speaker in the Pure Wireless speaker range.
Like its predecessors, the ZiiSound T6 retains the characteristics that have made the Pure Wireless speaker range a success:
- Works with all compatible stereo Bluetooth devices like notebooks, netbooks, the iPhone, iPad, PCs, Macs and tablet computers
- Quality wireless audio transmission
- Fast and easy connection
The ZiiSound T6 personifies everything the Pure Wireless speaker range is, where speakers have been engineered for wireless audio perfection, based on Creative's in-house wireless technology reference system — an engineering optimization that brings out the best wireless audio performance in Bluetooth and apt-X technologies for speakers.
Each ZiiSound T6 speaker system comes with the following audiophile-grade features that guarantee performance that is beyond best-in-class:
- Swivel satellite top drivers for Surround or Stereo applications
- USB 5.1 audio (software decoder required)
- High performance low latency apt-X codec
- Audiophile-grade satellite drivers
- Creative SLAM three-driver-subwoofer, with its signature deep, tight bass delivers Low Frequency Effects (LFE) that can be felt
The ZiiSound T6 now brings the wireless speaker experience further than any previous speaker in the Pure Wireless range — it delivers high quality wireless Surround Sound, as well as 5.1 Surround content via a wired USB connection.
Wireless Surround Sound
The apt-X high performance low latency codec enabled speaker system comes with a subwoofer and a pair of adjustable Swivel-Speaker-Array satellites that give users the option for stereo music or “theatre-like” Surround Sound streamed from wireless apt-X devices — such as netbooks, notebooks and tablet computers like the ZiiO Pure Wireless Entertainment Tablet — for a completely immersive wireless music, movie and gaming experience. What is more is that it transforms all compatible stereo Bluetooth devices into a wireless remote control.
USB 5.1 Surround
The ZiiSound T6 also offers users the option of enjoying 5.1 Surround content via a wired USB connection. The three-piece-system is capable of “full-bandwidth” audio from 5.1 digital soundtracks. With sound pressure levels to fill compact-sized living rooms, the ZiiSound T6 takes entertainment beyond the desktop and is the ideal companion speaker system to new age media entertainment centers and the ever growing wireless hand-held ownership.
