Toggle navigation. Support for 7. Surround Mixer faders now calibrated in dB. Creative Labs have updated their popular Audigy 2 soundcard, improving its audio performance and adding new features. So what have Creative Labs managed to achieve in such a short time that warrants a new product launch?
Also new is support for 7. The EAX 4. Since the Audigy 2 ZS is so similar to its predecessor I'll concentrate on the differences only: if you want to find out about its inherited features I suggest you refer to my original review of the Audigy 2 in SOS April However, one hardware item is definitely new: the supplied RM remote control is a slimline unit powered by a CR button cell, and is a lot more stylish than its predecessor.
On the software side, you still get the option to install just the 36MB of driver files, but the full install including all supplied utilities and applications is MB — you certainly get plenty for your money with a Creative card.
Creative provide reviewers with copious notes on how to set up Rightmark's Audio Analyser to get the best results, specifying that Line Input 3 must be used, and explaining that this has been specifically isolated to avoid ground loop problems that will 'artificially distort the RMAA results'.
Thus, using Line Inputs 1 and 2 will give poor test results, but in normal usage their performance should be the same as Line Input 3. However, although you'd never normally want to connect your inputs to your outputs, many musicians will connect them both to an external mixer, so I'm not entirely convinced by this argument. Moreover, during my auditioning I could just hear a small amount of background hum and buzz from the Audigy 2 ZS through my speakers even with only Line Out 1 connected, which is indicative of a ground loop problem.
The supplied RM remote control. The fact that Creative need to supply such detailed instructions on how to achieve best audio results by disabling the CMSS 3D, EAX, Karaoke, Equalizer, THX Setup and Speaker Calibration, plus muting and pulling the faders down to zero for all but one input in the mixer, and setting its fader to 58 percent 0dB rather confirms what I've said all along about the Soundblaster range — that all the extras sometimes get in the way of achieving the cleanest playback and recordings.
However, to their credit, Creative have made adjusting the input and output gain controls on their Surround Mixer much easier than ever before: clicking on them now provides a readout of the current value as both a percentage and in dB, which makes setting up far easier. As on the original, however, there were still characteristic ripples at the high end at all other sample rates, where ASRC Asynchronous Sample Rate Conversion had been employed, although once again the dynamic range was slightly better.
I was interested in ascertaining whether or not I could hear the improvements subjectively, and spent a long time auditioning the ZS against my own Echo Mia with a wide range of music — the Audigy 2 ZS CS D-A converters theoretically have a better spec than the Mia's AK, though this is not the only factor in play.
Despite the ground loop problem I mentioned earlier, which limited its ultimate dynamic range, the ZS provided an extremely good overall sound with precise imaging, and proved to be very close to the Mia, with only a subtle thinning during The ZS is certainly the best-sounding Soundblaster soundcard to date, and anyone considering buying an Audigy should make sure that they get this model.
While the graphic equaliser is best kept 'out of circuit' for the cleanest sound, there's no denying its usefulness to those with multimedia speakers that need a little help to sound balanced, and for those with a surround setup, the new THX Console and support for 7.
