gaming experience.

rear channel (rear center) that produces a richer and more consistent surround effect than that of
systems with only two rear channels.
Note: The Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Feature Showcase Demo can be installed using the separate Feature
Showcase Demo CD in your package. This demo will run only if a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum
eX card is installed because the software utilises the card’s hardware capabilities for the demonstrations.
