Congratulations on your purchase of the Philips Seismic Edge Sound Card!
Thank you for enhancing your computer with the Philips Seismic Edge™. We know you’ll agree, once you
give it the edge, that your PC will never sound the same again.
Now get ready to ignite your imagination with the most immersive soundstage ever created on a PC . . .
… a full-blown, digital surround-sound, discrete six-channel home theater experience, through your new
Philips Seismic Edge Sound Card. Seismic Edge is the first PC card to deliver the impact of 6 distinct
channels of sound, using advanced digital signal processing algorithms and extreme hardware acceleration,
extracting audiophile-quality sound from your PC with no added strain to your processor – not just from
DVD’s or 3D audio games but from all your games, music and movies.
Load your favorite music, games and movies and be prepared to hear every detail as never before
articulated through 96 distinct 3D voices, 256 distinct DirectSound voices and 576 distinct synthesized
Wavetable voices.
The heart of your sound card is Philips’ powerful new ThunderBird Avenger audio processor, which relieves
your computer of performing enormously complex audio processing. The results are dramatically faster,
more-responsive gaming effects and more-convincing three-dimensional audio soundfields, all without
placing new demands on your computer.
Advanced DSP algorithms from QSound Labs provide rich three-dimensional sound for every application.
If you have headphones or only two speakers, Seismic Edge’s patented psycho-seismic codes envelop you
in a virtual soundfield created from up to ninety-six independent 3D voices.
Add rear, center and subwoofer speakers, and Seismic Edge will transform your PC into your personal
home theatre system, fully capable of playing the very latest Hollywood DVD releases in full-blown digital
glory. Take your music CDs, MP3s, video files, cut scenes and stereo games to the max while you’re at it –
rediscover your existing collection while you add new favorites too!
Seismic Edge truly revolutionizes PC sound. Install your sound card as directed, connect a 5.1 speaker
system (left & right front, left & right rear, center, and subwoofer) and try these:
•
Play the latest Hollywood DVD hit and be prepared for goosebumps as sound effects sweep you
