Advanced 3D Positional Audio Support: 
-------------------------------------
Unlike other sound cards with simple 3D sound that positions the sound source 
to quad speakers, Santa Cruz uses Sensaura HRTF 3D positional audio technology
to move sources in the X, Y and Z plane for true 360° positional effects that
appear above, below and around you. The DSP accelerates 32 hardware and 16 
software DirectSound3D streams. 3D audio is compatible with A3D(TM) 1.0,
EAX(TM)1.0/2.0, IA3D, MacroFX(TM), MultiDrive(TM), Virtual Ear(TM).

Acoustic Sound Fields:

Santa Cruz lets you position the ambiance effects for each sound source to
any speaker to create the perfect listening environment.
