SoundBlaster X-Fi audio processor delivers an "Active Modal Architecture" that allows you, the user, to switch between one
of three modes (Gaming, Entertainment & Audio Creation). Each mode dynamically dedicates the processor's power to
deliver the features, quality and capabilities that you require for that usage.
The SoundBlaster X-Fi audio processor features a Sample Rate Convertor engine that is so precise that any audio
resolution is converted to any other resolution at near transparency with 136db SNR (THD+N). This delivers a quality audio
experience and frees up the audio creation user from having to think about the final required resolution.
The SoundBlaster X-Fi Titanium has a FlexiJack, which serves both as a Mic In/ Line In, and as a Digital I/O connection.
The FlexiJack configuration can be changed in the software. Changing this setting will vary depending upon the mode you
are using the card in - Audio Creation Mode, Entertainment Mode, or Game Mode.
