MSI Introduces Syren Line Of Audio Products

MSI is busting out another bag of tricks today, deviating from its usual onslaught of notebooks and graphics cards to offer up a number of audio products. The appropriately named Syren series aims to deliver dream-worthy sound, and at least initially, the family will consist of the SyrenSound X-Fi high-end sound card, the SyrenPhone Gaming headphones and the SyrenSpeaker mini speaker system.

The SyrenSound X-Fi sound card is powered by Creative Audio Processor CA0110, optimized for PCI Express to deliver accelerated audio while supporting X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity Audio technology. Unlike traditional cans, the MSI headphones connect to your PC via a USB port, and there's also a noise-reducing microphone for chatting whilst playing online. Finally, the in-line volume control ensures that you won't need access to your PC's volume sliding in order to raise or lower the decibels. The cube-like speaker system also connects via USB and includes a Class-D amplifier and a mini volume rocker. Unfortunately, MSI hasn't issued pricing or release details, but specifications are all posted below.
