At the heart of the Sound BlasterX AE-7 is the high-resolution ESS SABER-class 9018 digital-to-analog converter with a signal-to-noise ratio of 127 dB, a resolution of up to 32-bit / 384 kHz, which provides the basis for high-quality sound. But also all other components and signal paths are of the highest quality and shielded against interference frequencies by the EMI-Shield. With the headphone amplifier, each channel is amplified individually, which is reflected in a particularly high fidelity and responds to both low and high-impedance headphones.

The powerful Sound Blaster Command software also enables extensive sound adjustment with equalizers, surround effects or specific sound profiles for individual games. The revised Scout Radar 2.0 is a special feature for FPS gamers. It can be used to locate opponents via noise and can now also be displayed on the smartphone via the Scout Radar app. A 5.1 surround system can be supplied with Dolby Digital Live / DTS via the gold-plated connectors and the sound card offers a virtual 7.1 surround mode for stereo headphones. The audio control module enables convenient volume control. In addition to the integrated array microphone, it also offers two 3.5 mm and 6.3 mm connections for headphones and microphones.
