3D TV is all the rage right now but what about 3D sound? That’s where Antec’s new SoundScience ruckus 3D/2.1 speaker system comes in. The rockus™ 3D | 2.1 speaker system
creates a personal home theater experience that brings the power and realism of 3D audio together with the clarity and accuracy of high-fidelity music. 3Dsst™, soundscience’s 3D technology, actively analyzes incoming stereo audio signals and intelligently places them into a 3D sound field. The results are a personal theater experience with realistic, immersive 3D sound for your movies and games from 2.1 speakers – whether it’s the impact of an explosion, the snap of a baseball whizzing by a player’s face, or the thunder and fury of a videogame gunfight. The rockus also features a dedicated music mode optimized for superb stereo sound reproduction, letting you hear your music with deep, visceral sub-bass and spacious crisp, mids and highs. soundscience puts 3D cinematic sound and high-fidelity music in its place: Your room.
The anodized aluminum satellite speakers have a great, contemporary look and are designed to “reduce vibration and minimize distortion”. The result is a “clear mid and high-range sound”. In addition, “the 3D-tuned drives deliver audio optimized for the 3Dsst technology”. All this promises to add up to a great sounding speaker system with a small footprint that can fit into any space.
The speakers are available at: Amazon.com, Newegg.com and Antec’s Online store for an MSRP of $249.99.
