Creative Technology debuts the Creative XF1 — a Hi-Res desktop speaker system that delivers 72 watts of RMS power output through a bi-amplified, fully active two-way design with dedicated amplification for each driver. This ensures clear, controlled sound across a frequency range of 55Hz to 40kHz.
The Creative XF1 speaker features dual Hi-Res Audio certification, supporting high-resolution playback up to 40kHz over USB audio and analog line-in, as well as Hi-Res Audio Wireless via LDAC with Bluetooth 6.0. This provides versatile connectivity options including USB-C, a 3.5mm auxiliary input, and a dedicated subwoofer output for expanding into a 2.1 system.
Creative Technology offers its Hi-Res desktop speaker system in a compact and minimalist design, available in black or white with a detachable cork stand for optimal angling.
