Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1 USB card from Creative is a nice addition on systems which not support installation of internal solutions, being available on both Windows and OS X platforms. Even if the device has a small footprint, we do get connectivity for 5.1 systems, optical, but also integrated dual-microphone array along with an extra 3.5mm jack Mic-in and Line-in.
The sound card features a very sleek, modern design and is quite compact in the same time; at the sides of the Sound Blaster logo we will get to see the built-in dual microphone with CrystalVoice technology; to the right we have the Volume control dial and further down we will get to see the IR interface:
In the front we also have the Line-In jack, one Mic-In jack, but also the Headphone jack, all gold plated:
On the back side of the unit we have the USB port, one optical S/PDIF Out connector, RCA Front Out jacks, one Rear Out jack, but also one Center/Subwoofer Out jack:
On the top side of the sound card we have a red LED illuminated line which stays lit continuously when USB power is detected. The light blinks intermittently when there is IR remote activity, but also blinks continuously when the audio is muted:
On the bottom side of the unit we will be able to see four small rubber feet:
The extra bundle from the package is composed from a Quick Start Guide leaflet along with the Installation CD with drivers and applications:
One extra document is provided regarding WEEE Directive and Batteries Directive:
The small manual explains with drawings and text how to perform the installation, in multiple languages:
