2.1.3 Q3D Control Panel
Q3D is a positional 3D audio technology provided by QSound Labs for use in accelerating
current games with superb 3D rendering as well as featuring new output options and en-
hancing acoustic environments for tomorrow's game titles. Positional 3D relies on access to
multiple individual sounds in order to place them independently and dynamically in 3D space.
Compared to the traditional two-speaker output, Q3D may be configured to drive multiple
speaker outputs in addition to standard stereo configurations. Fully compatible with Microsoft
DirectSound, A3D API and the Environmental Audio Extensions™ (EAX) from Creative Labs,
FM801 audio controller provides a PC-home-theater experience and brings instant gratifica-
tion for listeners and gamers.
