today's video is brought to you by the creative soundblaster ex katana welcome strangers to my gaming crystal come on in so check it Tech fans you guys who follow the channel have probably seen this room before because I have filmed a few videos in here but what you probably didn't know this is like my main gaming area this is where I spend all my time Epona play games and do that stuff I do it in this room and it's a pretty cool room right now the walls are kind of bare but I'll tell you a little bit why I have that that way because it has to do with Mike Mike totally night lighting effects which I think you guys are going to think is pretty cool now first off obviously I got a big giant desk I don't know where the heck I got this damn desk at I believe it was at one of those like Office Depot places like that but there are many other desks that are pretty similar to that so the desk is kind of irrelevant but what's really relevant is the cool badass stuff I have in here for gaming now the system I have is by main gear and this is a totally crazy awesome build you guys can see the system features the custom of everything inside of it and much much thanks to the people over at main gear for kicking me the system I mean I got to tell you folks I am so thankful for this I just want to kiss them because the system's amazing I mean dual Titan XP cards x99 motherboard 5960 cpu I mean everything inside this system is just the best it's got an intel 1.2 SSD I mean let's just face it folks this thing is a gaming monster has plenty of life inside of it it's also green matching the nvidia themes has Nvidia video cards inside of it and all in all we'll just play any game that there is without a problem I mean really now as we bounce around to the desk where I game you guys can see right off the bat that I have a giant monitor the ex35 monitor it's an Acer predator amazing monitor you guys have seen our videos on it we'll have some links below on my desktop you guys can see that I'm using a couple products that we've actually reviewed because basically what I do is when I get new stuff in I keep it and try it until I actually find something better so I'm using the glaive mouse by Corsair and I'm also using their k63 keyboard you guys have seen these things reviewed they're very nice products for my sound I honestly would have never thought that I could have used a sound bar that impressed enough with it to replace my speaker system that I'm using you guys have followed the channel you guys know them into audio I like high-quality audio products but the katana and honestly blew me away and I like the way it sounds if you've ever had a chance to actually hear one in person I think you guys would really like it as well now before we jump into the features and everything check out this graph where it shows the entire katana broke apart in CAD like fashion I just thought it was a really cool thing that you guys would like to see it as well now you guys can see the katana fits really nicely underneath my monitor fit really nicely under your monitor and one thing that's really good about that is it saves you guys desktop space instead of effing worry about the wires stretching out to put your you know stereo speakers out and everything like that with the katana it just sits nicely tucked underneath your monitor and you guys see it looks very cool as well it's got a nice sleek design on top of all the operating function buttons you also have two of the speakers there there are two speakers underneath that as well we'll talk about the speeches in a second and then on the bottom underneath my desk is actually a subwoofer so you not only get the sound bar you get the sound bar and you get a subwoofer so your speakers don't have that lousy no-ball sound you guys know what I'm talking about a lot of speakers out there don't offer you you know a full dynamic range both the katana believe me it's great for listening to music great for playing your games great for TV and let's just talk about those features the katana also has the Aurora reactive lighting system so if you're into RGB it's here as well so katana is lined with 49 programmable LED lights from edge to edge and if you're totally into a customized lighting environments the katana also comes with five different lighting modes the katana delivers its sound from two up firing midbass drivers to high excursion tweeters which are located in the sound bar and then one long Thor driver in the subwoofer now each of these drivers is totally individually chambered and powered by its own DSP controlled amplifier to deliver ultra precise audio to every speaker I know you guys don't want to hear like a spec perspectiva thing but I just got to tell you guys that all the different speakers inside of the katana from the sound bar to the subwoofer are all tuned to be optimal I mean you get totally thumping bass to this driver that's housing a carb compliant MDF cabinet with a flared port now this allows increased airflow I'm telling you folks the bass on this thing really thumps and even at maximum volume you never get that weird sound where it sounds like it's just too loud or trying to put too much energy into the speaker they are so well designed that even at full volume all the speakers still maintain a really nice sound that doesn't sound like it's straining itself to be heard the katana is a breed of its own it utilizes a tri amplified designs with a total output of 75 rms with a 150 watt peak power and like I said this is room-filling very clean sound now beyond powering the Tri amplified design the katana also features a proprietary multi-core DSP that is capable of producing 24-bit high resolution audio and to get totally immersed in your games and your movies the katana is also Adobe Digital decoder that converts analog sound from an optical source into digital 5.1 configurations and through the USB port the katana can also double as a sound card which supports a virtual 7.1 channel audio you can control the katana by two different ways either by the included remote which makes it very easy if you just want to kick back and relax and do everything by the remote or you can use the buttons on top now on top of the katana we feature a power Bluetooth button audio up and down the source button and then last but not least is the SPX profile button the katana also supports bluetooth 4.2 now this gives you a connection range of up to 10 meters so if you don't feel like Tunisia computer on you can still enjoy all the convenience of great audio wirelessly without your system and if you're one of those folks that has a lot of music on a USB Drive you can simply plug the USB Drive into the back of the katana and you're up and going and you still don't have to have your PC turned on and with the headphone and microphone jacks you don't have to wake up the entire house to be a late-night gamer if you're looking for true Dolby certified 5.1 audio all you need to use is the optical end also located on the back and lastly there's a micro USB port to connect to your PC as well now the very last thing I have inside my gaming area folks is my HP Officejet Pro 8740 now this thing does absolutely everything I need is kind of a little bit in the way but a lot of times I'm printing out numbers and doing stuff for my business so I just find it kind of convenient for it to be in here all right everybody so that's where I game once again a nice shout out to the people of it creative labs for kicking down the katana and sponsoring today's videos you guys could check it out now a lot of the questions I'm going to get I know we're going to be about the lamps in the back they're from Ikea they're really cool I'll see if I can find a link but if not well you know where to get them you get good idea check them out you're probably bev on their website now also my mousepad this thing is so super thin this is the Roccat zero I don't know if this is still available or not I'm not really sure but I like it because it feels really really natural now as far as the katana speakers go the sound bar I honestly thought honestly I kind of mocked it my first fear because all the other sound bars I've ever really heard unless they had a separate subwoofer that you plug in them and stuff they honestly just didn't have that great of a sound they were almost Bhalla the biggest thing I got to tell you guys I like about the katana be honest looks and that stuff is like I said you can turn the volume all the way up on it this room we filled with frickin earth-shaking bass and sound and there's no distortion at all and I just got to say that I really like that quite a bit some people out there made you know different you know I have a different opinion if you guys do definitely let me hear your guy's opinion down below if you haven't ever heard the katanas you guys should at least take a listen to them because they're under 300 bucks right now and I think it's a really good price range for what they are you can operate them you buy the remote or directly on it you can listen to all your music all that good stuff so it's just a really cool thing all in all about those speakers I'm going to put some in my living room in my living room I had the Bulldog system I have my giant huge TV it's really fast so I'm going to put a set out there as well I mean normally I don't think that creative like gears these things towards the TV as much you know because they don't have all the features connect just buy your TV like through a USB connection excuse me that USB connects to an HDMI connection so if you have the ability to use the HDMI connection to be that way but since I already have everything set up inside of my Bulldog in the living room these things are going to be awesome so I'm going to buy another set that just tells you how much I actually believe in them I'm going to buy another set and put those in my living room and get rid of the soundbar I have there its Yamaha it's just honestly just it isn't that great and has no balls so at the end of the day hope you guys like the video it's Kai to mix my gaming room mix and we know in was something that you guys would find interesting a lot of times I have the ad you guys tell me hey we really like the add more than that thing you were doing so well today if you did that why I hope you do then then thumbs up and then last but not least there's copy Texas going on they've won a lot of awards already there this year at the show with the katana do you guys want to check those out I'm sure their stories all over the place about it I'll also see if I can get links to that but it didn't today folks yeah this is where I do my gaming I also want to put something upstairs for doing smaller stuff like castle defense and stuff like that doesn't take it you know great big huge amount of power but at the end of the day my area is pretty cool the walls are bare I know you're kind of going wide at the balls bare let's check this out the reason that the walls are there excuse me for a second is because I have a complete cool nightlight system in here so real quick let's just check out the room with no lights and check out the lighting effects I mean it's really cool I can only do two colors right now you know the green and the blue with this one by order some other ones and the lighting effect in here we're gaming with all these different little things going around the ceiling stuff is actually pretty damn cool so I'm Miller you guys been watching Tekken tomorrow like usual down below like button we'll have all kinds of information about all of these products my gaming products all
