audiospectrum–thiscompromisesdeliveryofthehighsasmostofthe
focusgoes into producing thelowsand mids. Onthe other hand,the
Sound Blaster Roarhas twoampliers that allowit to produce audio

Space-Filling Dispersion
AnoutstandingaspectoftheSoundBlasterRoarisitswidesoundscape.
Whilemany otherportablespeakersstruggletoproducea convincing
“stereo” sound, the boxer-style layout of the Sound Blaster Roar
produces space-lling audio easily. The powerful front left and right
driversdoanamazingjobofdispersinghigh-frequenciesforwardwhile

Extremely Stable at High Volumes
Unliketop-heavy, front/rear-designedspeakersthat vibrate and move
positions at high volumes, the Sound Blaster Roar is stable as a
rock even while blasting at maximum volume. Designed for acoustic
performance, the top-ring bass and mid-level driver of the Sound
BlasterRoarislaidhorizontallywhichincreasesstabilitywhileitsrigid
monocoqueendoskeletalchassisreducesinternalcomponentsthatcan
vibrateindividually. So what youhear is puremusic, freeof annoying
vibrations and rattling.
