The PC market recently welcomed to the table a new innovation in audio from Maingear – the Maingear EPIC Audio Engine. There’s no reason why you should have to choose between your eyes and ears but gamers are often asked to do so. This audio solution is ideal for gamers who want the best gaming pc without sacrificing high quality audio.

The EPIC Audio Engine utilizes APHEX’s Exciter processing technology for superior sound. Instead of messing with frequencies all the time and inadvertently adding gain, you can now obtain the frequencies you want without compromise. You won’t have to painstakingly try to balance the audio levels - realistic, amazing sounding audio comes right out of the box. In addition to this, the audio engine comes with a headphone amplifier, which boosts the signal of the PC audio, and improved processing on the mic, also using APHEX technology, which enhances your voice for when you are playing popular online multiplayer games.

The EPIC Audio Engine is extremely simple to incorporate into your computer setup. Instead of connecting to your discrete sound card or motherboard, just plug into the audio engine and in turn plug the engine into your front panel header. You can turn the engine on or off with an included switch. It’s great for gaming or just jamming in your free time. In fact, the EPIC Audio Engine was tuned by professional engineers from Downtown Music, LLC, a company that is home to a number of major acts and operates its own recording studio.

This engine has a number of possible advantages for those using gaming computers. As games become more sophisticated, audio cues become more common. With the EPIC Audio Engine, you can hear footsteps down the corridor or other sound effects that might be important to gameplay. You also don’t want terrible audio to take you out of the experience – when the graphics are incredibly realistic, do you really want to hear the sound as though it was coming through a shower radio? In addition to all this, you will be able to communicate with your online team better – they’ll hear you more clearly thanks to the improved mic processing and you’ll hear them more clearly thanks to the Engine’s excellent audio specs.

If you are as interested in music as you are gaming, the EPIC Audio Engine provides the simple advantage of better audio. You’ll be able to hear MP3s and other file types more clearly, and your expensive headphone sets won’t be going to waste on your gaming computer any longer. With this engine you can make music or mix it more easily.

A top gaming computer should be a complete multimedia experience, not just a graphical powerhouse. As gaming computers become more highly developed and capable of amazing things, it’s important to remember not to leave audio behind. Maingear has definitely recognized the importance of high quality audio and their EPIC engine is not to be ignored if you are looking to step up your gaming experience.
