Razer Barracuda AC-1 Soundcard Review

Razer is well known for its gaming mice but just how well does its new gaming soundcard fare against the might of Creative’s X-Fi?

..Coming from a company whose forte is input technology rather than sound, the Razer Barracuda AC-1 is impressive to say the least. Though our tests proved its competence where games were concerned, the fact that it did not have native multi-channel audio support programmed specifically by game developers meant it was always going to be hard recommending the Razer Barracuda AC-1 to hardcore gamers. Razer still has a lot of catching up to do in an area that’s still dominated by Creative Technologies.

It’s a different story altogether for those looking for great surround sound for movies and music. Having proven its surround technologies, the US$199.99 Razer Barracuda AC-1 is a great audio solution for HTPCs.
