Overview

Creative SXFI CARRIER heralds a new dimension in Dolby Atmos® soundbar technology with built-in Super X-Fi® Spatial Holography to create a new multi-speaker cinema experience on headphones. The SXFI CARRIER carries on the engineering marvel of the award-winning Sonic Carrier which has been dubbed by industry experts as the “soundbar of the gods”.

Jointly developed by Creative and Dolby Laboratories, SXFI CARRIER has the same sound signature as the 15.2 Sonic Carrier at less than half the size and at a fraction of the price. Even with a scaled-down size, SXFI CARRIER can transform your living room to provide a full-fledged cinema experience.

When there's a need to enjoy your movies privately at night without disturbing your family or neighbors, put on SXFI THEATER headphones (optional) to enjoy the same cinematic experience as you would on the soundbar.

Dolby X Creative

The SXFI CARRIER is the first-of-its-kind Dolby Atmos® Speaker System (DASS) soundbar, featuring Dolby's new innovative acoustics concept that pushes the performance limits and capability of a compact soundbar to a whole new dimension.

From the soundbar of the gods to the SXFI CARRIER with the same team that worked behind the scenes of our 15-driver Sonic Carrier, we managed to develop a soundbar that is capable of producing the same sound signature as the Sonic Carrier, at less than half the size, and at a fraction of the price.

Unyielding Engineering Excellence

With our decades of audio expertise, we designed and tested numerous prototype soundbars candidates to select the best for the SXFI CARRIER. This involves even more prototype speaker drivers of different shapes and size, positioned in all kinds of angling to finally arrive at the perfect Dolby Atmos® acoustics signature.

Only with this unyielding resolve in attaining engineering excellence were we able to achieve this new soundbar dimension

Audio

Hear Each and Every Syllable

Ever watched a show where its cinematic sound effects were so overwhelming, you couldn't hear what the characters were saying? Increasing the volume makes it worse, because everything gets louder across the board, including the dramatic special effects.

We've resolved this on SXFI CARRIER by integrating our custom-designed, low distortion drivers with intelligent dialogue enhancing algorithm to deliver unusually clear, full bodied, and intelligible dialogue. This is then further enhanced by our dialogue processing technology, where the soundbar is purposefully tuned to intelligently detect and enhances vocals and spoken dialogue, making it easy for you to follow the story.

Surround All Around You

That familiar surround sound experience that you know from the cinema? It's now available, in the comfort of your home. With the personal involvement from Dolby's experts in which Dolby Atmos® surround technology is implemented, the SXFI CARRIER is set to provide you with the ultimate cinematic experience, and for all content that supports Dolby Atmos-even streamed ones like Netflix, Apple TV, and Prime Video.

All About That Bass

Fitted with a 10” driver in a deceptively small enclosure, the accompanying wireless subwoofer punches way above its weight. You'll catch yourself holding your breath subconsciously as the smooth, yet remarkably powerful bass reverberates through the entire room. The scale and drama that we all know and love from cinemas—made possible by this compact subwoofer with a huge bass.

Super X-Fi

Best of Both Worlds

Been binge-watching the entire day and you need to switch over to headphones before the neighbours complain about the noise? If the thought of going back to stereo audio in your headphones is unbearable for you, Super X-Fi is bound to blow your mind.

Our Super X-Fi Spatial Holography recreates the soundstage of a surround speaker system in headphones, and personalizes it for you with Artificial Intelligence for a natural listening experience. Dolby Atmos cinema experience will be faithfully recreated with Super X-Fi.

On the SXFI CARRIER, Super X-Fi is available through a 3.5 mm headphone jack for any of your headphones, although a Super X-Fi certified one would be preferred. However, for the ultimate audio enjoyment, we strongly recommend using the low-latency wireless Creative SXFI THEATER headphones (optional).

Movies that are played over headphones with Super X-Fi sounds as spatially convincing and believable as they would within a cinema, or a multi-speaker setup, but with the benefit of audio privacy without disturbing your neighbors (and family) even when it's late into the night. Plus, you get the best seat of the house because Super X-Fi puts you right smack in the middle of the audio sweet spot-at all times.

Design

Room-filling Audio, Not Speakers

Having full cinema-like audio in your home does not necessarily mean that you have to forgo half of your living space for an expensive surround speaker system.

Plus, our SuperWide™ technology expands the soundstage of your stereo content beyond the soundbar's physical size. You'll find that our SXFI CARRIER is one of the most compact soundbar systems that belies its size and brings out a full-fledged, cinematic audio experience in your home.

Smaller than the width of most TVs, it is crafted to be stealthy with a small footprint so that your content can take center stage. The SXFI CARRIER is elegant yet minimalistic, and is perfect for any home settings.

Incredibly Simple Setup

From unboxing to listening, the soundbar system can be easily installed within minutes in any home effortlessly, without the unwieldy mess of wires!

And you don't have to be a tech genius to set up the SXFI CARRIER. Simply plug in the HDMI cable between your TV and soundbar, and you'll be enjoying your new home entertainment system in no time. Cinema with all the comfort of home? Checked.

In addition, you can also setup your gaming consoles via the USB-C port, and enjoy the full surround envelopment for a realistic battlefield experience.
