Creative Labs Launches Modular Sound Blaster Audio Hub on Kickstarter, Raising the Bar for User Customization
In a bid to revolutionize home audio setups and take on industry giants like Elgato, Creative Labs has launched a modular audio hub called Re:Imagine. This innovative product boasts an all-new approach to user control, allowing users to effortlessly route any input device to any output with just the press of a button.
The heart of this technology lies in its versatile magnetic modules โ featuring a 3-inch smart screen, four-button pad, rotary knob and dual sliders โ which can be rearranged on the base unit at will. The Horizon base is available as the default design for the Kickstarter campaign, while an expanded six-slot Vertex base serves as a stretch goal.
This cutting-edge hub boasts an impressive array of specs. Equipped with an octa-core ARM processor, 8GB of RAM and 16GB of flash storage, Re:Imagine also features a microSD card slot for expandability. At its core lies a high-resolution 32-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
But what truly sets Re:Imagine apart is its AI-powered DJ feature, built-in DOS emulator for retro gaming enthusiasts, and one-tap audio recording capabilities. The module's developer-friendly design means that users can access an included SDK and sample source code, encouraging them to build their own custom apps and sharing them with the Creative Labs community.
With a shipping date slated for July 2026, potential backers have until December to contribute to the campaign. Backers will be rewarded with early bird discounts and exclusive inclusions with every pledge.
