3. The Philips Sound Agent 2 HD

The Philips Sound Agent 2 is a Graphical User Interface that provides all the unique and powerful features of the Ultimate Edge Soundcard. The PSA2 HD and the soundcard have the intelligence to detect the source and the type of your audio stream. Based on these factors, the system determines the nature of the audio processing and spatial algorithms that deliver the best quality sound possible. However, sound quality is personal and subjective. That is why PSA2 HD allows the capability to adjust and fine-tune the audio to suit individual taste.

The following sections provide a detail description of the PSA2 HD features.

3.1. Basic Interface Operation

To launch and setup Philips Sound Agent 2 control panel, double click on the PSA2 HD icon in the System Tray (normally the lower right hand corner of the screen). See Figure 7.
