It seems Creative Labs is re-releasing the Sound Blaster Recon3D now with SBX Pro Studio. Interesting fact is, the card no longer carries the THX logo. previously these cards came with the THX TruStudio Pro software which of course needs a hefty licensing fee for THX. This has now been replaced by Creative's own SBX Pro Studio, in its newest Sound Baster Z series. Post-processing layers such as Crystalizer, Pro Surround, Pro Bass, Smart Volume, and Dialog Plus, are each re-branded with SBX ProStudio prefixes. The card is itself in terms of hardware is 100% similar to the previous model.
So by replacing THX TruStudio Pro the product is now labeled Sound Blaster Recon3D r2.
