The bundled Sound Blaster Command app is essential if you want to get the best out of the AE-9.

The ACM is no bigger than a small cake box, and has the same silver finish found on the sound card. This little box as the following ports: XLR mic input with +48v phantom power switch, 3.5mm mic input and headphone jack, 6.3mm headphone jack, Left/Right AUX-in (at the rear), Headphone impedance selector switch, Volume/Mute knob which doubles as a input selector between headphones and speakers, LED screen, and an SBX button to turn on Creative’s software features. It also has a mini HDMI link that connects to the eternal Audio Control Module (ACM), a desktop box that provides an additional set of features and convenience ports. It houses the following ports: Front Left, Front Right, Rear, Center/Subwoofer, Optical-out, Optical-in, Op-amp Pair 1 (Single DIP), Op-amp Pair 2 (Dual DIP)
