Joshua van AGN Hardware heeft een review gepost van de Turtle Beach Montego II Quadzilla, een geluidskaart gebaseerd op de Aureal Vortex II chipset met 4 speaker support (vandaar het bijvoegsel 'Quadzilla'):
As we all know (and those of us who don't, should), the Vortex 2 is the king of positional audio. While the Live! uses careful reverb and echo effects to create sound environments, the Vortex 2 uses mathematical algorithms to calculate the position of a sound in a particular space. In 2 speaker tests (using Altec Lansing ADA-305 speakers), the Montego II was certainly better at recreating positional audio than the SoundBlaster Live!. Games such as Half-Life and Aliens Vs. Predator sounded a bit more realistic in positional sound placement (environmental effects aside) on the Montego II.
