Using Your Headset

Playing Games

Your headset is equipped with cutting edge audio technologies and software to

enhance the audio in your games. THX TruStudio PC will elevate your gaming

experience to the next level, hear the sounds of Azeroth like never before!

THX TruStudio PC

THX TruStudio PC is specially designed to bring the same great audio experience

found in live performances, films, and recording studios – to the PC.

THX TruStudio PC Surround provides immersion control to enhance the natural

sense of audio depth and spaciousness by creating virtual surround sound

channels. Stereo content or multichannel content played over stereo speakers and

headphones will sound as if it’s coming from all sides while voices remained

centered in front and original balance and timbre is preserved.

THX TruStudio PC Crystalizer restores the dynamic range that is lost when iTunes

and MP3 music gets compressed. This makes the music sound as good as the

artist orginally intended, and adds an enhanced level of realism for movies and

games.

THX TruStudio PC Bass fills in the low frequency tones and gives the extra impact

for a better entertainment experience. Consumers no longer have to tolerate lack

of bass in speakers built into notebook PCs, 2.0 speakers or headphones, as THX

TruStudio PC Speaker technology dramatically improves the sound experience

without a subwoofer.

THX TruStudio PC Dialog Plus enhances the voices in movies for clearer dialog,

allowing the listener to hear the dialog over the rest of the soundtrack and over

ambient noise in the listening environment.

THX TruStudio PC Smart Volume addresses the problem of abrupt volume level

changes during playback and between songs by automatically and continously

measuring volume, and intelligently applying gain and attenuation to compensate

for those changes.

Communicating with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)

Use the headset to enjoy outstanding acoustic performance for your VoIP

applications like Skype

, or instant messaging applications like Yahoo!

Messenger.
