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.
