    Product Description

    Level up your gaming experience with Sound BlasterX G6

    sound blasterx g6 usb dac beside playstation 4

    7.1 HD External Console Gaming DAC Amp with Xamp Discrete Headphone Bi-amp for PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and PC

    Upgrade your game! The Sound BlasterX G6 immediately improves your audio, giving you a much more enjoyable experience compared to what you get from default motherboard audio or any other USB Gaming DAC in the market.

    The USB sound card works with PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and combines a virtual 7.1 32-bit / 384 kHz, 130 dB USB Digital Audio Converter (DAC) with our awesome Xamp discrete headphone amplifier for incredibly detailed audio. It also boasts Dolby Digital decoding, virtual 7.1 surround sound, game-voice volume balancing via GameVoice Mix, Scout Mode, and Sound Blaster's 30 year legacy of impressive sound enhancement technologies.

    All this comes together to make the Sound BlasterX G6 an incredible audio upgrade for both gamers and music and audio enthusiasts.

    Works with PS5, PS4, Xbox One, PC

    Works with PS5, PS4, Xbox One, PC

    The Sound BlasterX G6 features a wide array of connectivity options – optical, USB, and even line-in – which means your gaming audio will be instantly improved whether you’re on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox.

    * Voice communications is not supported on the Xbox One

    Impressive Surround Sound and Accurate Positioning

    With support for Dolby Digital decoding* and 7.1 virtual surround sound, the Sound BlasterX G6 reproduces your opponents’ footsteps, gunshots, and other audio cues with remarkable accuracy.

    *For Windows users

    Audiophile Quality Meets Powerful Audio Processing

    Hear In-game Cues with Scout Mode

    Activate Scout Mode to give yourself a distinct tactical advantage! This tried and tested technology enhances important in-game audio cues – such as footsteps and weapon switching sounds – allowing you to quickly and accurately pinpoint your opponents' location before they pinpoint yours!

    Xamp Discrete Headphone Bi-amp

    The jewel in the Sound BlasterX G6’s proverbial crown is our custom-designed Xamp discrete headphone amplifier. As opposed to single amplification found in other gaming DAC amps, Xamp amplifies both audio channels individually. You’ll enjoy more detailed audio on highs, mids, and bass.

    Xamp will drive any gaming headset excellently, but it goes even further than that. The ultra-low 1Ω output impedance perfectly drives performance-grade sensitive 16Ω in-ear monitors all the way to studio-grade 600Ω headphones.

    130 dB, 32-bit / 384 kHz DAC

    The specifications of the Sound BlasterX G6 are impressive. It serves as a 32-bit 384kHz DAC with an ultra-high dynamic range of 130dB. The DAC features an oversampled multi-bit modulator with mismatch shaping technology that eliminates distortion, ensuring that audio is streamed with the highest level of detail and fidelity. The Sound BlasterX G6 also supports hi-res PCM and DoP audio formats.

    Balance Your Audio with GameVoice Mix

    Find the Perfect Balance and Be Focused on Your Game

    GameVoice Mix* is now available for PlayStation users on the G6! This feature gives you game audio / chat balance capabilities so that you can find the perfect balance with ease and be focused on the game!

    Without having to pause or leave your game's screen, you can seamlessly adjust your game's audio and teammates' chat volume directly on the G6 via the volume control knob. Teammates getting too rowdy on the other end? Control how loud you want them to be by switching between the volume levels of their chat and the game's audio level.

    All it takes is a one-time setup, and this feature is always ready when you need it.

    *GameVoice Mix is available on PS4, PS4 Pro, PS4 Slim, and PS5 only via optical cable connection. PS5 will require an additional (not included) HDMI to Optical converter.

    Looks very good, Makes big difference in sound quality
    Background:-I bought this product for music Production and Gaming-This is the first time I buy a Blaster or any other product from Creative-This is the first time I buy a Soundcard that doesn't come with my mother board-I'm moving to 32bit from 16bitAfter researching for quite a while, I found out that most 32bit soundcards cost around 250$-400$ and are NOT portable.Since I move a lot between PCs and also use Nintendo Switch, I thought it may worth a try.----------------------Product Look:-The device itself looks very good, it has a smart button layout and is not heavy as it may look-It has lights around buttons so you're able to know which mode is on when it's dark-The RGB logo in the middle is very cool and has options for color, cycling speed and more through the "Sound Blaster Connect 2" software on their site-It has a nice light around the "volume wheel" but unfortunately you cannot change it's color apart from white/red-The top surface is pretty reflective so it looks very nice around Leds/Lamps (see in pictures)-----------------------Softwares:-There's a Driver, Firmware Update and "Sound Blaster Connect 2" you have to download manually from their site.It can get annoying to re-download it on multiple PCs but it goes pretty fast.-Inside the software you can switch between various sound settings modes that are made for specific usageThere are modes for: Gaming, Music, Movie, FPS and famous sound-sensitive games like:CS:GO, Fortnite, COD, Overwatch, Rocket League and Dota 2-There are also "Voice Morphing' options that are disturbingly realistic-------------------------------------Sound:-It amplifies sound VERY potently, to a point I can use my headphones like Speakers (DT 990 PRO)-It allows you to hear a TON of detail you never heard without it, the music I produced before using it sounds 5x deeper and detailed now, to a point it's boosting the confidence I have about the quality of my stuff.-I feel like I can now master my tracks and harmony to a greater depth, I love the level of sensitivity it gives me to play around with.-It also decreases potently the delay between pressing my midi keyboard to hearing the result, even with multiple heavy samples (Make sure that you choose "Creative Sound Blaster Asio Device" as a sound device inside your DAW)------------------------------Cons:-The main material looks metallic but isn't-The device CAN get pretty hot after few hours of usage-The bottom of the device feels fragile and weak if you apply even minimal force on it-There is no physical Off/On "Power button" anywhere on the card, means I cannot instantly hear my stuff without enhancements-There is no option to change the adjustment wheel's color/color intensity (as far as I know)-The USB it comes with is way too short for a "portable" card-VERY VERY small letters on the Warranty information that come's inside the box------------------------------Tips:*You should use a longer Mini-USB*You WILL need to re-adjust to some of your games, this card gives you depth and intensity you never played with before*You should find the right software/mixer settings that will fit your game-play and headphones*You need to Manually change the Hz/Bit Value to 32bit Studio Quality on your PC's Sound Device options*Some games/applications doesn't support 32bit, in these cases you will need to go down to 24bit 44.1hz .(Examples I know of: Osu!, League of Legends, Borderlands The Pre-Sequel)
