A handy external USB-C DAC amplifier designed for gaming consoles and PCs, offering enhanced audio features like GameVoice Mix and Footsteps Enhancer.
Here it is. The first Sound Blaster designed specifically for PlayStation® and Nintendo Switch™ users. For PC users, acquiring a DAC, amplifier, or sound card is easy, but why isn't this the case for console users? With 30 years of experience and technical expertise in PC audio, we are extending from the PC world to gaming consoles, and the Sound Blaster G3 is our answer. Designed to be an easy-to-use driverless audio upgrade for gaming consoles, the G3 is intended to provide users with unique gaming features that don't require breaking the bank.
We are making our first foray into the console gaming audio world and debuting our latest GameVoice Mix feature for game and chat balance, a customizable EQ preset with a tailored Footsteps Enhancer feature, and on-the-fly audio adjustments without having to leave your game screen.
If you've previously only been accustomed to your console's basic audio settings, try the G3 sound card. Its performance speaks for itself.
Driverless Audio Upgrade - USB-C Powered. Perfect for PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Mac. For an instant audio upgrade, the G3 is fully powered by a USB-C connection. This dongle works across various platforms - PS4 and Switch consoles, PC, and even Mac. And best of all? Setup couldn't be easier, as we designed the G3 for plug-and-play functionality - no special software or drivers needed. With USB audio, just connect the G3 to your devices, and it works right away. For devices with an older USB-A connection, we provide a USB-C to USB-A converter. Simply connect the converter to the G3 and plug it into a USB-A port for improved audio quality.
Better Gameplay with GameVoice Mix - Play Better. Chat Better. Win the Battle. You own your beloved headphones. They are your absolute favorites, but why do you have to give up so much just to get that ONE feature? The G3 debuts our latest GameVoice Mix* gaming feature, often found only in expensive devices. The G3's GameVoice Mix offers game audio/chat balance - all without having to give up your current headphones or sacrifice your wallet. Chatting with your team while playing PS4? Balance the volume of your game audio and your teammates' chat as desired. Without leaving the game screen, you can easily increase chat volume during an attack to hear your team better, or quiet down chatter and boost your game audio with the GameVoice Mix volume control - just connect the G3 to a USB-C port and an optical/line-in port for enhanced gameplay. *This feature is only available for PS4, PS4 Slim, PS4 Pro consoles, PC, and Mac.
One Hand. All Controls. Designed with form and functionality in mind, the G3 provides direct access to independent microphone and volume controls on both sides of the device. While adjusting your in-game controller with one hand, you can make microphone and volume adjustments with the other hand!
Footsteps Enhancer - Hear, Then See. In a game where every millisecond counts, waiting until you spot your enemy on screen will likely get you killed. With the G3, you get the ability to hear more than what you see with the custom Footsteps Enhancer, a customizable EQ that allows you to hear footsteps, pinpointing exactly where your opponents are.
Mobile Remote Control on the Fly - One App. All Controls. Make changes to the G3's audio settings on the fly directly from your mobile phone! Without having to quit or leave your game, adjust your audio settings remotely with the Creative App. Is it annoying when you're chatting with your team, but you don't know if your voice is too quiet or loud? Just turn on the microphone monitoring app in the mobile app and control how you want to be heard while hearing yourself. And that's not all! You can also make instant changes to bass or treble, modify your Footsteps Enhancer mode, or even adjust the volume and microphone when the G3 is out of reach - all you need is a Bluetooth® connection.
High-Quality Audio - Hear Better. At the heart of the G3 is an audio chip that supports high-resolution audio performance, capable of driving studio-grade headphones up to 300 Ω. Combined with its ultra-compact and lightweight form factor, this is precisely the audio upgrade missing from your console setup.
