Tactical Mixing Console

Besides the Mute and Mic Mute buttons, you can adjust not only the master volume but fine tune the volume of each separate surround channel individually.

Volume Control

This huge high-grade volume knob lets you finetune each audio channel and the overall volume of Sirus in great detail. It’s resistive enough to prevent volume hikes by accidental sliding over the knob with your hand or elbow. Your ears will thank us.

Mute

This button lets you mute Sirus with the click of a button, in case you have to escape the realms of game for a quick IRL chat or phone call, and lets you toggle right back into the fun by pushing it again.

Mic Mute

At the press of this button it will light up in red and your mic will turn off in an instant allowing you to discuss sensitive details with your team matest sitting next to you.

Advanced

Use this button to fine tune individual channels to create a deadly FPS profile giving you superhuman in-game sound perception or an incredibly immersive universe of surround sound tailored to your favorite game or movie.

The master channel adjusts the volume of all channels simultaneously, keeping the fine-tuned balance between the channels. Use this to tune out background noise in your room and get into the game or movie.

Center

The center channel is commonly used for everything happening right in front of you, your mic shouts, steps and gunfire, and very useful in FPS games! Provided the game supports it, you can adjust this channel to tune out your own steps and gunfire to better focus on surround sounds, like an opponent sneaking around the co rn e r.

Front

The front channel controls the volume of the front left and front right channel – on a

big difference, this channel is the most important as all the crucial action going on around you in-game will likely be to your front-left or front-right.

Rear

The rear channel controls the volume of the rear speakers in Sirus. This channel is crucial to create immersive surround sound that puts you in the center of the action.

Bass

The bass uses its own seperate channel, so you can tune out loud deep sounds such as explosions to focus on what else is going on, or amplify it and get blown away by the action and become one with the game.
