About the Presets

About the Presets

Turtle Beach headsets use a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to independently modify the game, chat

and microphone audio paths in the headset. The DSP settings are saved as presets, which can be
saved to your headset using the Preset Manager software.
The presets are grouped into three major categories: Global, Game, and Chat. Most headsets have
1 Global, 9 Game, and 9 Chat Presets. Headsets that support Speaker Mode offer a second set of 9

Game Presets for that mode (see below).

Preset Types

Global Preset: There is a single Global Preset on each headset that applies general tuning and level

control. This affects all audio you hear on the headset.

Game Preset: Game Presets control the “Game Audio” and allow for effects that specically apply to

the game path.

Chat Presets: Chat Presets control the “Chat” (Other people’s voice) and “Mic” (Your voice) and apply

effects only on these two audio paths.
