The Yamaha ZG01 Gaming Mixer is designed to take up minimal desktop space while providing comprehensive, yet intuitive control over commonly accessed audio effects. Deeper, but less frequently used settings may be accessed through the ZG software.

Customize your mic/voice and game sound settings in the ZG software, then recall them instantly from the ZG01 mixer preset buttons. Mic/voice settings include compression, limiter, reverb, pitch, radio voice, and more. Use the press-and-hold buttons for echo and censor beep sounds. Game sound options include 3D Surround Sound, Focus Modes, and 3D Chat Space.

Engage 3D Surround Sound to immerse yourself in an ultra-realistic soundscape using a normal stereo gaming headset. The ZG01 mixer accepts multi-channel surround sound audio from the USB/HDMI input and virtualizes it using Yamaha's proprietary ViReal technology.

Focus modes allow you to customize your soundscape to suit a variety of game titles, scenes, and playing styles, such as suppressing the sound of your own character's voice or emphasizing the game's environmental sounds to hear your opponent's footsteps before it's too late.

With 3D Game Chat Space, your buddies' voices get placed where you want them in a virtual space that avoids overlap with the game sound and creating the feel of being in the same room with them.

Your multi-channel game audio is converted and processed by the ZG01 to reproduce a surround sound experience that can be streamed to your entire audience. Even if your fans only have normal stereo headphones, they can still experience the immersive sonic realism.

The ZG01 connects to your PC with a special USB interface that offers phenomenal versatility. Just install the free USB driver, and the mixer will be recognized as two virtual devices that can send and receive two audio channels for different purposes.

Download the free ZG Controller software for Windows and Mac to access all of the ZG01's deep setting and customization features that truly bring the mixer to life with a personalized audio experience.
