Using Audio Radar with Headphones and External Speakers
Audio Radar is designed to work alongside headphones or external speakers, enhancing your gaming experience with visualized audio cues.
How It Works
Audio Radar processes audio directly from your gaming console or PC, not from output devices like speakers or soundbars. It analyzes the in-game sounds and translates them into directional visual cues on the LED light bars.
Using Headphones with Audio Radar
- If you're using a corded headset, you can connect it via the 3.5mm audio jack on the front edge of the Command Center.
- However, at this time, headsets with built-in microphones will have their mic function disabled when plugged into this port.
Using External Speakers with Audio Radar
- Audio Radar does not interfere with external speakers, soundbars, or surround sound systems.
- You can continue using your preferred audio output system while Audio Radar works independently to provide visualized sound cues.
